01 · About me
From corporate life to entrepreneurship and the practice, contributing to people’s mental health and education
I worked as an employee in the corporate world for about five years before moving into entrepreneurship. Since then I have kept working with large companies to this day. That experience gives me a direct understanding of the pressure inside organisations, not just a theoretical one. I understand just as well that we are different, and that this makes us react and adapt differently to what our environment asks of us. For the past 11 years I have practised intensively as a psychotherapist. In that time I have also contributed to two projects very dear to me — the Burn the Burnout (burntheburnout.ro) and InYourMind (inyourmind.ro) platforms, built for prevention, assessment, intervention and support for the people who come to us.
My approach is also rooted in personal experience — I have been through my own hard stretches in life, and I know, not only from the literature, what it means to look for balance after a period of exhaustion. I work one to one and in groups, starting from the idea that wellbeing is built; it does not simply appear.
