Πιστεύει ότι κάθε άνθρωπος έχει τη δική του μοναδική ιστορία και ότι η κατανόηση των δυσκολιών του χρειάζεται να γίνεται μέσα από τις εμπειρίες, τις σχέσεις και το πλαίσιο της ζωής του.

Στόχος του είναι να δημιουργήσει έναν χώρο όπου ο άνθρωπος θα μπορεί να εκφραστεί με ειλικρίνεια, να κατανοήσει βαθύτερα τον εαυτό του και να κάνει ουσιαστικά βήματα προς την αλλαγή που επιθυμεί.
