i believe in the power of truly listening. I believe in the idea that if everyone had someone in our lives who truly listens to our struggles, without judgment, we would live in a dramatically different world. from a theoretical perspective, the humanistic approach to psychotherapy resonates most with me. PLEASE READ: before you contact me, you should know that i am still a beginner in psychological counseling and haven’t undergone sufficient training in order to be an officially licensed therapist. my experience mostly comes from my bachelor’s degree in psychology, my personal experiences (as a queer person) navigating this (straight) world, and a student counseling group that i was part of during my studies. if you are mainly looking for someone to listen to you and give some personal input as well as relate your situation to a good foundation of scientific knowledge, then i would be happy to help you. if you are suffering from very severe mental problems (like severe depression or severe addiction) and you think you need acute, intensive, and professional care, then i am afraid I don’t feel equipped enough yet to give you the care you need. in any case, i would be very happy to listen to your situation in a first (free) test session, after which we can decide if we are a good fit and if i can offer what you need. if you are in a financially unstable situation, please don’t hesitate to contact me and we can find a price that works for both of us. looking forward to hearing from you, and stay safe! x ps: i am available for sessions in english and german. now also available for face-to-face sessions at my office. || topics i feel comfortable and equipped to tackle with you: queer trauma, coming-out, sex, polygamy, polyamory, kink & bdsm, relationships, mood, family, parties & drugs, chemsex, jealousy, always feel free to approach me about other topics as well ||
