Licensed Mental Health Counselor

“Person centered therapy counselling to adults, grieving counselling, life coaching”

About Me

As a Licensed Mental Health Counsellor, I support adults navigating significant loss or seeking new direction. My person-centred approach ensures sessions unfold at your pace, deeply respecting your unique experience. Through grieving Counseling or life coaching, we focus on understanding your feelings and clarifying your path forward. Clients find a warm, non-judgmental space here. We work together to process emotions and build practical steps for personal growth.

Approach

Therapy here moves with the rhythm you set, meeting whatever questions or losses arrive without rushing decisions. In Budapest or online, in English or Hungarian, sessions are relaxed and practical—short pauses to name feelings, gentle experiments between meetings, and occasional advocacy when systems need a steady voice. I blend listening with clear coaching questions so you can test new choices and regroup if something feels off. People facing major change or persistent grief often find this steady, doable way of working helpful.
