Grow Through Life by Mandana Ghanad

AN INTEGRATIVE APPROACH

Psychology looks to the past to understand the present, coaching looks to the present to create a better future. My approach is an integrative one that draws upon a range of therapeutic orientations to better support my clients in creating healing, growth and a more fulfilling life overall. The main approaches guiding my work are psychodynamic, person-centred, CBT, mindfulness, and coaching. Everyone goes through mental health and wellbeing challenges, and my top priorities are to: 1) create a safe, loving, and confidential space where you feel comfortable to talk about your concerns and feel unconditionally accepted; 2) provide guidance and support through difficult and good times in order to improve your wellbeing and create long-lasting change.

CHANGE FROM THE INSIDE OUT 

Every person brings their own story, unique experiences and needs which are always at the centre of each session. Together, we look at understanding your thoughts, feelings, behaviours, and how your experiences are affecting you, always with the goal of learning and growing from each experience. We focus on creating change from within which then radiates externally into all areas of your life. We look to gain increasing self-awareness and build strong internal foundations so that when obstacles arise, you can face them with trust, compassion and confidence in yourself. 

Areas I deal with include self-esteem, self-confidence, stress, anxiety, relationship & family issues, self-doubt, feeling lost, attachment, breakups, separation & divorce, loneliness, grief & loss, abortion, perfectionism, burnout, emotion management, imposter syndrome, procrastination and more.

GETTING STARTED

If you have never worked with a Psychologist or Coach before, making the first step is often the hardest. Here is some useful further information:

Session Duration: 60 minutes

Location: Teletherapy via Zoom Video Call.

Frequency: Sessions usually take place at the same time every week. However, it is always adapted to your preference and needs. It is quite common for clients to fluctuate over time in terms of session frequency, based on where they are at and their needs.

Availability: Weekdays in the daytime. In certain cases, evening appointments can be requested.

Languages: EN, LU, FR, DE, FA. I also speak CZ, ES in case it might help you to better express yourself.

Initial Phone Call: An opportunity where we can get to know each other, explore your situation and how we could work together.

Duration of cooperation: I usually work with clients over the long-term. Cooperation is open-ended and continues for as long as you feel you need/want sessions.
