PSYCHOTHERAPy

I work as a psychotherapist in training under supervision, in the method of Integrative Gestalt Therapy.

I understand psychotherapy as a professional space in which psychological distress, crises and symptoms are taken seriously, while at the same time creating room for development, clarification and new experiences. Psychotherapy can help to reduce suffering, understand recurring patterns more deeply, and gain more freedom of choice in one’s own life.

In my work, dialogue, relationship, awareness and present‑moment experience are central. A solid therapeutic relationship is particularly important to me: a reliable framework in which trust, openness and appreciation can grow. I aim to offer a place where what is on your mind can be spoken about and received with respect, curiosity and care.

Integrative Gestalt Therapy

Integrative Gestalt Therapy is a humanistic psychotherapeutic approach. It assumes that people are best understood in relation to their history, their body, their environment and their current life circumstances. The focus lies on what is tangible in the here and now – thoughts, feelings, bodily sensations, inner images, and the way someone comes into contact with themselves and others.

Alongside talking, experiential and body‑oriented elements can become part of the process where this feels appropriate. This may mean slowing down perception, including breath and bodily sensations, working with images or symbols, or exploring certain situations more concretely “in the room”. There is no “right” or “wrong” in this – you co‑shape the pace, depth and form of the work.

Body, history and patterns

Because of my background in dance, movement and somatic practices, I am particularly interested in how inner states show up in the body: in breath, posture, tension, impulses to move, or in the feeling of being cut off from one’s own body. Where it is helpful, I include this dimension in the work – not in the sense of training or optimization, but as an invitation to sense more finely what is there and to gradually find new ways of responding to it.

From our own history, we often develop patterns that were once helpful or necessary, but which later can lead to difficulties or suffering. In therapy, we can work on understanding these connections more clearly, bringing older and newer parts of yourself into dialogue, and exploring different ways of acting and experiencing yourself in the here and now.

Attitude

I view people from a bio‑psycho‑social perspective: body, psyche, relationships and social conditions interweave and shape how we experience ourselves and the world. Accordingly, a discrimination‑aware, weight‑inclusive and resource‑oriented stance is very important to me. Different life paths, relationship constellations, identities and ways of perceiving are welcome in my practice.

It matters to me to see you in the reality of your life – with your history, boundaries, needs and possibilities. Psychotherapy should be a space in which you do not have to perform, but where you can show yourself and 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. This means that I work independently with clients, while my work is regularly discussed and reflected on in supervision with experienced psychotherapists.
