Counseling


Counseling is for everybody who has something to tell about their life, relationship, work or studies. When you feel that nobody really listens to you or you cannot trust someone then professional help can give relief. In my praxis I use positive psychology and cognitive techniques to support my clients. Classic psychological counseling is conversational in style, and is a collaborative process, whereby the client and I develop a clear picture of his/her world, relationships and feelings.

You are in charge of your life and I can help to navigate through tough times. I am offering a safe, unconditionally accepting and supportive environment for you to learn how to thrive.

I am specialized in High Sensitivity Persons (HSPs) and a large part of my clients are students and expat workers. However, my work is not limited to these groups, I accept clients from all corners of society.
My experience is that the safe and empathetic environment of online counseling can well accommodate High Sensitivity Persons (HSPs) and help them to flourish.

It is important for me to provide access to people who normally cannot afford to see a psychologist.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Is counseling confidential?
    Shortly: YES. The confidentiality of psychologists not only a professional requirement, but regulated by patient protection laws. The things you say must stay between us. In exceptional cases I might be required by law to report or testify. Self-threatening situations, harm to vulnerable people (children) or legal obligations are the only exceptions.
  • How long is the waiting list for counseling?
    The average waiting time for a first consultation is less than 4 working days. During this online session we map out your initial issues and needs. We can decide how to proceed and schedule our first counseling session.
  • How can I cancel an appointment for a session?
    You can cancel a session 24 hours in advance via email, after that the full fee of the session will be charged, as it is agreed in the counseling contract. Unforeseeable emergencies will be taken into account.
