"In my sessions with Markella our conversations always flow very easily and naturally, like catching up with a friend. Yet, Markella always catches interesting pointers, highlights patterns or thoughts that she observes, and brings them to my attention. ​ These help me to debunk various myths and hidden stereotypes that are buried in my subconsciousness. Our conversations are helping me to detect them, understand them and bring on a more conscious level. I am learning a lot about myself and to be more aware of the drivers which influence my behaviour, triggers, decision-making processes, and overall perspectives on multiple areas of my life. ​ Currently, we discuss many pregnancy-related topics as I was in my therapy with Markella before and during, I got pregnant. Markella is a great support in navigating through many insecurities, mood changes, fears, and overwhelming feelings which are naturally linked with my current status change - becoming a mother. ​ Markella helps me to understand many changes my body and mind is currently undergoing. Extremely helping is understanding the myths and stereotypes linked with motherhood that are rooted in our society and often create pressure on expecting mothers. I am extremely grateful for these sessions as I am gaining freedom from these stereotypes, and this allows me to focus more on enjoying (rather than fearing) my unique experience."
