Frequently asked questions
What does “body-oriented therapy” mean? Do I have to do difficult physical exercises?
Not at all. Body psychotherapy is neither sport nor massage. Most of the time we talk, but we direct our attention to the signals of the body – breathing, voice, posture, small movements and sensations in different areas. When we do use practical exercises (such as grounding, breathing or releasing muscular tension), they are entirely natural and gentle, and always happen only with your consent and within your zone of safety.
Can we work with the body in an online session?
Yes, and very successfully. Awareness of bodily sensations, breathwork, grounding, voice work and nervous-system regulation all work fully over video, as long as you are in a quiet, private space where you feel comfortable.
What does “psychotherapist under supervision” mean?
It is an official stage of the four-year postgraduate psychotherapy training under European standards. It means that, as a qualified psychologist, I actively practise psychotherapy and regularly review my work (with your anonymity fully protected) with experienced certified supervisors from the Institute of Psychosomatics and Integrative Psychotherapy.
