Psychotherapy
A space and a time of your own, where you can look at what is happening to you without hurry and without judgement — and work on it in a way that makes sense for your life.
How we work
The first meeting is one of getting acquainted: we take a history, map out what brings you here and discuss therapeutic goals. You do not need to have formulated your request clearly — formulating it is already part of the work.
From there the work moves on two levels at once. In understanding: where the patterns come from, which relationships and stories sustain them, what they once served. And in practice: concrete tools for regulating anxiety, managing daily life and gradually trying out new ways of doing things.
The balance between the two depends on what is being asked. A panic attack needs tools now; a repeating relational pattern first needs to be seen for what it is.
When it helps
- Anxiety that will not lift, constant worry, panic attacks.
- Obsessive–compulsive symptoms: persistent thoughts and rituals that eat time and energy.
- Depressed mood, loss of interest, a sense of emptiness.
- Professional burnout and chronic stress.
- Difficulties in the relationship with food and with body image.
- Psychosomatic symptoms with no organic finding.
- When something keeps repeating — in relationships, at work, in how you treat yourself.
- In transitions: separation, bereavement, moving, changing jobs, becoming a parent.
- When relationships with your family of origin still weigh on your adult life.
- When you simply want to understand yourself better — that is reason enough.

Frequently asked questions
No. Therapy does not presuppose a diagnosis or a crisis. Many people come because they want to understand themselves better, or because they are going through a period of change.
That is completely usual, especially at the beginning. You do not need to arrive prepared; the conversation takes shape between us, and silences have their place too.
The work is not to tell you what to do. It is to understand together what is happening and to widen your options, so that the decision is genuinely yours. Practical tools do exist, however, and are used wherever they help.
Yes, and often the combination is what is indicated. A psychologist does not prescribe or adjust medication; where needed, cooperation with your treating psychiatrist happens in parallel and always with your consent.
