Humanistic Counsellor 
About me 
 
Before becoming a counsellor, I had a background in competitive swimming, which naturally led me to a career as a swimming teacher. I specialized in working with children with physical disabilities and autism, as well as adults who had a swimming phobia. This experience required a great deal of empathy and understanding, much like counselling. 
 
Through this work, I realised that I was doing more than just teaching people to swim — I was helping them transform their lives. This realisation inspired me to pursue first-rate counselling training so that I could fully support others in overcoming their challenges and achieving personal growth. 
 
I understand that when you come to counselling, you want to feel confident that you're seeing someone with a strong foundation. 
 
Since 2016, I have counselled clients from around the world, including England, Scotland, Ireland, Wales, Portugal, Saudi Arabia, Switzerland, Hungary, France, or the USA. This global experience has given me valuable insights into various cultural perspectives and challenges. 
 
Fluent in English and Hungarian, I offer culturally sensitive therapy tailored to your unique background. My work spans issues such as narcissistic abuse, anxiety, and relationship problems, ensuring a personalized approach that respects your individual experiences.
