Mr Jonathan Back, Registered Psychologist

Registered Psychologist

verified by TherapyRoute

I work with individuals and professionals who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or out of balance, even when life looks fine on the outside. Many of my clients are expats and high-achieving professionals navigating stress, major life transitions, or the weight of ongoing responsibility. As an English-speaking psychologist in Hamburg, I offer a calm, confidential space where we can make sense of what you’re experiencing and work toward steadier, more sustainable ways forward.

About Me

I’m an English-speaking psychologist based in Hamburg. I support individuals and professionals who are dealing with ongoing stress, emotional overload, or periods of change, often while continuing to function at a high level in their daily lives. Working with me is calm, reflective, and collaborative. I offer a confidential space where you don’t need to have the “right words” or a clear agenda. Together, we take time to understand what’s behind your thoughts, emotions, and reactions, and to explore different ways of responding that feel more supportive and sustainable. I’m attentive, direct when helpful, and respectful of your pace. My approach is grounded in evidence-based psychology and shaped by curiosity and care. I focus on helping you develop greater self-understanding, emotional resilience, and clarity over time. Therapy with me is tailored to you and your situation, rather than guided by a rigid formula.

Approach

My approach is calm, direct and grounded in ACT. I focus on helping people understand what’s actually happening in their lives rather than getting lost in theory or jargon. Having lived and worked across countries myself, I’m familiar with the stress, disconnection and pressure that expats and professionals deal with. In sessions we take things step by step, make sense of your patterns, and work out what needs to shift so life feels more workable again. It’s practical, steady work, not quick fixes.
