Short waiting times
In my practice you can start soon — so that relief becomes possible at short notice. The wait for a publicly funded therapy place can be used meaningfully this way.

Welcome to the private practice for experience-centred psychotherapy
Development begins in experience.
I create a protected space and accompany you in finding a coherent way of dealing with what burdens you right now — and in unfolding new perspectives. Clear in perception. Genuine in encounter.
A prompt start is possible — get in touch and I will tell you the next available appointment.

What is on your mind?
Choose a word. Behind it you find one sentence describing how I look at it — and a way to the full explanation.
Nothing terrible needs to have happened for something to be missing. If closeness feels exhausting, that alone is reason enough to look.
Sometimes everything is there — and still something speaks up that has no name. We don't have to name it right away to begin.
You don't have to be depressed to be sad. A quiet heaviness deserves to be taken seriously too.
Daily life works again. The nights don't yet. That is not a setback — it's the part that still needs space.
In the first year many people ask. After that, hardly anyone. Here your grief may stay as long as it needs.
You can be surrounded by people and still feel unreached. That is not failure — it is a topic.
When even the morning is too much, good advice doesn't help. Here it is first about things becoming lighter.
If you are only functioning, your system isn't broken — it has held out for too long.
You don't have to come as a couple for something to shift. Change can begin with one person.
Anxiety is not illogical. It simply follows a logic you don't know yet. That is exactly what we look at.
If objectively nothing ever happened and you still brace yourself every morning — then something did happen.
You don't have to collapse first to deserve help. The right moment is now, not later.
All medical results are fine — and you are still empty. There is an explanation for that too.
The feeling of being seen through says nothing about your abilities. Only something about how you look at yourself.
If you only notice it was too much once it already was too much — that can be practised.
Anger is not a defect. It points to something that was hurt. Together we look at what.
Experience-centred psychotherapy
Experience-centred psychotherapy focuses on what is being experienced inwardly right now. It considers feelings, thoughts, bodily sensations and personal life patterns equally, and supports you in using your inner resources and strengths effectively.
Feelings and bodily signals serve as signposts to deeper connections. The therapeutic relationship itself becomes a safe space in which new experiences emerge — emotionally, mentally and physically.
Your advantages with a licensed psychotherapy practitioner
Short-term therapy
What matters is not duration but effectiveness in your experience. We focus on what moves you right now, so that stability and safety can return.
Self-funded sessions
Sensitive information that could matter to authorities or insurers deliberately stays in your hands. Support in a private practice can therefore be of great value.
Step by step, at your pace
1EnquiryYou write me briefly what it is about — one sentence is enough.
2Phone callA short phone or video call to get to know each other.
3First sessionCalmly we clarify whether working together feels right.
4Your paceWe adapt duration and frequency flexibly to you.
What it costs and how it works
As a private practice I do not bill statutory health insurers. The process, session length, cancellation policy and the question of reimbursement are on their own page — so you can settle that before writing.
See process & feesAll people — regardless of origin, ethnicity, gender, religion, sexual orientation, age, belief, identity and belonging — are welcome here.
