She started offering human development workshops to young adult groups at the same time. Since 2003 she has worked full time as a psychotherapist in various organisations and in private practice.

Listening and acceptance are always the basis of her work. Her psychotherapeutic style is determined by what the person needs support with. The person may want to deal with a specific issue like grief, loss, work or relationship stress, anxiety, depression or trauma. S/he might be aware that something in her/his life now is connected to past experience and is ready to approach it. Some people are considering the meaning and purpose of their lives while others want to consider their lives from a desire to grow and change.
