As a therapist, my main goal when working with clients is to establish a strong therapeutic alliance and rapport. In order to do this, I believe it is essential to create a safe and non-judgmental environment where clients feel comfortable expressing themselves. This sense of safety allows clients to open up and explore their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors without fear of criticism or rejection. One of the ways I work on building this alliance is by mirroring my clients' experiences back to them. By reflecting their thoughts and emotions, I show that I understand and validate their emotions. In addition to mirroring, I also use techniques to help clients stay present in the moment. Sometimes, I may interrupt a client as they are telling their story to bring their attention back to their bodily sensations. This can help clients connect with their emotions and experiences on a deeper level, allowing for greater exploration and understanding. When helping clients explore their intentions and emotions, I approach the process with compassion and curiosity. I encourage clients to reflect on their intentions and how they are impacting them in the present moment. By inquiring compassionately towards their intentions, I help clients deepen their self-awareness and insight into their thoughts and behaviors. Overall, my approach to building the therapeutic alliance and rapport involves creating a safe, non-judgmental environment where clients feel understood and supported. By helping clients stay present in the moment and exploring their intentions with compassion, I aim to facilitate growth, healing, and self-discovery in therapy sessions.

In therapy sessions, I often find myself on an explorative path. Each session starts with a general intention, but we end up sailing into uncharted territory that leads to self-discovery and healing. I believe in following what comes up in the moment and building on the therapeutic relationship with the client, as it is the core of the healing process. I approach therapy with curiosity and compassion, as I believe these qualities help in moderating the therapy process. By being curious about the client's experiences and compassionate towards their struggles, I can create a safe space for them to explore their thoughts and feelings. Self-disclosure is another important aspect of my therapy approach. I find that sharing parts of my own experiences and struggles can help normalize the client's difficult narrative. It shows them that they are not alone in their struggles and that it is possible to overcome them. My approach is also based on faith in the client's inner process and faith in my own intuition. I believe that the client has the answers within themselves, and it is my role to help them uncover those answers. I trust my intuition to guide me in the therapy process and to help me know when to push the client further or when to hold back. Being present is key in conducting therapy sessions. I believe that the therapy is a dance flow that requires me to be fully present to myself and to the client. I take responsibility for whatever arises in me during the session and do not make it about the client. I approach any challenging emotions that come up with curiosity, seeing them as opportunities for exploration rather than problems to be solved. Humor is also an important element in my therapy approach. I believe that laughter can be a powerful tool in the healing process, as it can help lighten the mood and create a sense of safety and connection between me and the client. In conclusion, my therapy approach is based on curiosity, compassion, faith in the client's inner process, faith in my own intuition, and the belief that therapy is a dance flow that embeds humor and safety. I strive to create a space where the client feels heard, understood, and supported in their journey towards self-discovery and healing.
