PSYCHOTHERAPy

I am a psychotherapist in training under supervision, practicing Integrative Gestalt Therapy. I understand psychotherapy as a professional setting in which psychological distress, crises, and symptoms are taken seriously, while also providing space for personal development, clarification, and new experiences. Psychotherapy can support the reduction of suffering, foster a deeper understanding of recurring patterns, and enhance one’s capacity for choice and agency in life.

 

​In my work, dialogue, therapeutic relationship, awareness, and present-moment experience are central. Particular emphasis is placed on establishing a stable and reliable therapeutic framework in which trust, openness, and mutual respect can develop.

 

I aim to offer a space in which personal concerns can be expressed freely and met with sensitivity, curiosity, and professional care.

Integrative Gestalt Therapy

Integrative Gestalt Therapy is a humanistic psychotherapeutic approach that understands individuals within the context of their personal history, bodily experience, environment, and current life circumstances. The focus is on present-moment experience, which encompasses thoughts, emotions, bodily sensations, inner images, and the ways in which a person relates to themselves and others.

​

In addition to talk therapy, experiential and body-oriented elements may be incorporated into the therapeutic process where appropriate. This can involve slowing down perception, attending to breath and bodily sensations, working with images or symbols, or exploring situations more concretely within the therapeutic setting. There is no predefined “right” or “wrong” approach; the pace, depth, and form of the work are shaped collaboratively.

​

Body and patterns

Given my background in dance, movement, and somatic practices, I have a particular interest in how inner states are expressed in the body — through breath, posture, patterns of tension, impulses to move, or experiences of disconnection from one’s own body.

 

Where appropriate, this dimension is integrated into the therapeutic process—not in the sense of training or optimization, but as an invitation to develop a more refined awareness of the present-moment experience and to gradually discover new ways of relating and responding to it.

​

Over the course of our lives, we often develop patterns that were once adaptive or necessary, but may later contribute to difficulties or suffering. In therapy, these patterns can be explored and understood more clearly, allowing past and more recent aspects of the self to enter into dialogue with one another.This process can open up new possibilities for action and for experiencing oneself in the present moment.

​

MY APPROACH

I adopt a biopsychosocial perspective, understanding body, psyche, relationships, and social conditions as interconnected dimensions that shape how we experience ourselves and the world. Within this framework, a discrimination-aware, weight-inclusive, and resource-oriented stance is central to my work. Diverse life paths, relationship constellations, identities, and ways of perceiving are explicitly welcomed in my practice.

​

It is important to me to encounter you within the reality of your life—with your history, boundaries, needs, and possibilities. Psychotherapy, as I understand it, should offer a space in which there is no need to perform, but rather an opportunity to be seen, to express yourself authentically, and to develop at your own pace.

Psychotherapist in training under supervision

​I use the professional title “psychotherapist in training under supervision” because I am in the final phase of my psychotherapy training. I work independently with clients, and my work is regularly reflected on in supervision with experienced psychotherapists.
