Get experienced and holistic psychological help for acute life crises, depression, anxiety, stress, burnout, loss and grief, anxiety,...

Are you in a life crisis, suffering from anxiety, obsessive thoughts or depression? Have you been through a difficult or traumatic experiences that still bothers you and that you find it difficult to work through on your own? If talking to friends and family isn't enough to bring about the desired changes, you may need to talk to an experienced psychologist. Through conversation, I help you recognize and map your situation and define what exactly you need to work on... Then the actual therapeutic work begins, where I will often, depending on your issue, introduce you to mindfulness-based exercises, guided visualization and hypnosis. Conversation and exercises are often linked in a coherent process. In my experience, especially in cases of stress, trauma, anxiety and depression, the combination of counseling and psychological exercises is very beneficial and provides good progress.

Mindfulness - Visualization - Hypnosis

In my experience, these methods are incredibly effective and powerful when we want to work with difficult emotions and when we need to heal old wounds and traumas. These methods are also very helpful in reducing stress, building new inner resources, developing self-esteem and self-confidence and thus creating strength, change and growth.

Common to all 3 methods is that the conscious mind becomes a more relaxed partner in the change process. When you are in a relaxed state, you can get in touch with yourself, your feelings and needs much more easily and it becomes much easier to integrate new, more positive self-images that can create growth and change from within. You are the center of your life, so to speak, and as your state of consciousness lifts, you will soon notice progress in all areas of your life.

Presence and recognition

If you attend a counseling session with me, the focus throughout is on presence and recognition of who you are, your current life situation and the specific challenges you face. I will help you work specifically and in-depth with the personal issues you are facing. You are at the center of the conversation and my role is to support you in becoming more present and consciously aware of your resources, your life values, your feelings and thoughts so that you can heal old wounds, make new choices, develop new options and live an authentic life in balance with yourself, your relationships and your surroundings. With almost 25 years of experience as a therapist, I have a very broad experience and knowledge of human nature. My approach is holistic, existential, depth psychological and cognitive. My special interest and strength lies in supporting people with anxiety, obsessions, trauma and depression.
