Welcome.

Counselling + Job coaching + ADHD coaching

You would like support
… in everyday life?
… in your job?
… with ADHD?

Then you have come to the right place!

In my sessions with you I combine a resource-oriented systemic approach with mindfulness. It is all about feeling and being in the here and now: noticing and being aware of sensations, feelings, body perceptions and thoughts.

Together we will find out how you can stay true to yourself and communicate more consciously and mindfully in relationships and situations.

Counselling + Therapy

  • ... get to know and accept yourself better?

    ... change communication and behavioral patterns?

    ... find new rituals for self-care?

    ... integrate mindfulness into your everyday life?

    ... find a way to deal with issues?

    ... be accompanied in a phase of upheaval?

    Some issues can be dealt with in just a few sessions, others need more time if we want to go deeper.

  • You have a specific issue, a current conflict, a decision coming up, want guidance for your life planning or challenges, etc.

  • You have several deeper issues, like communication + behavioral patterns, relationship dynamics, self-worth, needs + boundaries, grief, separation, etc. Here you have more space and time to face your issues.

Job coaching

  • ... reorient yourself professionally and are unsure where to go. With your talents, interests, skills and ideas in mind, we will look at different options and choose the SMARTest goal for you.

    ... apply for a job and I will support you design your application documents.

    ... make a good impression at a job interview. We practice together how this could be done.

    ... support in a professional crisis, e.g. conflicts in the team. We can set this up on the systemic board and find out how to change the dynamics.

    ... get out of a boreout or burnout. Then I will help you to restore your work-life balance and to find your way back into your job.

    ... work on another topic that is not listed here as an example.

    Here you can address your professional issues: whether you have the right job, what new job would be a good idea, what dream you always had ...

  • Together we look at your strengths + skills, what is important to you (values) and develop a perspective for your professional future.

    Also for people with ADHD.

  • Available nationwide and for free with AVGS/Bildungsgutschein, when you are with Jobcenter or Bundesagentur für Arbeit.

ADHD coaching

  • … be more comfortable and forgiving with yourself? [Self-worth.]

    … be more aware of feelings in your body and deal with them without suppressing them or exploding? Learn how to regulate you nervous system? [Body awareness, Emotion regulation + impulsivity]

    … deal better with inner restlessness and tension? [Movement urge, self-regulation]

    … find out what you actually want or not want and learn how to adequately say "no"? [Needs + Boundaries]

    … find a better way to organize yourself and your everyday life? [Time + organization, daily routine]

    … establish conditions for yourself to feel safe and to be able to "function" well? [Self-efficacy]

    … minimize stimuli and stress? [Overstimulation + Overload]

    … find pleasure and motivation? Minimize pressure? [Motivation + Procrastination]

    … find a better way to shape relationships or how you deal with conflicts? [Communication and behavior patterns]

    … set realistic goals you can implement and follow through on? [Planning + Goal Setting]

    We look at what you want to change, find tools to help you do that, so you can improve your quality of life.

  • In my work with people with ADHD I incorporate the systemic, resource-oriented approach with awareness and mindfulness training.

    A safe environment is essential for you to be able to relax and trust, so we can have a good base to start the work. Based on the polyvagal theory, I can explain how your nervous system functions and what ways there are to regulate it. This can open up new possibilities for you in your everyday life and relationships.

    ! A diagnosis cannot be made here, but only by psychological psychotherapists and specialists in psychiatry and psychotherapy, psychosomatic medicine or neurology!

Conditions.

  • The sessions can be weekly, fortnightly or even once a month. However, in the beginning I recommend a weekly meeting so that we can build a relationship which is crucial for the success of our work.

    The 24-hour rule applies: the appointments are reserved exclusively for you, so they can be cancelled or postponed free of charge only up to 24 hours before. Otherwise, the agreed costs will apply.

  • 60 Min. 90 €

    90 Min. 140 €

    For people with little money (students, low-income earners, pensioners, ALG recipients, etc.) there is the possibility to pay less. If you would like to take advantage of this, please contact me. There is only limited capacity.

    Free of charge for people with a voucher from jobcenter/Agentur für Arbeit.

  • Please do not arrive to coaching sessions with cold symptoms (or similar). If you feel fit, we can do an online session, otherwise it's ok to take a break when sick.

    Counselling is not psychological psychotherapy, but exclusively a service outside of the medical profession.

    You are informed that this treatment does not replace an examination by a doctor and that you are requested to consult a doctor independently in the event of any symptoms with a medical value.

About me.

As a systemic counsellor and therapist, I work in private practice and also offer job coaching and ADHD coaching via a job coaching agency (AVGS-voucher from jobcenter/Agentur für Arbeit/Rentenversicherung).

In dealing with my own issues, mindfulness and body awareness (breathing, meditation, yoga, shiatsu) were very important to me. I like the idea of helping people where it really matters: in their lives.
