When I first met focusing in 2004 it felt like coming home. Since that moment Focusing has been an ongoing path in my life and in my work.
In this first meeting with focusing I experienced a safe space to be next to whatever lives inside of me. I felt how it brought a sense of relief and a fresh opening within myself. Also I experienced a natural way for a next step to come, rather than trying to figure that out by thinking. Being a focusingcompanion was a new experience too. It felt so right to support the other in relating to her own feelings, instead of me relating to them. When writing this, again I can feel the joy of having found that.
For me it was clear that there was no other way then learning and doing Focusing more. I took Focusing into my work and in 2009 I became certified as a Focusingfacilitator. I have been providing coaching and therapy from my own practice for over 20 years. Focusing has become an attitude and a skill that is always an important part of it.
Next to coaching and therapy I love to guide and teach others in Focusing. Also I am sharing focusing by teaching professionals how to use the fundamentals of focusing in their work.
