when we learn to live in the present. Every moment becomes new and creative.
P. Levin
You may find yourself in emotionally challenging situations and distress. You are anxious, depressed, confused. You are haunted by a sense of lack of meaning. You do not feel joy and love. You feel unable to step out of the grip of a painful past. You suffer in relationships. You face blockages and stagnation. Or are you merely curious towards exploring your mission and the wider vibration of being.
In my practice, I create a space of safety and confidentiality. In this space it is possible to pause, to look inward. I am convinced that a loving, authentic relationship heals the soul and heals wounds. Each of us wants to be recognised, seen in the eyes of the other, accepted in our uniqueness and vulnerability. I focus on the potentials that allow us to move towards growth and authenticity. I believe that it is not the human abyss that we need to know, but its ascent. I encourage the expansion of awareness, the acceptance of the present moment with all that it brings.
What we encounter on the path of personal growth is not always pleasing and not always pleasant.
There are parts of ourselves we would prefer to ignore. But these are the parts that cry out for attention the most, where there is a hidden energy that wants to express itself. Our repressed emotions often cause energy blockages in the body and communicate with us non-verbally, in the form of depression, migraines, back pain, illness.
I pay special attention to working with the body, exploring needs, feelings and congestion. Our bodies hold the voices of our ancestors, traumas from the past, wisdom that can make our lives easier. Through the body we contact our spiritual source, the field of infinite potential of love and energy.
We suffer because we try to deny ourselves, and coming home to ourselves is the most beautiful thing.

Opinion for therapeutic work
I perceive Alja as an extremely warm, committed and professional therapist with whom we have managed to create a safe and accepting space relatively quickly, where I am slowly growing and understanding my functioning and thought patterns better with her support. I like that her therapeutic approach is tailored to the individual and treats him/her holistically, including the mind-body connection and bodily responses.
Opinion for literary coaching
In the literary coaching sessions with Alja Adam I got an honest insight into my poetry and my creative process. She helped me to hone my individual poems and to discover my own authenticity in writing with professional and encouraging feedback. I think that her way of working contributed significantly to the completion of my first collection of poetry, Out of Touch, which was published in 2023 by the House of Poetry.
Opinion for the writing workshop
Through simple exercises, and above all by her example, Alja showed us how to pay attention to what you perceive with your body and how to use it in your work. The direct, precise and honest responses to the texts we shared revealed a completely different perspective - I can see much more clearly when I am hiding behind abstraction, where I lose the reader's attention and which parts are alive.
