I am a psychological counselor and lecturer with extensive experience in clinical, advisory, and educational work. My focus is on providing psychological support to people going through change processes. In my counseling work, I draw on cognitive and behavioral, mindfulness-based, and body-oriented approaches.
Through my work as a psychologist and coach with adults, in child and youth services, in clinical internships, and as the director of a school for body and mind training, I combine sound psychological theory with practical experience in counseling, coaching, and training.
I support clients in becoming more aware of their own resources, understanding and making sense of emotional stress, and exploring possible perspectives and next steps. In doing so, I combine scientifically based psychology with body awareness, mindfulness, and practical experience.
