For expats, internationals,
and anyone ready to understand themselves better.
Online, in English or German. From anywhere in the world.
You keep ending up in the same place
You say yes when you mean no. You feel a low-grade dissatisfaction you can't quite name. Or you look back and notice you've been here before - the same dynamic, a different situation. Something keeps pulling you back to the same patterns, and you're not sure why.
It's not about willpower or trying harder. Most of the time, the patterns that keep us stuck are running quietly in the background - shaped by things we've never fully looked at. That's where the work starts.
Together we slow down enough to understand what's actually driving it. Not to analyse endlessly, but to shift it. If you want to understand more about how self-awareness works in practice, this post is a good starting point.

Life abroad is lonelier than you expected
You moved for adventure, for work, for love - maybe all three. And in the beginning, the newness carried you. But somewhere along the way, something shifted. You don't quite fit into the local culture, and the expat crowd can feel surface-level. You miss something you can't even fully name.
Or maybe you moved for your partner's career - and suddenly found yourself starting over. No job, no network, no ready-made structure. Your partner has a whole world built in. You're building yours from scratch, and somewhere in that process, you lost track of who you are outside of it.
You don't need to be in crisis to reach out. Feeling lost, stuck, or just off - that's enough. I've worked with clients across 15+ countries who came with exactly that feeling.

I've lived abroad too
I studied psychology in the Netherlands and spent a semester in Japan. Living outside your home country changes how you see yourself - and I know that from the inside, not just from textbooks. I work with clients across 15+ countries and don't need expat life explained to me.
Evidence-based, not one-size-fits-all
I draw on depth psychology, Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), positive psychology, trauma-informed work, emotional intelligence and regulation - not because they're fashionable, but because they work. The approach is adapted to what each person actually needs, not applied by formula.
Online, wherever you are
No commute, no waiting room, no searching endlessly for a parking spot. Sessions happen from the comfort of your own space, at a time that fits your life. From anywhere in the world. In English or German.
Something big changed. You haven't caught up yet.
A move to a new country. A career shift. The end of something you thought would last. A life stage that's heavier than you expected it to be. Change - even change you chose - can leave you feeling unsteady in ways that are hard to explain to people around you.
The difficulty isn't a sign that you made the wrong decision or that something is wrong with you. It's what happens when your inner world hasn't yet caught up with your outer one. That gap is real, and it takes time and attention to close. Read more about managing emotions during life transitions.
In our sessions we work through what the change has stirred up - and find your footing again. At a pace that fits you.

You struggle to say what you actually need
You know what you want to say. But it comes out wrong, or it comes out apologetically, or it doesn't come out at all. You end up agreeing to things you didn't want. You put other people's needs first and then resent it quietly.
Setting a limit feels selfish, or it brings up so much discomfort that it just seems easier not to. Over time, that pattern takes a toll - on your relationships, on your sense of self, on your energy. This is one of the most common things people bring to counselling, and one of the most workable. Read more about how people-pleasing shows up for expats.
Together we work on understanding where this comes from and building a different way of being in your relationships - one that doesn't require you to disappear to keep the peace.

Online counselling limits
Please note that I am based and licensed as a therapist in Germany. According to the German psychotherapy regulations the here offered online counselling service does not constitute psychotherapy in the sense of the German psychotherapy regulations. At the moment psychotherapy according to German law is only possible with a face-to-face diagnostic process.
Furthermore the psychological counselling service offered here is not suited for all psychological issues, crises or severe mental health disorders. In those cases you should contact a local psychotherapist or psychiatrist. In an acute psychological crisis you can also always call the emergency lines of your country or specially established mental health hotline. These hotlines are available around the clock and can help you without delay.
If you are unsure whether the online counselling is suitable for you, we can explore that together during the free introductory session.
