WELCOME
„The doors to the world of the wild Self are few but precious. If you have a deep scar, that is a door, if you have an old, old story, that is a door. If you love the sky and the ocean so much you almost cannot bear it, that is a door. If you yearn for a deeper life, a full life, a sane life, that is a door.“ – Clarissa Pinkola Estés
I believe instead of allowing chaos and conflicts wearing us down, these moments reveal themselves as opportunities to reach out, show transparency and grow into an even deeper and more honest connection with ourselves and our surroundings. I also believe and experienced it countless times that compassionate listening by a trained professional in a respectful, non-judgemental space always helps. But it is also about different conversations, new information, positive surprises and most of all: Love – making new experiences. This shift of experience, mind and heart will counteract on the at times paralyzing momentum of destruction and hopelessness. A caring and integrative approach against the often experienced tendency to numb out physically, melt down emotionally or while simply feeling unsure about what´s going on in your life.
Reviving a fertile, loving ground for an open and compassionate inner and outer dialogue as well as encouraging you to feel and to look from a different perspective is a fundamental step in rediscovering your inherent peace. Through reconnecting with yourself, your deep inner wisdom, your environment and more and more tuning into the present moment, it becomes easier to consistently embrace your true needs and build on your unique abilities. Within our work you will be guided to take the necessary steps for your healing – to not only soothe but enrich your life and your science of Love and Gratefulness.
I am honoured to support you along the way. You are welcome.
COUNSELING – COACHING – THERAPY
for INDIVIDUALS, COUPLES AND FAMILIES
„Vulnerability is a portal to aliveness. When we are willing to be with it and respond with love, we open a space where the light of our Being can shine through.“ – Unknown.
The core of my work is my dedication to create a safe space for people to feel safe to feel. With my heart wide open and deep respect I guide people from various backgrounds through specific phases of life, who want to understand and effectively change inherent dysfunctional patterns of thought, emotion and behaviour that burden health, emotional satisfaction and interpersonal relationships. My approach is integrative, drawing primarily from systemic therapy and family constellation and solution-focused therapy.
My way of working is a creative blend of precise skills from my various backgrounds and overall experience, my respectful sense of humor, sensitive straightforwardness, my compassionate inquiry and love, that encourages my clients to reflect and feel safe to feel – equipped with more understanding, compassion and love towards themselves and others. I am inviting people of any background – supporting them to find greater consciousness, love and gratefulness and overall joy for their lives.
The sessions are offered in German or English.
INDIVIDUAL COUNSELING
Counseling is a process of healing – a confidential space where you get the opportunity to uncover various layers of a problem in the presence of a non-judgmental and qualified professional. I work collaboratively with my clients to help them gain clarity and identify potential solutions to their problems. If you have been feeling stuck, overwhelmed or even uncertain. I am here to support you in finding your way out of the confusion. I can support you in coping with a crisis, adjusting to change and learning to manage difficult feelings and behaviours.
INDIVIDUAL COACHING
Personal coaching aims to help clients clearly define and achieve personal goals. People, who are facing important life decisions or are in the middle of challenging transitions oftentimes benefit from coaching, providing professional review, stimulation and encouragement. Coaching is designed to improve existing skills, competence and performance enhancing personal effectiveness or growth. Coaching offers support in daily life and provides coping strategies in crisis situations.
INDIVIDUAL THERAPY
No two people are alike – each person requires an individualized approach in order to heal and grow. Therapy helps clients get to the root of their difficulties and gain relief from unpleasant feelings and thoughts, create more fulfilling and meaningful relationships, and gain more pleasure and control in their lives. My approach is to work with my clients on their problems in the context of their life situation and personal history. This integrative approach is often the best way for a manageable and long-lasting solution.
SYSTEMIC COUPLES COUNSELLING
A healthy relationship makes us feel joyful. Happiness in these constellations is a question of choice. As such, each individual has the power to contribute to a cycle of healing and nurture closeness or a cycle of hurt, emotional and physical fatigue and a sensation of strong disconnect. In systemic couples counselling we are reviving a common ground for an open and respectful dialogue where you meet each other from the heartspace. Also we are enabling you to understand your counterpart is a crucial step in rediscovering the bond that keeps you together and establishing a healthy and most of all authentic way to mastering the process.
SYSTEMIC FAMILY COUNSELLING
Systemic family counselling nurtures integration and development, by paying particular attention to the interactions between the members of the family.
The sessions take place with the individuals of the particular family system with the inherent goal to improve communication, develop new patterns of interaction, to activate internal resources, enhancing the relationships within the family and establishing healthy ways of resolving conflicts and staying in the field of Love.
