Your Practice for Mental Health

When emotional difficulties begin to affect everyday life, professional support can help.

Perhaps you feel exhausted, anxious or overwhelmed and have the sense that you have somehow lost sight of yourself along the way.

You may be going through a difficult period following a separation or loss, struggling with stress at work, or feeling caught between other people's expectations and your own needs.

Perhaps you are experiencing anxiety, panic attacks, periods of depression, sleep difficulties or the feeling that you constantly have to keep going without ever really being able to switch off.

Or perhaps everything looks fine from the outside – but inside, something simply doesn't feel right anymore.

You don't have to wait until things feel “bad enough” to seek support.

As a Psychologist (M.Sc.), Systemic Social Therapist and Heilpraktikerin für Psychotherapie (licensed in Germany to practise psychotherapy under the Heilpraktikergesetz), I support people experiencing emotional and psychological difficulties, personal crises and challenging periods in their lives.

In my practice, I offer systemically oriented psychotherapy for adults as well as systemic work with couples and families.

Systemic Therapy – Seeing the Whole Person

Systemic therapy looks beyond individual symptoms. We consider you as a whole person – including your personal history, relationships, experiences and current circumstances.

Together, we explore what is troubling you, which patterns may be playing a role and what changes may be possible.

Rather than focusing solely on difficulties, we also look at your strengths, abilities and resources.

The person comes first – not the diagnosis.

How I Can Support You

Therapeutic support may be helpful for:

• anxiety and panic
• low mood and depression
• exhaustion, stress and feeling overwhelmed
• inner restlessness and sleep difficulties
• low self-esteem and self-doubt
• ADD/ADHD in adults
• grief and loss
• personal crises and difficult life events
• recurring difficulties in relationships
• conflicts within couples and families
• separation and starting over
• transitions and changes at different stages of life

You don't need to know beforehand how what you are experiencing might be diagnosed or defined.

Let's Get to Know Each Other

Taking the first step towards therapy can feel uncertain. You may not yet know exactly how to describe what is troubling you. You may wonder whether your difficulties are “serious enough” for therapy or whether I am the right therapist for you.

You don't need to know any of that before our first conversation.

That is why I offer a free, no-obligation initial consultation.

This gives you the opportunity to talk about what is currently troubling you in a calm and confidential setting. It also gives you a chance to get to know me and the way I work.

Together, we can consider whether my therapeutic approach is suitable for your needs and, just as importantly, whether you feel comfortable working with me. Because alongside the therapeutic approach itself, one thing matters enormously: the therapeutic relationship needs to feel right for you.

There is no obligation to continue after our first conversation. You can take your time afterwards and decide whether you would like to arrange another appointment.

Therapy is available at my practice in Heidmoor, Schleswig-Holstein, and, where appropriate for your individual needs, online.

Sessions are available in English and German.
