About the approach
We see the individual as whole, fundamentally healthy, and capable of taking responsibility for themselves. They are inseparably embedded in their environment and culture, where they meet their needs and creatively adapt to circumstances.
The therapist sees the client as a unique equal person, not a symptom to be resolved. Symptoms are seen as a sign of the client's creativity. Together we build internal and external support and explore new creative adaptations.
Result of therapy
Greater spontaneity, freedom of choice, liveliness and creativity. The client comes more in contact with themselves, their needs and desires, and develops the ability and energy to follow them.
