"I use a combination of eastern and western approaches to psychology. I believe in both science and spirituality and I don't believe in choosing one or the other as both are necessary to live a holistic life. "

Stress and anxiety has become a part of our daily lives. We can have everything we need to survive and yet, still feel like there is something missing in our life. That is because "surviving" in itself is not enough to feel "happy".
Many of us can feel like we have "first-world problems", yet living everyday with feelings of uncertainty, that feeling of "I need to be better", "Something needs to change", "Am i missing something?" and "What's my purpose?" can be difficult and overwhelming especially if you are dealing with these problems alone.
In this day and age where uncertainty is everywhere, everyday life experiences can lead to feelings of stress, overwhelm and frustration especially if you feel you are not "succeeding" or meeting your own or others expectations.
As human being what we need to do is to focus on what's within our control. That is how we breathe, think and behave in response to the crazy world we live in. When we can learn to anchor our-self through self-regulation, we can bring awareness to the things that we do that can sometimes lead to unhelpful behaviour patterns.
The aim of therapy is to slowly change the cycle you live in and to release yourself from that feeling of "stuckness".
Ikigai Psychology Clinic is a not only a safe place where you don't have to filter yourself, you will also learn practical strategies to deal with uncertainty so that you can develop a better relationship with yourself and others.
