As a psychologist with a three-years training in systemic counseling and therapy, I would like to help you find your individual way to a better life. I have several years of clinical work experience with patients and clients of different age groups and biographies. This experience helped me to understand that every individual has a great wealth of resources and strengths. I can support my clients to become aware of these resources and to understand how they lead to solutions. In some cases it needs a deeper look into the personal biography to understand why the world is currently being perceived in an certain way - and to become capable of acting towards your own goals. A warm and trusting atmosphere is very important to me.
​
I am an LGBTIA+ -sensitive therapist and coach. Everyone, regardless of their age, cultural backround, sexual identity, religion or gender is welcome. All models of relationships are welcome!

Systemic therapy for individuals
Systemic therapy is an accredited psychotherapy approach that assumes that social relationships (e.g. in partnership, family, friends, colleagues) have a major impact on the experience and behavior of every individual. Therefore, the entire "social system" of a client's relevant relationships is acknowledged in the therapeutic process. A central approach is to focus on resources and solutions instead of clinging to the problems. The aim is often to uncover (sometimes unconscious or hidden) strengths and potentials that are helpful to build up psychological resistance (= resilience). Sometimes two to three sessions are sufficient to reach this. In other cases, several sessions should follow in order to adapt a client's behaviour and integrate this into everyday life.
Systemic couples therapy
The reasons for seeking couples therapy are as divers as the people and couples themselves. Often there are many arguments or discussions and both or one side feels misunderstood. A feeling of stagnation or a lack of good communication is described. In other cases a relationship is threatened by affairs or recurring separation thoughts. Or a couple experiences a dissatisfaction in their sexuality and erotic life. All of these topics can be addressed in systemic couples therapy. Similar to therapy for individuals, the aim is to break through recurring entrenched patterns of perception, behaviour and communication. It might be helpful to look at the two individual families of origin, where the roots of these patterns can be discovered. Throughout the journey it is important to highlight and discover the beautiful and joyful characteristics of the relationship as well so that couples therapy can feel easy and pleasant, too.
