individual counseling

In a world that is constantly changing, it is sometimes difficult to feel up to all the challenges and sometimes we feel overwhelmed by life. Whether you are in a life crisis, suffering from stress and anxiety, or simply having the desire to develop personally, I will accompany you individually on your path. My focus is on the following topics:

Depressive mood Approximately every sixth to fifth person in Germany suffers from depression in their lifetime (RKI). Many people are familiar with depressive moods, a "hole" or a grey veil over their life. It doesn't feel nice and can also be a burden for those around you. I want to help you find your joy in life again and improve your quality of life. To do this, we will look at how the collapse in your mood came about, what plays a role in it and how I can show you the way out of the dark tunnel.

Life crises and reorientation Crises occur again and again in the course of life and often lead to difficulties in thinking, feeling or acting. The crises can look very different - from separations, a lack of prospects, job loss, reorientation due to changed life circumstances and much more. Often important decisions have to be made or support in the life situation is required. I support you in untangling the difficulties, bringing in logic and problem solutions, give you the impetus for a new perspective and accompany you through this difficult time in your life.

Interpersonal conflicts Do you keep encountering the same conflicts at work or in your private life? You can't explain how the same behavioral patterns keep coming up? Perhaps you also have difficulty saying "no," which often leads to dissatisfaction? I can advise you on conflict resolution strategies and help you to set healthy boundaries.

Childhood and family Our childhood can shape us in adult life and we always fall into a certain "role". Sometimes you might want to live your family life differently, but the consolidation of certain behavioral patterns or beliefs makes change almost impossible. I will look specifically at your childhood and how it still influences you today. Family and family conflicts are also in the foreground.

Relationship and separation Are you having difficulties in your relationship, or do you want to work on something individually? Or are you going through a difficult separation and don't really know how to cope with everything that comes with it? I will support you and concentrate on the emotional and psychological challenges that are associated with relationship experiences and separations. Emotional processing, rediscovering yourself, relationship patterns and communication, as well as developing a future-oriented perspective all play a role.

Life satisfaction Are you interested in increasing your general life satisfaction? Or do you want to work preventively on your mental health? I will work with you to develop your individual resources for a happier attitude to life and the restoration of balance in your life.

ADHD Due to my long experience in the ADHD outpatient clinic, I accompany and advise people who, in adulthood, have difficulties in organizing their lives due to ADHD/ADD. Various topics can play a role in the consultation: the path to or dealing with a diagnosis, help with structuring the day or future, self-organization, self-esteem and internalized beliefs, stabilizing mood or dealing with high sensitivity, emotion and impulse regulation. I see AD(H)D as a spectrum, whereby the symptoms can manifest themselves very individually. You do not necessarily have to come with a diagnosis, because the symptoms are dealt with in the consultation - regardless of whether the symptom complex is named. You can also benefit from consultation as a relative of a child or an adult.

Stress management It is now widely known that stress is not good. Chronic stress can have a variety of negative effects on health and many studies also show the connection between stress and the immune system (Segerstrom & Miller, 2004), cardiovascular diseases (Kivimäki et al., 2012), mental health (Breiter et al., 2015), gastrointestinal problems (Fond et al., 2014) and sleep problems (Hall et al., 2000). For this reason, it is important to reduce stress - whether at work or in your private life. I will work with you to develop individual stress management strategies that you can apply to your life situation in order to reduce the stress in your life as much as possible.

Anxiety Alongside depressive disorders, anxiety disorders are one of the most common psychological impairments. This can look very different - from a specific phobia to general fears, difficulties in social situations, or panic attacks. I would like to help you get your fears under control so that you can do activities that you used to enjoy again. To do this, I will work with you to develop an individual model for the development and maintenance of fears, give you exercises and techniques for regulating anxiety symptoms.

couple and parent counseling

In couples therapy, I work with you to better understand the dynamics of your relationship and to find ways to get closer to each other again. Every relationship is unique and I support you in overcoming your individual challenges. Difficulties in raising children or as parents can also be very stressful. Counseling can help you get closer again, resolve recurring conflicts, or even see which path you want to take as a couple. The following topics in particular often come to the fore:

Alienation When partners become emotionally alienated from each other, this can lead to feelings of loneliness or loss of love. We work to restore the emotional connection and strengthen the feeling of closeness to each other.

Trust difficulties Trust is the foundation of a relationship. If this is shaken, further problems often arise in the relationship. I would like to help you, step by step, to restore trust to the relationship and strengthen security.

Recurring conflicts The same arguments keep cropping up and you want to break through these conflicts. Together with my help, we analyze the underlying patterns and develop conflict resolution strategies for a more harmonious coexistence.

Clarification Some couples are at a point where they don't know what their future path will be. Couples therapy can help them gain clarity about their relationship and make a decision, which could be to stay together or to separate.

Changes in life circumstances Life changes such as losing a job, having a child or moving to another city can cause stress in a relationship. I would like to support you in dealing with these changes together.

Family life and parenthood Children can repeatedly present parents with enormous challenges that they are sometimes unable to cope with. This can lead to despair and helplessness and can also affect the relationship. I can advise you on difficulties in raising children and give you a few helpful tips to take with you. Often it is the parents that have to change in order to achieve changes at the children's level.
