Systemic Counseling and Therapy

 

My approach is based on Systemic Therapy principles. This means that you reveal your solutions yourself, because I believe the solution lies within you. Systemic Counseling and Therapy is a resource-and-solution-oriented process. I observe you in your fullness as an individual person, but also take the social environment into account. This gives a wider view of the relationships between all those involved and new possibilities for changing perspectives.

Trauma sensitivity is central to my work. LGBTIANQ* and BIPoC are explicitly welcome.

 

Individual Counseling

The story of your life is precious. Your story belongs to you and you can not discard it. But you can create a narrative that honors the highs, lows, as well as the in-betweens of your story. Every story deserves loving attention in all chapters.

With my guidance, you have an opportunity as The Protagonist, to move within the foggy territory in your story and untangle tangles of thought. If you wish, you can find a new direction or new impulse for action with yourself. By facing the challenges that you bring to me, you strengthen contact with yourself and can increase your compassion towards all versions of yourself. This creates opportunities to break through patterns passed down from your family of origin and expand pathways for a new generation. This is how you can craft a new edition of your life story.

My areas of focus include:

  • Processing transgressive events

  • Naming and paying attention to your needs while dealing with feelings in a functional way

  • Learning to set boundaries as well as allowing new ones

  • Strengthening the relationship and connection with you and your environments

  • Coping with anxiety

  • Reducing stress and finding peace

  • Relationships with your family of origin - understanding patterns and dynamics

  • Grief

  • Short-term states of overwhelm

  • Processes for decision making

  • Questions about authentic identity (LGBTIQ* are explicitly welcome)

 
 

Couple and Family Counseling

When a shared story grows from multiple life stories, it can become especially multifaceted and vibrant. Sometimes the special connection that once existed falters and needs a new vantage point. Relationships are complex, but with my assistance, a couple can have the courage to face their own patterns.

Through the support offered, there is the chance to get a new perspective on your situation and to (re)activate resources, whereby a separation can be considered a new path. Even if your life circumstances change, or there have been drastic experiences in your couple constellation or family, you have found the right place with me.

 

My areas of focus include:

  • Intercultural relaionships

  • Trauma and relationship

  • (unfulfilled) desire for children, also as a topic for heterosexual couples

  • Ways into manegable communication
