Counselling – Therapy:

your Path to understanding & Growth

“The Pains You Feel Are Messengers. Listen To Them.”

We Carry Inside Us The Wonders We Seek Outside.”

– Rumi –

You might be experiencing a difficult time, seeking to understand the struggles you experience in life, the root cause of addiction, anxiety, depression and trauma; you might want to change particular behaviours or improve your communication – in any case, it’s about exploring yourself and how you relate to others.

I offer a broad range of services to meet the different needs of my clients. Specialising in individual and couples-counselling. In person, as well as online and on the phone. In English, Spanish and German. Offering workshops too.

From struggles to strength: Don’t hesitate to embark on a journey of self-discovery to gain insights and increase your self-awareness and compassion.

Our Services

Individual Counselling

Counselling offers numerous benefits: you find yourself in a safe space to express your thoughts and emotions and improve your mental and emotional health by gaining insights into your behavioural patterns, your way of communication and much more: how to manage stress and anxiety, address trauma, depression, struggles and worries. Step by step you learn to work through challenges creating lasting change. My approach is ‘person centered’ which means that I see you as the expert of your own life, while supporting the counselling process of self-exploration with different modalities.

Couple-Therapy

Couple counselling allows us to focus on improving and resolving issues within relationships. It’s a safe space for you to explore and address any conflicts, communication difficulties and challenges you might be facing. Our goal is to foster understanding (when you intend to stay together or separate), enhance your communication skills, and strengthen the emotional bond between partners. This process can help you – as a couple – navigate a wide range of issues, ultimately working towards a healthier, more fulfilling connection and relationship.

Massage for Emotional Release – Healing Trauma through Touch

Massage in the form of gentle touch can play a significant role in releasing trauma from the nervous system and therefore be a helpful component of a broader approach to emotional healing after trauma. Gentle touch stimulates the parasympathetic nervous system, which is responsible for the body’s ‘rest and digest’ response promoting deep relaxation by releasing physical tension and the emotional energy held in the body. In a secure and comfortable space you will also gain self-awareness by exploring body sensations related to suppressed memories.

The Enneagram: A tool for Self-discovery

The Enneagram is a personality system that describes nine distinct personality types, each with its own set of characteristics, motivations and patterns of behavior. It can be used not only to explore our personality but also specific ‘ego-fixations’ – the way each type views reality through unique ‘distortions’ created by our unconscious mind. It is a wonderful tool that allows for a radical change of perspective – we’ll gain insights into what drives us to express in healthy or rather unaligned ways.

Offered as group workshop.
