My work concentrates on saying “yes” to life. It is a journey to find own personal time, the core essence, meaning and fulfillment. I use phenomenological and person-oriented psychotherapy, which aims to create conditions for leading own life more freely and authentically, living more in line with ‘inner consent’, with greater freedom and awareness. I believe that “Life is not a problem to be solved, but a reality to be experienced” (S. Kierkegaard). My approach is within the humanistic school, supplemented by own extensive research in the area of Psychology of Time. I apply and integrate: Existential Analysis, Psychology of Time, narrative practices, Art-Therapy, Positive Psychology, and Mindfulness. Denmark is the sixth country that became my home. For over 20 years now I’m curious about the concept of time, which I do research and creative projects about: I explore how people perceive time of their lives, what are their attitudes towards their own past, present and future, how they make decisions based on that and how it impacts their well-being. I work with: - anxiety - depression - stress - panic attacks - self-esteem and personality growth - psychological support for family caregivers Life transitions: - cross-cultural adaptation - career shifts - relationship endings Existential questions: - aloneness and loneliness - bereavement / grief / death and dying - loss of meaning / finding purpose Time issues: - Time Perspective Coaching - Development of the Balanced Time Perspective
