People seek psychotherapy for many different reasons. Some are experiencing an acute crisis, while others have struggled for years with recurring difficulties or a persistent sense that something in their life is not right.
Psychoanalysis offers a protected space in which to understand these experiences in their wider context.
Which setting is right for your situation?
My practice is primarily intended for individuals experiencing mental health conditions associated with significant psychological distress. During an initial consultation, we can explore together whether psychotherapy or coaching is the most appropriate form of support for your particular situation.

I studied business administration and psychology and am a state-licensed psychological psychotherapist in Germany. Today, I treat predominantly mental health disorders through psychotherapy. Based on my professional experience in business many years ago, I can also offer coaching for currently employed executives (not career counselling).

Psychoanalysis between the inner world and the world of work
A particular focus of my research is how psychoanalytic concepts can help us understand conflicts, structural constraints, burnout and organisational defence processes. Together with colleagues, I have published numerous contributions at the intersection of inner psychological life and the world of work.

The initial consultation provides an opportunity to understand together what has brought you to me. We will discuss your current difficulties, your symptoms and the questions that have led you to seek psychotherapeutic help. At the same time, I will begin a careful diagnostic assessment to gain an initial understanding of your situation, determine whether psychotherapy is indicated and consider which therapeutic approach is likely to be most helpful in your case.
The personal encounter is equally important. Psychotherapy is based on trust. The first consultation gives you an opportunity to experience what it feels like to speak with me and whether you can imagine us taking this therapeutic path together. At the same time, I can assess whether I am the right person to support you through this process.
Not every initial consultation leads to treatment. Sometimes another form of therapy, another therapist or a different approach may be more suitable. My aim is to help you find the treatment that best fits your individual situation.
