How I can help you

Our one on one sessions can be in person, where that is possible, or online via Google Meet. What we do and talk about in those sessions depends on the purpose of our meeting and on what we agree upon. Both, the in-person and the online formats, have advantages and limitations that we will talk about in our initial chat.

This may start with spending an initially agreed number of sessions (between ten and twenty) to address a specific mental, emotional or relational issue. During that time, therapy is focused and specific to a particular area of concern and directed to look in depth at the presenting issue. The goal is the resolution of the issue by uncovering and understanding the underlying mental, emotional and relational dynamics.

Ongoing therapy of no fixed duration is then possible to aid in-depth and ongoing self-development to address long-term symptoms, ingrained beliefs and behavior or thinking patterns.

Sometimes, when we are stuck in a seemingly endless labyrinth of unhelpful thoughts and painful experiences, it can feel as if we are the only ones in such a place. In fact, there are likely a number of people in similar frames of mind also struggling to find new perspectives. From time to time I offer small group sessions (either in person or live online) where we explore together key challenges, common belief systems, and also ways to learn expanding our vision on life’s possibilities, and moving towards experiencing more happiness.

To express your interest, or to book a workshop for your group, please get in touch with me.

This typically involves a limited number of sessions (around six sessions) to address an acute life/work crisis or transition. Counseling is not directed at underlying causes or issues but towards offering the most appropriate support and understanding to help you get through a difficult period.

I have lived and worked in German and English speaking cultures all my life. Especially here in New Zealand, I am working with people from rather different cultural backgrounds. Maybe that’s why I can easily relate to and converse in both languages.

On my contact page I always update where I am in person. If that is not near you at the time, let’s meet online until a time when that may become the case.
