Do you feel stuck?

You probably know what you should do - but something is holding you back.

Perhaps you want things to change, while another part isn´t so sure. Or maybe you´re just figuring out what you reallly want.

That´s where I can help.

Psychological support that goes further

As a qualified psychologist with 15 years' experience, I work with Motivational Interviewing (MI) — a scientifically grounded conversational approach that helps people gain clarity and move towards their goals in a way that feels right for them.

It’s not about me telling you what to do. We’ll explore together what matters to you, what’s holding you back and what next step feels right for you.

Du kommst einfach nicht weiter

Perhaps your thoughts have been circling around the same questions for weeks or months.
You feel that something needs to change – and at the same time, you find it hard to take the first step.
That's completely normal..

Especially Motivational Interviewingcan help you make sense of what´s going on and explore what you´d like to do next..

You don't need to know the solution yet

You might be familiar with thoughts like:

„Actually, I know what I should do.“
„Why can't I manage it anyway?“
„A part of me wants to change something – another part doesn't.“
„I just want clarity again.“

That is precisely where our collaboration comes in.

The path you choose, at your own pace, is the best way.

Psychological support for you

As a psychologist, I can help you figure out where you currently stand, what is needed right now and how things can proceed. I will help you put everything into perspective and provide you with psychological background knowledge, not just on mental illness, but on personal development and achieving your goals.

Your well-being and a harmonious working relationship are the priority. You can ask interim questions by email and have unscheduled phone calls with me – even at the weekend, in the evenings or on holiday.

Motivational Interviewing It means that we always keep an eye on how you’re feeling and whether this path feels right for you. You´ll be heard and taken seriously- every step of the way.

Substance use
When people consume substances, whether it’s alcohol, cannabis or other harmful sunstances, they are often turned away by therapists. „You need to do inpatient withdrawal first.“

Even if you feel that this is not the main problem right now, or simply do not feel capable of going to a clinic, you are left in the lurch.

Motivational Interviewing is the best way to help you figure out what your next steps are and really work on the core of the issue. In a way that feels right and makes sense to you. You are allowed to be honest and really talk about consumption without fear of being sent away. It is all about you and everything is allowed to „come out“.

General consumption

Cannabis

Counselling for relatives
You experience this shock: she/he is behaving extremely odd: „Something is definitely not right here!“ Relatives are often left completely alone and do not know who to turn to.

As a psychologist, I have 15 years of experience with a wide range of disorders. One thing is clear: you have many options for action once you know what the disorder is and receive well-founded information.

I possess particularly comprehensive knowledge in the following subject areas: Psychosis, Personality disorders and Addictions. I can support you in dealing with the situation in the best possible way.
