About me as a therapist

I emphasize a trustful relationship, true listening and an empathic, accepting and non-judging attitude. I guide clients to find their own inner resources and coping mechanisms to overcome their current difficulties. I use mental imagery, unconscious symbols, dreamwork and mindfulness techniques. Inner work restarts our creativity and heals our souls.

About my therapy sessions

I have been trained in psychodynamic/psychoanalytical psychotherapy called Guided Affective Imagery since 2006. GAI uses imaginations, that are worked out and integrated in a subsequent interview. The inner reality is displayed on a symbolic level, including current tuning, conscious and unconscious conflicts. In addition I use MBSR (Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction), dreamwork and other stress reduction techniques in my work.
