Essence psychotherapy or counseling gives you a safe space in an authentic trauma-informed therapeutic relationship to be present with the feeling of your symptoms and regain inner trust in the wisdom of your body. This compassionate shared self-exploration allows you to be present with your own avoidance and defense patterns and allow the body to transform old traumatic wounds. The more present you explore your symptoms, the more you accept yourself as you are. The goal of psychotherapy cannot be to undo the pain of the past, but rather to resolve its effect on the present.

Unlike coaching, psychotherapeuty does not focus on quick solutions, but rather on restoring a healthy relationship with yourself. Self-compassion and presence are key to sustainable transformion of your symptoms. Our sessions meet you exactly where you are, guiding you towards a deeper awareness of your authentic essence. Through gentle exploration, we aim to help you overcome the barriers that have hindered your ability to fully address your pain, sadness, or trauma.

The safe therapeutic space enables the integration of traumatic experiences. A dysregulated nervous system experiences the world as unsafe and can lead to feelings of fear or numbness, which are often unconscious. This “insensitivity” in turn prevents the felt sense of security and trust – a vicious circle that is only accessible through the wisdom of the body. With the help of your resources, the compassionate presence grows with the painful experiences and opens access to the untouched essence with its qualities such as trust, compassion, joy and inner strength.

Some inner strength and dedication is required for a sustainable transformation. Therefore I recommend to set aside some time just for yourself each day to establish a supportive practice such as self-reflection, inquiry, journaling, meditation or exercise. As trust in yourself grows, your life feels more happy and authentic.

Counseling is a powerful tool for personal growth and healing. However, it is important to note that counseling is not intended for psychiatric diagnosed clients, suicidal clients, or as a replacement for medical treatment.

Couple relationships and parenting are often our greatest challenges and at the same time the greatest potential for inner healing and transformation. Many of our problems arise from early painful relationship experiences and resurface in our current relationships. I know from my own experience how transformative it is to consciously deal with current difficulties in a relationship if both partners open themselves up to it.

My role in couples sessions is impartiality, so I am an ally of both partners and the couple relationship and, contrary to what many couples initially assume, I am not a judge or lawyer. What is crucial for a successful couples session is that both partners feel safe enough to put aside their usual defense mechanisms against the inner pain for a moment. The painful feelings can be expressed through contact with me in order to protect the other partner. When both witness each other’s vulnerability, a deeper connection can develop and both learn how to contribute to a more fulfilling relationship dynamic where love can flow again. Often the goal of couples sessions may not be to heal the painful past, but rather to change the effect of that past on the current relationship. 

Since triggers arise in almost every couple dynamic, it is helpful to practice dealing with them consciously as early as possible. Don´t wait until it is unbearable as chronic and long-term hurts make the path to common connection more difficult. While learning healthy communication patterns is important, it is even better to rediscover the safe and loving connection that was present in the deeply love phase. By delving into this phase together, we can uncover and heal the inner life patterns that have been triggered in each partner. Once both partners can perceive each other’s essence and feel safe and connected in their love, communication will flow naturally.

When a relationship can no longer become a safe and loving connection, couples sessions can help facilitate a mature and responsible separation.

With years of experience helping parents in Berlin regain authentic authority with their children, I understand that often the solution for problems with children is a transformation of the parents themselves. Once parents are back in their natural parental energy the children feel a bond and the family dynamics changes.

This specialized parent coaching is neither a therapy nor a training, but a joint development of practical behavioral changes in specific problem situations. These are practiced with the help of role plays, videos or systemic constellations until the parents feel confident enough to use the new behavior at home. Based on this experience, we refine the new behavior until the parents feel back in their natural parental energy.

A spiritual crisis can have many triggers, such as surprising awakening experiences, sudden life crises, dissatisfaction with one’s own spiritual community or frustration with one’s own practice. What all crises have in common is a deep feeling of loneliness or abandonment. After several years in a spiritual community with a teacher, I know many of these aspects and accompany you compassionately and presently on your way through the spiritual crisis. In every authentic search for freedom or awakening there comes a time of shattering disappointment, often combined with the feeling of losing the ground beneath your feet. This is a particularly valuable moment for true spiritual transformation when you become aware of the connection between spiritual practice or community and the repression of inner suffering or trauma (spiritual bypassing). The longed-for awakening can then be experienced as your authentic being and I can help you navigate through this.

With my extensive personal experience on the spiritual path and years living in an ashram with a teacher, I deeply understand the unique challenges that come with this journey. I offer you a safe and empathetic space specially designed for individuals on a spiritual path or in a spiritual community. Healing trauma is sometimes essential for you to truly benefit from your spiritual practice, and I can guide you through that transformative process.

Often the first step is to start trusting your instincts again and allow a safe space of compassionate support on your spiritual journey towards authenticity.

In spiritual crises, a few counseling sessions are usually sufficient.

As a systemic Supervisor, I offer my neutral perspective to assist therapists, pedagogues and teams in navigating challenging situations within their work. Systemic supervision is therefore not a training course but a safe framework for self-reflection and becoming aware of entanglements in the work context that conceal existing resources. Trust in one´s professional skills is restored through different perspectives on the difficulties, which can lead to quick solutions. Particularly during difficult team dynamics, a neutral supervisor can provide valuable support in exploring the underlying causes of difficulties and finding effective solutions.

Systemic supervision offers a unique approach to professional development and growth. By focusing on the interconnected relationships and dynamics within a therapeutic setting or team, this form of supervision helps gain a deeper understanding of the complex systems at play in their work. Through reflective discussions and role changes, dynamic case studies, systemic embodiment tools and collaborative problem-solving, professionals can enhance their skills, gain new perspectives, and improve their effectiveness in supporting clients. Systemic supervision encourages to consider the broader context in which support takes place, leading to more holistic and impactful interventions. It provides a supportive space to explore own biases, assumptions, and blind spots, ultimately leading to more culturally sensitive and effective practices.

I have many years of experience especially in the field of youth welfare.

After a trial session, five to ten follow-up appointments are usually arranged.
