Not everyone needs the same thing. Some people come with something that hurts right now. Others want to understand why it keeps repeating. Others need a clear starting point before anything else.
At the first meeting we decide together which option makes sense for you. If none is right, I'll tell you that directly. I work with people aged eighteen and over, at the practice in Craiova or online.
You didn't get here because something broke, did you? You got here because everything works, but at a cost you can no longer pay.
You learned early to manage on your own. Not to ask for too much. To be the one people can rely on. Back then it was useful — maybe it was the only option you had. Now it's the reason you're tired all the time and don't feel much anymore, neither good nor bad.
Anxiety and panic attacks. Trauma. Loss and grief. Low self-esteem. Anger that's hard to control. Loneliness. Moments of major change, when you no longer know which way to go. Blocks that keep repeating regardless of context.
Usually weekly at first, then the pace is adjusted together. We periodically review whether we're heading the right way.
Sometimes it's not the relationship that's the problem, but the way you always end up in the same place, with different people.
You choose someone who seems completely different, and after a year the same conversation finishes the same way. It's not bad luck and it's not a coincidence. It's something you learned long ago about how closeness works, and it activates without you realising it.
Arguments that keep repeating over the same thing. Distance and coldness. Jealousy. Lost trust. Important decisions you can't make together. And for the situation where you want to check whether it still makes sense to continue.
Couples at the start of a relationship also come here, wanting to begin well, not to fix something.
Sessions with both partners. In some cases I suggest one or two individual sessions with each of you, at the start. What's discussed there stays confidential from the other partner, and the rule is set out clearly in advance.
I don't decide who's right. It's not my role, and it wouldn't help anyone.
Sometimes you need to know where you're starting from, before you start.
The assessment gives you verifiable information about yourself, instead of impressions. How you stand emotionally now, which patterns repeat, what helps you and what holds you back.
You want a clear starting point before therapy. You need a document for a medical or administrative context. Or you simply want to understand why you react the way you do.
Two meetings. At the first we administer the psychological tests. At the second we go through the results point by point and you receive the written report.
The report stays yours. You decide on your own whom to show it to.
For situations where you need a specific document, requested by a doctor or an institution, write to me and I'll tell you whether it falls within my competence and how much it costs.
A written report, in the form required by the assessment committee for adults with disabilities.
For adults who already have a diagnosis given by a psychiatrist or neurologist, and who are asked to submit a recent psychological examination to their file.
The assessment takes about two hours and takes place at the practice. You bring the medical documents you already have. I use psychological tests approved by the Psychologists' College, suited to your situation. You receive the report within a few days.
The assessment can also be done at home, in Craiova, for people who are unable to travel. The travel cost is 150 lei.
The assessment measures how you function now. The disability grade is set by the committee, based on the entire file. Call before booking so we can check whether you need this assessment and which documents are required.
You tell me briefly what's happening. I'll tell you whether I can help you, with what, and what working together would look like. If someone else would be a better fit, I'll tell you that directly and, if I can, recommend a colleague.
It's not a therapy session and it's not a sales pitch. It's how you find out, at no cost, whether it makes sense for us to continue.
Write to me or call. I reply personally, not through a reception desk.
Write just enough for me to know what it's about. Let's leave health details for the practice, not for a form sent over the internet.
