Philosophy & Vision

My psychology is practical, change-oriented, flexible to your needs, using proven and effective psychological techniques. We will discuss issues that will help you understand yourself better, and help break self sabotage in the form of unhealthy behavioural, emotional and mental habits. Changing habits is a process of reprogramming your mind, practicing new behaviours, and committing to your purpose.
