Private psychotherapy · for self-payers and the supplementary-insured

Psychotherapy is nothing out of the ordinary.

Where a brain works, patterns, conflicts, pain, grief and stress arise — that is part of being human. A helpful psychotherapy strengthens your autonomy, supports learning processes and gives the ability to enjoy life room again. In the 21st century, good psychotherapy is always neuropsychotherapy too. In person, walking, by video or phone.

Who finds their way here

People who deliberately choose the private path — discretion, free choice of therapist, depth instead of a timed session grid — and who want to take their change into their own hands.

— I.

How I work.

The basis is a careful integration: neuropsychotherapy combined with behavioural therapy, systemic psychotherapy, philosophical thinking and — in the background — psychodynamic understanding. Where helpful, complemented by Zen-based mindfulness from over two decades of my own practice. No off-the-shelf scheme, but tailored to you.

i

Neuropsychotherapy

How the brain learns is the basis of any lasting change — scientifically grounded, not arbitrary.

ii

Integration

Behavioural therapy, systemic thinking, philosophy, psychodynamic understanding — combined as your situation calls for.

iii

Mindfulness

25 years of traditional Zen, embedded neuropsychotherapeutically — for inner calm where not everything can be shaped.

Life can be shaped — and life cannot be shaped. The first calls for tools, the second for equanimity. Both have a place here.

When psychotherapy may be appropriate

What brings people here.

With psychological as well as physical illness, in crises of life, meaning and relationship. Often it is about depression, anxiety and panic, stress and burnout, sleep disorders, psychosomatics and pain, obsessive-compulsive disorders, addiction or eating disorders, personality and stress-related disorders.

Areas of focus include burnout and stress-related disorders, anxiety and depression, psychosomatics and pain, accompaniment through cancer, and couples themes — often alongside medical treatment and in close collaboration with other specialists.

In acute emergencies, Emergency Psychology applies — and in case of immediate danger, the emergency numbers 144 (ambulance) or 143 (the Helping Hand).

— II.

Not only the problem — your autonomy.

Alongside treating the concern, my focus is always on strengthening your self-efficacy: lasting psychological and psychosocial change instead of mere symptom management, the integration of health psychology and psychotherapy — and, where you seek it, personal development.

At first we let ourselves be coached together; over time you increasingly take over. The goal is that, in the end, you are enough — not the therapy.

— III.

Work happens where it does you good.

At the core are the Walking Talks in the countryside close to the city — walking, the mind moves differently than sitting; side by side rather than opposite. Plus video, phone and, by arrangement, home visits. Early morning, during the day, over midday or in the evening.
