Not knowing how to handle certain thoughts, emotions or situations, and not feeling in control of a situation, can cause a lot of stress within us. 

Considering your situation, you might have noticed that you have gotten stuck in a certain perspective or a certain pattern of thinking, feeling and behaving that doesn't help you to resolve the situation that you find yourself in.  Or maybe you understand why you are not reaching your goals, but you do not know how to change yet.  Or, maybe you feel very overwhelmed and stressed, and you need some help with clearing your mind to start perceiving life again from a calmer place. 

Whatever the situation, I would be happy to help you find the options and answers for your specific situation. Together with my clients, I define a starting point and an desired end result. In practice, this means  that we will be working on a pattern of thoughts, feelings and behaviours.  

During our sessions, we will analyse the specific pattern that you want to work on, and we will do this by using specific tools. Examples of patterns to work one might be: Feeling not in control (over own actions, feelings, etc), being a boundary less person, being an indecisive person, feeling like you are being too sensitive and therefore you are suppressing emotions, disempowering yourself, etc. 

Together we will work towards a broader perspective of the situation that you find yourself in, and on exploring the options of handling your specific situation. The solutions to situations might be very practical, such as; learning how to organise, or making sure that you better understand the work culture, or the solution could be found in processing a traumatic experience so that you can be free of the emotional charge attached to the experience.
