Modern therapeutic practices and a pleasant therapy atmosphere

The quality of life can be severely impaired by mental health problems - such as anxiety, depression or compulsions. In addition to personal suffering, there are often impairments in the social and professional environment.

​

My goal is to reduce your suffering and discomfort, to strengthen your resources and to motivate you to tackle your problems. For this I create a pleasant therapy climate for you and use modern therapeutic practices. 

I offer you psychological support and advice on:​

  • Mood disorders (eg, depression, bipolar disorder)

  • Anxiety disorders (e.g. panic attacks, specific phobias, social anxiety, agoraphobia)

  • Burnout syndrome

  • Chronic pain

  • Stress, exhaustion, stress at work

  • Obsessive compulsive disorders

  • Sleep disorders

  • Personality disorders

  • Addiction (e.g. gambling or internet addiction, prevention of relapse in alcohol addiction)

  • Crises after stressful life events (eg after a separation, in meaning or life crises or in the context of coping with grief)

  • Conflicts in couples

  • Reactions to heavy loads

A holistic approach

Through my training in clinical psychology at the University of Marburg, I got to know many different behavioral therapy intervention. I also use these approaches together with my clients. 

​

In addition, I use the large repertoire of other psychotherapeutic schools and currents, such as ACT, Systemic Therapy or Solution Focused Brief Therapy. I also work with a holistic approach, which, in addition to psychological interventions, also includes the topics of sport, sleep, nutrition, breathing, meditation and spirituality.

How do the sessions go with me? Example: Anxiety disorders

Anxiety disorders include panic disorders, generalized anxiety disorder, agoraphobia, social phobias or specific phobias (e.g. fear of flying, spider phobia, blood and syringe phobias). Here I have described a rough procedure of a psychological consultation regarding anxiety disorders:

  • Getting to know each other

  • Diagnostics

  • Biographical work and cause research

  • Psychoeducation 

  • Development of interventions, for example:

    • Planning of exposures

    • Cognitive restructuring or reframing

    • Learning skills, e.g. relaxation techniques, Breathwork

  • Building up resources

  • Relapse prevention

  • Final diagnosis
