HOW TO GET OUT OF A DEAD END?
Ship - story: It happens sometimes, that just as a ship, people as well might get stuck in the shallow. Or they simply get lost. Together, in an equal and partner relationship,we will put „your ship“ back on track, into your desired stream. The stars in your sky will be leading us. And when you are back on your cruise, you will understand that you only helped yourself with what you already had inside of you, for a long time. Because you have always been the Captain of your Soul.... wishing you fair winds and following seas!
What kind of approach can you expect in Brief Therapy? (or why it is so demanding)
Unlike traditional forms of therapy that take time to analyze problems, pathology and past life events, Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) concentrates on finding solutions in the present time and exploring one’s hope for the future to find quicker resolution of one’s problems.
MORE ABOUT MY APPROACH
- Playful, brave, straight to the point
- 100% practice-oriented
- It is my mindset to convey all competencies needed within the shortest time possible, to help you reach a stage at which you will be able to handle all critical situations alone and not need my assistance any more.
- I trust that you already have all the resources (abilities, the strength...) needed to solve the problem.
- When I am looking at you, I don’t see “a problem”; I see “the solution to your problem”.
- The best solutions are not the tailored ones, but those that are made by you. You are the expert on your own life.
- I don’t analyse the problem or the past. I don’t do diagnostics. I focus on your desired future.
- I accept and respect YOU (your vocabulary, your world, priorities and values, feelings)
- I don’t want to “form you” or set the direction; I am only giving the impulse.
- I listen and make you feel that you are important and unique in this world.
- INTIMACY – the content of our conversation remains confidential- between you and me; just like a confession 😊
Psychotherapy
“If you have a problem, and you are upset about it, you already have two problems.”
Positive and long-lasting change can occur in a relatively brief period of time by focusing on the solution-building process instead of focusing on the problems.
My therapy is grounded in the beliefs:
- Clients have resources; my job is to help identify them and utilize them toward therapy goals
- Change is constant and inevitable
- There is no necessarily logical relationship between the problem and solution
- Focusing on what is possible and changeable is more helpful than focusing on what is overwhelming and intractable
- Small changes lead to bigger changes
- Clients are the experts on their lives; therapists are experts on asking questions that help them reach the lives they want
- Therapy is co-constructed
People are unique, so is their suffering and difficulties. Here are some examples of problems with which people often come to me:
- Sadness and despair, meaninglessness of life
- Anxiety
- Fears
- Relationship problems (partnership issues, family, colleagues, friends..)
- Low self-esteem
- Trauma
- Sexual problems ...and many more
What do I offer?
- Individual therapy
- Couple therapy
- Family therapy
Can we work remotely?
- Yes. I offer face-to-face consultations locally and via Skype/Zoom/Internet worldwide. Psychotherapy via the Internet works equally as well. This is really useful for people further afield or for people who cannot travel to appointments.

ART-therapy
Unleash your creative self!
Art Therapy is a type of therapy in which artistic expression is used as a form of communication, that means, we do not express ourselves by speaking, but by creating.
The important thing is the process, not the final work, so it's not important to have previous knowledge of art.

A case study: Psychotherapy to manage anger and negative thoughts

An effective combination of psychotherapy and hypnotherapy can help even in the first session with deep and lasting family traumas.
Today, I want to inspire you with a real case in which we achieved significant improvement together with the client. The Client's Painful Situation We often carry various psychological wounds from childhood. My client, a 58-year-old woman, contacted me due to a situation that had been bothering her for several years. For a long time, she felt that her mother favored her brother. Her mother always paid more attention and support to him (both emotionally and materially), tolerated his mistak
