The boundaries between psychotherapy, psychological counseling, and coaching are often fluid in practice. Many methods and communication techniques can be used effectively in different contexts.Put simply, psychotherapy refers to situations where psychological problems persist over a longer period, cause significant distress, or considerably impair daily life, work, or relationships. Coaching, on the other hand, is usually more goal- and solution-oriented and focuses on specific questions, decisions, or personal and professional objectives.Psychological counseling often lies between these two areas. It is individually tailored to the specific situation, flexibly designed, and can include elements of both therapeutic conversations and coaching.That's why I deliberately use the term "psychological counseling" on my website. In the initial consultation and the first few sessions, we'll work together to determine your needs and what form of support is best suited to your situation. The content and focus of our conversations will always be tailored to your individual needs and goals.

Yes. As a licensed psychotherapist (Heilpraktikerin für Psychotherapie), I am authorized to offer psychotherapy under the German Healing Practitioners Act (Heilpraktikergesetz, HPG). Since the lines between counseling, coaching, and therapy are often blurred, I use the term "psychological counseling" on my website. Depending on your needs, our sessions can include counseling, coaching, and psychotherapeutic elements. Sessions are on a self-pay basis.

Basically, anything that's on your mind. You don't need a diagnosis or to know exactly what you want to talk about. Common topics include anxiety, low mood, stress, self-esteem, relationships, life crises, lack of direction, personal development, decision-making, or the desire for change. But it can also simply be about sorting out your thoughts, gaining new perspectives, or talking openly with someone about what's currently on your mind.

My psychological counseling is not suitable for acute suicidality, psychosis, or other serious mental illnesses requiring intensive psychiatric or psychotherapeutic treatment. In these cases, please contact a psychiatric or psychotherapeutic specialist, your treating physician, or the nearest hospital.If you're unsure whether my services are right for your situation, please feel free to contact me. We can discuss in a free initial consultation what kind of support would be most beneficial for you.
