Approach to care

Anna is dedicated to providing a patient-centered approach to care, which prioritizes the individual needs, preferences, and values of her clients. She employs Motivational Interviewing as a key technique to engage her clients in meaningful conversations. Through this method, Anna helps clients identify and overcome various barriers to their progress. By fostering a supportive and empathetic environment, she empowers her clients to articulate their long-term goals and encourages them to commit to actionable steps that lead to lasting change. This thoughtful and collaborative process not only enhances client motivation but also strengthens their sense of ownership over their health journey.

Your first session with Anna

During our initial session, I take the time to get to know my clients on a deeper level. I seek to understand their personal values, the backgrounds that have shaped their experiences, and the aspirations they hope to achieve. This foundation allows me to tailor my approach to better support them on their journey.
