OVERCOME CHALLENGES AND THRIVE IN LIFE
Emotion Focused Psychotherapy is aimed at people who feel burdened or are experiencing personal, social, work-related or financial difficulties and are looking for change here. Together and in an effective working alliance, we explore your internal emotional experience and processing in relation to your specific concern. The support in this individual process is individually oriented. I support you in gaining more clarity and personal insights about your emotional states and obstacles and further developing the appropriate skills that you need to get ahead for yourself.
Emotion Focused Psychotherapy
Emotions play a crucial role in shaping our overall well-being, thoughts, opinions, needs, longings, behaviors etc.. The evidence-based approaches of Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT) and Intensive Short-term Dynamic Therapy (ISTDP) focus on understanding and utilizing emotion processing as a key component of therapeutic change.
Helping people develop a deeper and broader awareness and understanding of their emotions, allowing them to recognize, process, regulate and express their feelings in a healthy and adaptive manner. Through this process, people can gain insight into the underlying causes of their emotional struggles and the maintaining factors and work towards resolving deep-rooted issues. Emotion-focused Psychotherapy can be highly beneficial for a variety of concerns, including anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship difficulties and unresolved emotional pain.
“Love is the child of freedom, never that of domination. “

How Therapy Works
We get to know each other
In our initial session – on site in Berlin or online – you tell me what is relevant to you. What’s been weighing on you, what you’re hoping for, where you are right now.
I’ll walk you through my approach and we’ll figure out together whether and how I can support you. No pressure, no commitment.
Choosing the right format
Together we decide what fits your situation best: regular sessions over time, short-notice appointments during an acute crisis, or an intensive block format for deeper change in a concentrated period.
We work – and we adapt
Therapy isn’t a fixed program. We evaluate the process continuously and adjust methods, frequency, and format as you develop. The goal isn’t to do as much as possible but as little as necessary for you to actually feel the difference.
