Team

In addition to classic behavioral therapeutic methods, I integrate approaches from schema therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy as well as emotion-focused techniques. This variety of methods makes it possible to respond to your individual needs and establish a deeper connection to your inner processes.

Together we can work to help you lead a more fulfilling and authentic life.

In addition to classic behavioral therapy techniques, I also like to use methods from acceptance and commitment therapy, hypnotherapy and emotion-focused therapy. I support them in finding and rebuilding their own resources and needs, as well as being able to establish a deeper connection to their inner processes. Together we can find a way for my clients to achieve new and sustainable behavioral patterns and establish them in their lives.

Coaching should provide a safe space in which you can work together to become aware of these inner conflicts, listen to your needs and communicate them to the outside world in a way that achieves your goals. It is important to question individual thought patterns and adopt different perspectives.

For me, this is a joint development process. My aim is to empower people to become more aware of their own abilities and to discover and try out new scope for action. Instead of focusing on deficits, I focus on existing resources and potential. For me, an appreciative, respectful attitude forms the basis for facilitating change and promoting sustainable personal development.

I also provided psychological counseling to rehabilitants in the psychological service of the Vialife orthopedic rehabilitation clinic.

I believe in the power of self-determination and support my clients in discovering their own strengths and promoting their self-efficacy.

My focus is on resource-oriented work that identifies and develops existing potential. It is essential for me to treat my clients with openness, appreciation and respect and to find a path to inner growth and sustainable change together.
