About me

Hello, I'm Simina. I wanted to share a bit about what you can expect from psychoanalytic psychotherapy with me. Every one of us carries a unique story, filled with emotions, challenges, and dreams. Life often throws us complex challenges, and having someone truly listen can make a world of difference. In our sessions, it’s not just about therapy — it’s about connection, understanding, and discovering the strength within you.   Here are some of the areas I specialise in: ADHD, depression, and anxiety. Narcissistic abuse and codependency. Stress management. Childhood trauma, particularly developmental trauma. Eating disorders and weight loss. Attachment and separation difficulties. Identity exploration, relationship dynamics, and interpersonal issues. Coping with employment and financial difficulties. Pre- and Post-natal depression and the challenges of new parenthood. Fertility problems and coping with miscarriages. Addressing gender and sexuality concerns. Navigating the process of grief and loss. Managing anger and emotional difficulties. Addressing issues related to migration, acculturation, and deportation. Working through marital problems and relationship struggles. Addressing feelings of loneliness. Understanding and managing difficult dynamics in relationships. Improving relationships and becoming a better version of yourself. Learning to let go of the past and embrace personal growth.   An essential aspect of my practice as a Psychoanalytic Psychotherapist is my commitment to working with individuals from all walks of life, regardless of their cultural or religious backgrounds. I possess a profound understanding of diverse cultures and religions, which enables me to offer culturally sensitive and inclusive therapy. This multicultural competence allows me to connect with individuals on a deeper level, respecting their unique perspectives and values.
