"Every person is a unique person and actually, considered in their own right, the greatest artwork of all time."

Initial consultation
It is best to contact me by phone or e-mail and we will make an appointment for the first session. During this initial consultation, we will take one full session so you can describe your concerns and we have time to get to know each other. Together we will clarify your wishes, goals, and expectations for therapy. Finally, we will discuss the details for therapy and how we will move forward.
Duration
Each psychotherapy session lasts 50 minutes. The duration of the entire therapy process is individual and depends on several factors, such as the topic you want to work on, your starting point and your goals.

Do I need psychotherapy?Whether you are satisfied with your current quality of life is for you to decide. Reasons for starting psychotherapy may be that you are dissatisfied with your own life and you feel like you can’t fulfill your own potential due to recurring patterns, structures, emotions, or inner conflicts. Psychotherapy means setting out on a journey, a journey to yourself. I support and accompany you during this process.
