How can I help?

I trained in psychodynamic psychotherapy so am interested in the ways that our early relationships impact our lives. Through exploring your relational patterns, we can begin to understand your ongoing actions and emotions. Within the safety of the therapeutic relationship we can then consider new ways of being.

Approaches and methods I work with:
Psychoanalysis

Psychotherapy is a deeply personal journey. This journey is unique to each individual, where the journey may begin with seeking purpose in the person’s life or seeking to make meaning of life and its mysteries. It may involve seeking relief from emotional pain and suffering or unbearable feelings. It might also consist of confronting shadows from your past or healing from a traumatic past event. I see my work as a psychotherapist as accompanying you on your journey together, where I hope to support you in finding growth, balance, and a sense of harmony and peace. In addition, I offer supervision, and K9-assisted therapy.

Questions and answers

Don't know how to choose a psychologist? 🕵️‍♀️

The following points may help: - Photo and video introduction. They help you get a first impression. - Issues the psychologist works with/does not work with, and their education. This helps you understand in advance if they have experience with your specific topics.
- Work format. Online or offline, city, district, calendar – all for your convenience.
- Cost. Will you feel financially comfortable?
- Feelings. Pay attention to your internal reaction to the profile: sympathy, trust, curiosity, your intuition – this is also an important criterion.
All psychologists and psychotherapists on terappio.com are verified and have the appropriate education. These are professionals you can trust.

How and when is the payment made?

You pay for sessions directly to the psychologist, without our mediation, additional payments, or commissions. We advise psychologists to take a 50% prepayment for in-person meetings and a 100% prepayment for online sessions. This is necessary to guarantee payment from the client. However, some psychologists may accept payment after the session. Payment can be made in any way that is convenient for both of you. You will be able to discuss this and other questions directly in the chat.

Can I get a refund?

We recommend discussing this matter with your psychologist. Psychologists have their own policies regarding session cancellations or rescheduling. The most common option is the possibility of receiving a refund or rescheduling the session at no extra cost if you notify about changes at least 24 hours before the session. If the session has already taken place or you notify of a cancellation less than 24 hours before the scheduled time, funds are usually not refunded. This is standard practice in the industry, giving the psychologist enough time to adjust their schedule and possibly offer that time to another client who needs it.

I have submitted an application. When will they contact me?

If you submitted your request between 9:00 AM and 9:00 PM, one of our managers will create a group chat for you with a psychologist in your preferred messenger within 5 minutes. If you submitted your request after 9:00 PM, the chat will be created the next morning. We advise psychologists to contact you within 2 hours, but sometimes there may be delays on their end (their work schedule can be quite busy!).

Is it possible to cancel or reschedule the session?

Yes, in most cases, you can cancel or reschedule a session. Each psychologist has their own policy regarding session cancellations or rescheduling. We recommend discussing this personally.
