About Me

I am a Registered Play Therapist based in Mitte, Berlin. I provide play therapy and child psychological diagnostic assessments for abuse, behaviour, relationship, and adolescent issues. I work with families and schools to make clear plans that protect safety and track progress.

Approach

After agreeing practical goals together, sessions are steady and flexible so young people can lead at their own pace. In a calm Mitte setting, primarily in English, play, drawing and gentle questioning help surface feelings and patterns while short carers' debriefs keep safety and routine aligned. I use focused observations and informal assessments to shape small, measurable steps between meetings, and I liaise with schools or other adults with consent. This way of working suits parents and young people seeking practical, trauma-aware support that builds everyday coping.
