I was raised as a professional musician since my 4th year of life, and since my 6th it was clear that I will become a concert pianist. I remember reading psychology books and articles since I remember myself reading at all. But somehow, it never came to my mind that this is what I would like to do for my life. Working with minds and inner thought of people around me.

​

It is not until 4 Master degrees and 2 internships that I decided to take my secret interests seriously and took a break from music as I felt I was not really following my calling as a pianist or even then later as a vocal coach. It sounds easy but it took me many years to finally commit to change and find out in which form can it take place. You will see below, all the credentials and education paths that followed - starting a new career requires all new kinds of degrees, especially in psychology world.

...AND ABOUT MY

 

METHOD

​

Very often I hear: "Why go to therapy, I can talk to my friend". Yes, and no. People who know you will often try to help you by giving advice and their judgement of you and your situation. But that is often what you don't need at all. Remember anytime getting pissed off because your friend keeps saying to you what you should have done? In coaching/counselling session you get undivided attention and unconditional regard - this means the counsellor is apriori thinks you are a good person and helps you find the answers you are already having in your head, just you could not get to them yet. In my sessions I also give somoething special: through the years of analyzing people and then through the years of coaching and counselling I realized that most of the problems stay unresolved because they go in circles; and the core of these circles is, in my observations and analysis, NOT GIVING YOURSELF PERMISSION TO BE YOURSELF. 

​

My own example: if I gave myself a permission to like psychology and take it seriously enough, I could start this path already 22 years ago! (I am happy with how it went, though.)

​

So when you procrastinate and want to stay in bed and nothing else; when you want to shout at people; when you want to change profession; when you secretly wish for anything or to be in a certain way - not giving yourself permission is what keeps you where you don't want to be. "Ok, I will stay in bed then". Well, it is not so easy. You will stay and still mentally punish yourself. So that is not giving yourself permission! And what it is - I can show you on our sessions.
