A safe space for change

I believe that every person is different, and that therapy should therefore be personal too. In my work, I find it important to create a safe and warm environment where you can feel heard, understood, and at ease. I am curious about each person’s story and try to approach their experiences and what matters to them with openness and without judgment. From there, we can explore together what is going on, what may be getting in your way, and what you would like to be different.
I mainly work from a Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) approach and also draw on elements of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), mindfulness, and schema therapy, depending on what fits you and your needs.
For me, therapy is a collaboration. You know yourself and your own life best, and I am here to think alongside you and help you better understand what is going on. I believe that change is possible, even when things may feel difficult or overwhelming. Together, we can explore ways forward that feel realistic, meaningful, and right for you.

A score we are proud of

It was a big step for me to sign up with a psychologist because I didn’t think my problems were big enough. Ultimately, no matter how big your problems are, you can always come to this practice. Mr. Raja is a fine therapist who offers enough space to tell your story.

The help I get here is amazing! The environment is very nice and the person I am talking to now is very nice and she listens to me and also gives me good advice and tools that work. In addition, it’s nice that I can email her if I’m feeling down and just don’t know what to do. It’s nice to know you’re not alone in this.

I am very satisfied with my treatment. The situation has been looked at very appropriately and based on that, it has been determined what is good and what is not. This has provided clear tools to make a quicker and better choice. This personally didn’t go well and an insight from someone else helps a lot in determining what is right and what is not. Ultimately, this benefited myself and I became more independent. My anxiety problems have become much less because of this and I have become stronger. I’m very happy with that too.

A good problem analysis was made and the advice was in line with this. I liked the feedback of what I had learned via e-mail. This confirmed whether I had understood the advice correctly. The atmosphere during the talks was good. Attention was paid to what was said or not said.

Some time ago I came to Emma through Shehzad with my daughter. Inaya, a girl of 7 years old, got very stuck. Anger at school, and we didn’t quite know where this came from. Emma was very supportive to both me and mother, and Inaya. I was always available for questions, and Inaya loved talking to her. Emma taught Inaya how to deal with her anger, and gave us great advice that also helped school.
