Activity as a systemic consultant
"As a systemic counselor, doctor of life and health sciences, therapy scientist and occupational therapist with many years of experience, I attach great importance to supporting and restoring people's ability to act. The ability to act makes it possible to increase well-being by changing circumstances. For me, self-determination and independence are fundamental rights and core values. The ability to act requires motor, cognitive and mental skills. The methods of systemic counseling have proven to be gentle, respectful and reliable in order to strengthen people in crisis and restore their mental balance."
