Psychotherapy

Individuals and couples

Johanna's work with individuals and couples focuses on the here and now: acceptance and empathy are vital elements of the process, together with a genuine interest in and respect for clients. "The most creative solutions are often found through becoming aware of our needs in relation to the restraints and opportunities of our current situation," Johanna says.

Thus, the emphasis is placed on experiencing conflicts and traumas in the present moment, rather than on interpreting the problems, or dealing with past events (though both of these steps can also be part of the process). Johanna's approach is always tailored to the individual needs of her clients and may encompass such techniques as dream work, authentic movement, and creative expression.

Johanna has a deep commitment to being there for her clients and does not shrink from intense or difficult emotional states. She does not look for quick fixes but supports the client's process as it unfolds.
