Antonia Meixner

My practice is grounded in a holistic approach and humanistic principles, meaning I take into account the full range of factors that make up your unique experience, including your thoughts; feelings; past experiences; and current circumstances. I also fully believe in your capacity to make the best choices for yourself and enact positive change when given the right support; this is the essence of 'humanistic' therapy. In practice, this means I use a variety of techniques and methods, rather than a one-size-fits-all approach. I adapt my style to what works best for you, drawing from different therapeutic tools as needed. For instance, we might explore how past experiences influence your present feelings; examine how you relate to yourself and others; or look at practical steps to manage current challenges. The aim is to create a tailored approach that fits your unique situation and supports you to work towards your personal goals. At the heart of my approach is an open and collaborative way of working that honours your autonomy. I firmly believe that you possess the inner strength and resources needed to put into place the changes that you would like to see in your life; our work together aims to support you in accessing these. In our sessions, you can expect a confidential, compassionate, and non-judgemental space. I place great importance on building a strong therapeutic relationship (or 'working alliance'), as I believe this usually forms the foundation of successful therapy. This means I fully understand the need to build and earn trust first, and that this can take some time. I will therefore always aim to work collaboratively and at a pace that suits you. Our work together will take place in a safe, supportive, and holding environment where we can explore your thoughts and feelings freely.
