My offer

A new path

In challenging phases of life, it can be a relief to find support.

In my practice, I support adults, children, adolescents, and couples in a calm, safe, and appreciative therapeutic setting.

My work is characterized by clarity, empathy, and an attentive attitude. The focus is on you, your concerns, your history, and your individual resources.

I am happy to accompany you in German, English, and French.

  • My psychotherapy services are aimed at people who are suffering from emotional stress or are going through a difficult phase in their lives. Based on various therapeutic methods and intervention techniques, we will work together to select those that are best suited to the issues you bring to the table, your personality, and your associated needs and expectations, and we will embark on a joint process of change.

    I can help you with stress and exhaustion, anxiety, depression, psychosomatic complaints, relationship and conflict issues, as well as life crises or periods of reorientation.

  • In business coaching, I offer you a structured, confidential framework for reflecting on your professional role, the challenges that arise from it, and your options for action. I accompany you in developing solution strategies that are tailored to your personality, professional role, and work environment, and in implementing them appropriately in your everyday working life.

    Possible goals include strengthening leadership skills and decision-making abilities, dealing confidently with conflicts and change, developing a clear professional positioning, and achieving and maintaining balance, health, and job satisfaction.

  • With life coaching, I help you gain clarity and direction in your private life when it comes to making decisions or going through change processes.  

    We reflect on your current situation in a structured manner, identify internal blockages and obstructive patterns, and develop coherent, realistic solutions.

    This strengthens self-efficacy and self-confidence. New perspectives open up, and you can make even more conscious and sustainable decisions for your life.

  • Children and adolescents sometimes lose their inner balance. Anxiety, withdrawal, sadness, outbursts of anger, or physical complaints can be signs that stress has become too much.

    In my practice, children and adolescents find a safe, supportive space where they can be themselves. Together, we gently examine what is causing them distress and develop new ways of dealing with difficult feelings and challenges.

    As part of the initial consultation, we agree on the goals of the therapy and the therapeutic approach. The ideas and needs of the child or adolescent are given top priority. An important factor determining the success of the therapy is the young client's willingness to engage in the therapeutic process. During the joint therapy sessions, I make specific suggestions regarding certain exercises and intervention methods, which are voluntary and can therefore be accepted but do not have to be. Any personal information shared with me is, of course, subject to confidentiality and is therefore in safe hands with me.

    Among other things, I provide support for anxiety, depressive moods, school-related stress, challenges associated with ADD/ADHD, psychosomatic complaints, and developmental and adjustment difficulties.

  • Parenting is fulfilling and challenging at the same time. When worries, uncertainty, or recurring conflicts dominate everyday life, parenting coaching can help you regain clarity and inner confidence.

    In parent coaching, I support you in better understanding your child, reflecting on your own reaction patterns, and developing new, appropriate ways of responding.

    Parental coaching can take place independently of therapy for the child or adolescent, or as a supplement to it—individually, as a couple, or in a family context.

  • Couples counseling offers couples a safe space to reflect on their relationship and develop new perspectives. Many couples seek support when they feel stuck, conflicts are increasing, or they have lost their sense of closeness and connection. Counseling is about re-establishing communication, building understanding, and finding common ground.

    Improving communication: misunderstandings arise in many relationships, even though both partners basically want to be heard and understood. In couples counseling, we practice helpful ways of listening and speaking so that conversations can once again be conducted in a respectful and constructive manner.

    Strengthen emotional closeness: Feelings such as hurt, withdrawal, anger, or disappointment can strain a relationship. Couples counseling provides space for these emotions to be addressed so that trust, security, and connection can grow again.

    Understanding and resolving conflicts: Conflicts are part of every relationship. Certain patterns often repeat themselves. Together, we identify these dynamics and develop new ways of interacting with each other that are less hurtful and prevent escalations.

    Organizing everyday life and shared tasks: Many stresses arise not from "big issues" but from everyday life: different needs, division of roles, lack of time, or stress. We develop new agreements that are fair to both parties.

    Addressing intimacy and sexuality: Physical and emotional intimacy can also change over the course of a relationship. Desires, boundaries, longings, and insecurities can be openly discussed in my practice so that closeness becomes possible again.

    Processing traumatic experiences: Some couples bring with them events or hurts that weigh heavily on them—such as breaches of trust, affairs, or old grievances. In the safe space of my practice, we work through such issues together.

    Clarifying the future and decisions: Sometimes a decision needs to be made: What happens next? What options are there? I support you in gaining clarity—regardless of whether the relationship is continued, changed, or respectfully ended.

  • Separation counseling supports individuals and couples in coping with an impending or already completed separation emotionally, communicatively, and organizationally. The goal is to shape the separation process in such a way that as little hurt, escalation, or long-term stress as possible arises.

    The focus is on the question of how, despite separation, respectful interaction, constructive communication, and a sustainable future can be achieved.

    Together, we first examine whether a separation is inevitable or whether there are possibilities for continuing the relationship. If separation is inevitable, we work out a clear, dignified, and responsible farewell and transition plan. Promoting respectful and appreciative communication is just as important a component of this as providing support in dealing with emotions such as grief, anger, guilt, or disappointment. With the help of appropriate methods of nonviolent communication, we also focus on reducing conflict and escalation.

     

    Separation counseling with a focus on the well-being of the children

    When couples are parents, a separation affects not only the relationship, but always the children as well.

    Children often experience separations with uncertainty, conflicts of loyalty, or fears.

    Parents play a central role in how well children cope with this phase.

    Together, we develop strategies for talking to your children about the separation in an age-appropriate manner, taking their feelings seriously, and providing them with emotional support.

    Developing fair agreements on organizational processes and responsibilities, such as childcare and contact arrangements, can also be part of separation counseling for parents.

    The aim is to support parents in remaining reliable caregivers even after a separation and to keep conflicts out of the parenting sphere.
