Psychotherapy / Coaching
with or without hypnosis
I offer psychotherapy or coaching with or without hypnosis for adults, children and adolescents. I will help you to process and come to terms with unresolved issues in the short term. This way, you can make peace with past unpleasant experiences and old, negative emotions will no longer weigh you down.
I take you by the hand and help you to change any negative belief, behavioural pattern and your perspective on life with the aim of helping you to realign yourself. Then you can change things in your life, the way you want them to be. This includes old burdens, everyday situations, visions of the future and also your spiritual development, if you are open for it.
Psyche: “In psychology, your psyche is your mind and your deepest feelings and attitudes.”
Requirements
for making an appointment with me
- Your willingness to change something in your life and to work on it with my help.
- You are mentally stable enough for an outpatient treatment.
- You are ready to face your feelings as well as experiences or situations in your life.
I work in a solution-oriented way and aim to achieve short and medium-term therapeutic successes. Even if you come to me with many or complex issues, in most cases therapy successes in individual areas are possible in the short or medium term. It goes without saying that everything that everything we talk about is strictly confidential.
Psychotherapy
I always work with depth psychology and for this it is vital that you face your feelings and emotions.
If you are not ready to do this, I am not the right therapist for you. Be reassured that if you are open and ready to take the challenge of facing your emotions and feelings I will support you and guide you throughout the whole process. I will help you and be at your side with each step that you are taking with me in your healing process with all my experience, knowledge, skills, talents and also a good portion of fantasy and humour where needed and where appropriate. Humour can be the wind beneath our wings that helps us to have the courage to jump and land in a better place than before.
Humour can also help us to get through a bumpy ride more easily. So be prepared that my professionality is accompanied with a good sense of humour where appropriate.
I treat all issues that can be treated on an outpatient basis without the need for the prescription of strong psychotropic drugs. You come to me with an issue and describe a symptom or behavioural pattern that is bothering you. For example, if you are anxious, suffer from trauma-related disorders, are overweight, cannot defend yourself, or you do not know how to deal with your grief, etc. Behind all issues are unprocessed feelings that have caused behavioural patterns and/or beliefs
If you want to work on an issue in the long term, there is not much point in just tinkering with your symptoms. The only thing that helps in the long run is to process the unprocessed feelings. Then the symptom becomes useless and your issue disappears. For example, you are overweight because you regularly eat too many sweets. The reason for this, is usually a feeling (loneliness, excessive demands, sadness, etc.) or an experience that you have not processed. If we work on the reason for this feeling, or the unprocessed experience, you will no longer eat sweets regularly (the behavioural pattern = symptom disappears) and as a result you can finally lose weight.
Hypnosis
parts work therapy & inner child healing
To get to the root of an issue and the unprocessed feelings associated with it, I use techniques from hypnotherapy. Most people have forgotten or repressed events, circumstances or feelings, or they have never become aware of certain things. Patients consider some things to be completely unimportant to their issue and simply do not mention them because they do not understand that they are relevant. The preliminary talk is important to give the session a direction and define a goal. However, it is much more important that we first find out what is actually behind your issue after the preliminary talk. We use light hypnosis for this, because you shall be able to remember everything afterwards. Once it is clear what is behind your issue, we can also work on all issues using hypnosis techniques.
I like to use techniques such as working with parts (parts work therapy) and healing the inner child, but also imaginary journeys or depending on the topic, journeys into your past, to name just a few methods. I have also developed processes and techniques that are very effective and bring good results in the short term.

Of course, my therapy always includes elements of conversational therapy and counselling. In an anamnesis we talk about why you are coming to me and set a goal for the treatment. I will help you to understand the context and we will talk about how you felt during the session and between sessions. If necessary or beneficial we may also develop small steps for behavioural therapy or organizational therapy that you can implement at home. Some issues may not be classified as psychotherapy, but fall into the area of coaching. Here too I use hypnosis techniques to help you achieve your goals. So you don’t necessarily have to have experienced terrible things to make an appointment with me. All you need to do is bring along an issue that is bothering you in your life and that you would like to work on sustainably.
