This balanced, holistic method addresses the material, mental, and spiritual aspects of life for a complete transformation.
I hold a Bachelors in Psychology and a Masters in Clinical Psychology and Psychological Counselling.
I am trained in Adlerian Therapy, licensed as a Personal Development Counsellor and am a European Certified Psychotherapist.
My background in both academic and practical settings has given me a well-rounded perspective on psychology, therapy, and holistic well-being.
about the gold method
The GOLD Method is a life-alignment framework based on four principles—God, Order, Legacy, and Devotion.
It combines science, psychology, and faith to help you create balance, purpose, and fulfillment in every area of life.
Each principle of the GOLD Method offers practical steps you can take to bring peace, order, and meaning into your life.
Through guidance and actionable advice, the method helps you achieve alignment across the mental, physical, and spiritual aspects of your life.
These four principles were chosen because they cover the essential aspects of life.
Each principle builds on the others, creating a comprehensive approach to align your life and bring lasting peace and fulfillment.
