Sol Engmann
Counsellor
Sol is trained in psychosocial intervention and holds a PhD in neuroscience. They joined the Bhavana la clinique team in 2023.
More than 10 years of experience as a community worker have allowed them to develop active listening and support techniques, and to recognize each person’s expertise in their own life and the importance of autonomy in decisions about their health and body.
THEIR APPROACH
Supporting someone means helping them see the options they have and the choices they can make, even in a difficult situation, and offering perspectives so they can act themselves to improve their mental health according to their needs. As a queer, trans and neurodivergent person, Sol uses a feminist, anti-oppressive approach that centres the person and their expertise. They want to help people regain their agency and a sense of control despite temporary and systemic difficulties and obstacles. They know how to bring creative practices into therapy, adapting their approach and language to each client’s needs and unique way of seeing the world.
Sol has particular expertise in non-traditional relationships and the issues faced by trans and/or queer people and their families. They offer their services not only to individuals, but also to couples and family members.
Their intention is to strengthen their clients’ autonomy on their unique journey and to equip them to build resilience in the face of their own difficulties, in a non-judgemental space. Everyone deserves to be met and welcomed with empathy and respect, whatever their path and situation at the time of the meeting.
