Psychotherapy for an authentic life
I believe that the simpler we make our lives, the more we can feel connected to a sense of wellbeing, whatever that means for each of us.
About me
Catrinel Ștefan
I am a psychotherapist specialized in transactional analysis. This form of therapy looks at the client's current impasse in a non-critical way. I can work with you on challenges such as anxiety and depression, self-esteem, personality disorders, eating disorders, shame, identity and gender topics, and traumatic experiences.
I have experience offering psychotherapy to people from Roma and LGBTQ communities and I am welcoming toward neurodivergent people, those who feel excluded or like outsiders, and anyone facing prejudice in society.
I have studied and practiced transactional analysis, especially within the relational school with a focus on the idea of togetherness (we-ness) from the co-creative approach. I have also joined study and practice groups in body-based therapy rooted in the Alexander Technique. These experiences taught me that mind and emotional life are deeply connected and deserve constant care so we can live in balance.
How I can support you
Individual therapy
A steady, holding space where we look together at what hurts, what you want to change, and who you become in the process.
Individual therapy (online)
Online sessions offer the same container with added flexibility and continuity, even during busy seasons or while you are on the move.
Personal development group
In a guided setting we learn to share vulnerability and transform the old patterns that keep us stuck.
How I work
I am curious about the modern tendencies of psychotherapy to become accessible for everyone and to stay in dialogue across the world and in diverse contexts. I love listening to the perspectives of people outside the field about going to therapy and about what each person takes from the process. I believe that the simpler we make our lives, the more we can feel connected to a sense of wellbeing, whatever that means for each of us.
