Laura Roguski

My practice is aimed at people with unique needs and desires for change: I can help to recognise and overcome old patterns, to identify new perspectives and to change the experience in the here and now. During our work together, reflection and nuanced perception are used to explore the conditions that trigger and perpetuate problems and limit everyday life. Starting from here, we develop concrete and appropriate options to pave the way for new steps. In couples therapy, the relationship is in the foreground: recurring dynamics are deciphered in conversation—the aim is to achieve a shift that shows ways out of entrenched patterns. The direction this movement takes is worked out in our sessions together. I work using a combination of methodologies. The foundation of my working approach is systemic therapy, which means that I am also happy to involve people close to the client in the process, if this is desired. In addition, I have trained in the following therapeutic, systemic and philosophically oriented methods and integrate them into my work: • Emotionally focused therapy • Schema therapy • Acceptance and commitment therapy ACT • Solution-focused brief therapy • Emotionally focused couples and family therapy • MSC (mindful based self-compassion) • MBSR (mindful based stress reduction) • Open Dialogue
