Psychotherapy in English in Cluj-Napoca

Psychotherapy or Psychological Counseling is the process in which people, helped and guided by a professional, learn how to improve certain aspects of their life. I am specialized in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), an empirically supported treatment for several psychological disorders. You can find more information about CBT visiting the website of The Royal College of Psychiatrists (www.rcpsych.ac.uk/mentalhealthinfoforall/treatments/cbt.aspx). If you are interested in the treatment of a certain disorder please visit the website of the National Institute for Clinical Excellence (hwww.nice.org.uk/) and go to Find guidance -> Mental Health and behavioural conditions.

I offer clinical evaluation, psychotherapy and counseling to individuals and couples. The problematic aspects we can address in therapy/ counseling include:
- anxiety disorders (panic attacks, social phobia, specific phobias, obsessive-compulsive disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder, generalized anxiety disorder);
- mood disorders (depression, bipolar disorder);
- eating disorders (anorexia, bulimia);
- sexual disorders (sexual dysfunctions, problems regarding gender identity);
- substance dependence and abuse (alcohol, illegal drugs, nicotine);
- relational problems with family and/ or partner;
- anger.
The principles of CBT are also used in personal growth and optimization (improving abilities, problem solving, communication skills, stress management, health education and improving life style).

The work schedule is from Monday to Sunday (only with appointment).

Please call for more information or to make an appointment. You can also find more resources here: www.cci.health.wa.gov.au/resources/consumers.cfm

Pornind de la cuvintele lui Sorescu ("Cu mine se petrece ceva. O viata de om.") putem spune ca, in mare parte, vietile noastre urmeaza acelasi curs: ne nastem, parcurgem etapele dezvoltarii fizice si intelectuale, formam si mentinem relatii cu cei din jur, muncim, ne bucuram, suferim, crestem in cunostinte si experienta, imbatranim, murim. Astfel, experientele noastre legate de aceste etape se situeaza pe un continuum al variabilitatii: nu sunt ciudate sau anormale, ci doar mai apropiate sau mai departate de media populatiei. Cu totii traim stari de tristete, frica, furie etc., unii dintre noi mai intens, altii mai putin intens. Iar atunci cand noi nu ne simtim confortabil cu starile si/sau comportamentele noastre, sau daca acestea ii afecteaza pe cei din jur si relatiile noastre cu ei, e indicat sa le ajustam. Terapia cognitiv-comportamentala s-a dovedit a fi una dintre cele mai eficiente metode prin care se poate face acest lucru.
