Welcome!

I am Alina, a psychologist and personal development counsellor. I hold a Bachelor's degree in International Psychology from Erasmus University Rotterdam and a Master's degree in Occupational Health Psychology from Leiden University in the Netherlands. I am currently a psychotherapist under supervision at the Romanian Association of Integrative Psychotherapy, and I run my online practice providing psychosocial and emotional therapy and counselling.

My experience includes working with Romanians, Dutch and international adults and teenagers who are experiencing psychological, emotional, relational, or professional difficulties.

My approach combines evidence-based methods with an integrative perspective, supporting clients in exploring and understanding their feelings, behaviours, and personal patterns. Integrative therapy means that I draw from different therapeutic approaches, depending on what best fits the needs of each individual. I aim to create a safe, open, and supportive space where clients feel comfortable expressing themselves and reflecting on their experiences. The ultimate goal is to help my clients discover themselves and succeed creating the life they wish and aspire to through their own powers and abilities. I believe our happiness is our own responsibility and I want my clients to, eventually, truly feel this within themselves and live by this.

My interest in psychology began at a young age. I have always been curious about why people behave the way they do and what lies behind different emotional reactions and life choices. Over time, I realised that my natural inclination to listen, understand, and support others aligned strongly with the field of psychology. Living and working abroad has given me the opportunity to interact with people from diverse cultural and international backgrounds. These experiences have deepened my understanding of the uniqueness of each person's story and the importance of approaching every individual with openness, curiosity, and respect.

I offer online therapy, which allows me to work with clients from different locations around the world. Online therapy is for those of you who want to reduce commute time, have mobility or health concerns, want to have more comfort and flexible scheduling or simply find it easier to express yourself in your own environment and may appreciate having a quiet, safe space to reflect on your session afterwards.
