Holonia is a space for my projects. They share an interest in how people and a shared endeavour can grow while keeping their individuality.
Psychologist · Business consultant
Born in 1978
I help people and organizations navigate change. My work brings together psychological practice and experience in entrepreneurship, company management and IT projects.
I want to understand both a person’s experiences and the systems they live and work within: how individual needs, relationships, goals and actions connect.
My own journey includes crises, losing familiar bearings and finding new foundations. This experience helps me remain attentive to the complexity of another person’s path. Nature, travel and cooking together are also part of my life.
In my work, I combine support and exploration with structure, clarity and attention to practical steps.
I built and developed my own IT company, leading people and projects. I also have experience developing another company and jointly managing a team of 50 people. I understand the responsibilities of an entrepreneur and employer, the complexities of partnership and the need to make decisions amid uncertainty.
My path has taken me from technical work to leading IT projects and serving as an IT director. Today, I consider technology in relation to business strategy: which challenges it helps address, how it changes processes and what people need to use it effectively.
I help explore connections between an organization’s goals, culture, relationships, processes and technology. I combine management experience with a psychological understanding of people to find solutions suited to each organization.
I work with life crises, relationships, identity and the search for meaning. I help people understand themselves, find their own foundations and develop more coherent relationships with themselves and others.
These fields developed in parallel and gradually began to complement one another. Today, they are connected by my interest in the development of people and the systems they are part of.
I help people explore themselves, navigate crises, understand relationships and find their own foundations. I aim to create a space where difficult things can be discussed and new ways of living gradually explored.
My practice brings together psychodynamic work, CBT, logotherapy and attention to bodily experience.
I help reveal connections between strategy, people, processes and technology: exploring what holds a shared endeavour back and finding ways of working that fit the organization.
I value autonomy, clear responsibility and people’s participation in decisions that affect their work.
The practical IT side of my work is presented in a separate project, Inteway. Here at Holonia, you can get to know the broader perspective connecting my fields of practice.
Discover IntewayA person is a whole world, and also a participant in relationships. A family or organization, too, has its own history, character and direction of growth.
I see individuals, families and organizations as different scales of wholeness. Each has its own needs and possibilities, alongside connections with others. In my work, I help make those connections clearer and collaboration more coherent.
Hear your different needs. Find your foundations and your own way of living.
Meet another person while remaining yourself. Create room for everyone to belong.
Understand its character and purpose. Connect each person’s independent contribution with the growth of a shared endeavour.
See a person or system within its context, considering how its parts affect one another, with their needs and boundaries.
The qualities of a whole also emerge from relationships between its parts. Explore both a particular difficulty and the connections in which it exists.
Look at a situation from several perspectives: inner experience, observable actions, shared values and the structure of a system. Bring these perspectives together in practice.
These concepts have different histories. Here are a few thinkers and ideas that help explain my perspective.
This is how I understand the teal aspiration: a person can bring their abilities, feelings and values into shared work. A family or organization can find its own path, recognize its character and respond to change.
This is a direction for my work and an expression of my values, rather than a judgment about who has reached the “right” stage of development.
If this perspective resonates with you and you see an opportunity to work together — in psychological practice, organizational development or a new project — write to me.
