Radical acceptance

The basis of my work is radical acceptance:everything is initially allowed to be as it is. Everything inside you – be it pain, doubt or joy – is welcome. On this basis, change is easier, because then we don’t go against what is there, but start to understand it and deal with it.

It can be about letting go of unhelpful or stressful patterns, integrating painful memories or finding a better way of dealing with feelings. It may also be about deepening access to your intuition or finding concrete solutions to conflicts and crises.

Thanks to my many years of experience on a renowned crisis ward, my in-depth therapeutic training and my deep roots in mindfulness practice, I am able to respond flexibly and holistically to your concerns and wishes. My work is mainly emotion-focused, but I never get too close to you. Healing needs space and the experience of self-efficacy.

Acceptance

My work is based on the principles of mindfulness.. The aim is to consciously perceive thoughts, feelings and bodily sensations and to face them with clarity and acceptance.

On this basis, we can then work together to find out which approach works best for you: With the IFS method is about understanding and integrating the different, often contradictory parts of ourselves. In focusing, the focus is on a body-oriented approach to intuition or gut feeling. In focusing, the focus is on a body-oriented approach to intuition or gut feeling.

I also like to supplement this with cognitive approaches, which involve analyzing and letting go of beliefs. Together we can work out your beliefs, examine their truthfulness and, if necessary, replace them with more helpful views.

Sometimes it can also make sense to pursue pragmatic, systemic solutions. In such cases, the focus is not on dealing with “old stories”, but on looking clearly to the future. We look at the current life situation and develop new visions or concrete steps together.

I offer you a protected space of mindfulness in which real change becomes possible!

Who is my offer suitable for?

I support people in transitional phases, emotional stress, decision-making conflicts, crisis situations, anxiety disorders, depression or the desire for personal development.

If you are interested, I look forward to hearing from you!

For self-payers only

Unfortunately, health insurance companies do not cover my costs, so you will have to pay them yourself. However, you can be sure that your treatment will remain absolutely confidential and that there will be no contact whatsoever with the electronic patient file or the health insurance company. Secrets are safe with me as long as there is no acute danger to yourself or others!

You are also welcome to make an appointment for a preliminary consultation (at half the normal rate), during which we can get to know each other and discuss your concerns.

The sessions take place at the Aquariana therapy center in Kreuzberg (Am Tempelhofer Berg 7d). Appointments are also possible via video (Zoom), and in individual cases – depending on the situation and place of residence – outreach treatment can also be arranged.
