Jan offers individual therapy, couples therapy, parent guidance, and workshops. Her aim is to promote emotional and relational well-being through the therapeutic connection. As a therapist, she is committed and active to work together to find out what’s important for you to work with to have a richer life in line with your own needs. She provides treatment in a safe environment that is meaningful and adapted to the needs of the individual client. At the same time, her methods are rooted in research and psychological knowledge. Jan has extensive experience with emotion-focused therapy, emotionally focused couples therapy, and the therapeutic approach of Daring Way™ (Brené Brown).

Jan works with couples who want to have a better life together, to strengthen the bond by working together to find out what creates difficulties in the relationship, repair old emotional wounds, and increase understanding of both partner’s feelings and needs. She works together with couples to establish new ways of meeting each other.
