Short Term Therapy and Crisis Intervention

Not every psychological difficulty requires long-term treatment. At times, people may find themselves overwhelmed by a separation, bereavement, difficulties at work, physical illness, or other challenging life events.

In such situations, short-term psychotherapy can provide valuable support in understanding the current difficulties, developing new perspectives, and reconnecting with personal strengths and resources.

Short-term psychotherapy usually involves one session per week over a limited period of time. Together, we explore the factors contributing to your current distress and consider what changes may be helpful. In Germany, short-term treatment is typically preceded by an initial assessment phase and may comprise up to 24 sessions.

​

Crisis intervention can also help determine whether further psychotherapy would be beneficial and which therapeutic approach may be best suited to your individual circumstances.

Common reasons for seeking support include:

• Adjustment difficulties following significant life events

• Depression and emotional exhaustion

• Anxiety, panic attacks, phobias and persistent uncertainty

• Psychosomatic symptoms and stress-related physical complaints

• Separation, relationship difficulties and attachment issues

• Personality-related difficulties

• Burnout and excessive stress

All consultations take place within a confidential, respectful and professionally protected setting.
