About Me

This experienced Clinical Psychologist supports individuals in understanding and shifting long-standing patterns. Drawing on Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy and insights from Schema Therapy, they help clients develop practical tools for daily life. Sessions are a collaborative space, offered online in English or German, where challenges are explored with care. Clients find a good match in this structured yet compassionate approach, learning concrete strategies like mindfulness to build lasting resilience.

Approach

Sessions move between focused skill practice and gentle exploration of long-standing patterns, creating space to test new responses. I offer sessions remotely, speaking both English and German, and keep the pace intentional so each meeting feels practical and manageable. We use brief structured exercises, between-session experiments and mindful awareness to monitor small shifts and refine strategies for mood and anxiety. Clients looking for steady, doable change often find this way of working suits them.
