About me
“The therapy continues”
I have been counselling for “umpteen years”, since primary school. Even at a tender age I acquired the image of a “teacher-oracle”, and that shaped a particular reputation and calling. Ever since, wherever I find myself, “the therapy continues”. So I prefer to see life itself as a useful adventure. Let therapy, growth and evolution happen. I choose to help them along.

Passions: mountaineering and hiking, diving, paragliding, and studying shamanic practices on different continents.
- How do I do it?
- I mirror: I reflect a person back, returning them to themselves. It is like being a child again: “pulling faces, mimicking, giving it back”. I also test for strength and honesty, and set off processes that develop and deepen and, of course, provoke. Sometimes outrageous, sometimes tender.
- The goal
- A better quality of life. Sometimes that takes a shift, sometimes going deeper towards more happiness and effectiveness. Going beyond the familiar, into new territory inside and/or outside. To where there is more life. Into the territory of clear goals.
- How do I know the work went well?
- When, after a seminar or a meeting, you want to live more than before. I love it when people feel joy or pride in themselves. A sense that their life is just as it should be, though before we met it seemed something was wrong and needed fixing. And then suddenly, everything falls into place: I am in my place and in my time, I am fine, unreasonably fine.
