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

- 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.

Be the leader you wish you‘d had
Take a step! The future is placing ever more demanding challenges on us. In a managerial position, it is no longer enough to ‘only' be an expert. Computers will do more and more expert work for us. But what computers will not do, is this “people management” work. I think that only human beings can do leadership. Since we work with people at work and our clients are people, it is very important to understand people and to like them. Being a leader is a really challenging issue with many pitfal

I stand on two legs in my private life and in my professional life. I have clients from two basic areas. As a coach and trainer, I work with companies. With managers mostly (from middle management to directors or presidents) or sales persons. And as a therapist and coach I help individuals in their private areas. And what is interesting, is seeing the same thing happen in both areas: A big surprise and at the same time a relief, when we do not talk about their problems, but we devote all

Important questions – answers you want to know before experience hypnotherapy. Although “hypnotherapy” is nothing new for mankind, it is still shrouded in mystery. Probably because of the first part of the word “hypnosis”. For some people it may evoke feelings and images such as: laying on the coach, sleeping, loss of consciousness, manipulation, losing control over their behaviour… In this article I want to give useful answers about some common questions.
