About me

If you'd like to schedule an appointment outside of it's complicated just drop me an e-mail on: amelia@ladadoula.com

Currently taking only online appointments.

My background combines education in psychology and pedagogy with experience supporting individuals and families through emotionally demanding and transitional periods of life. Alongside my counseling-oriented work, I have also completed doula training, which deepened my understanding of emotional wellbeing, relational dynamics, and the importance of feeling supported during vulnerable moments.

I have several years of experience working closely with children and families in both educational and caregiving settings. As a teacher in a Montessori approach and later a nanny, I have supported children of different ages while building strong, trust-based relationships with both them and their parents. This experience has given me a deeper understanding of emotional development, family dynamics, communication patterns, and the importance of creating safe and supportive environments.

I believe meaningful change begins with feeling seen, understood, and emotionally safe. My approach focuses on helping clients explore their experiences with curiosity and compassion while building greater clarity, resilience, and self-trust.

Approach

Treatment Approaches
CounsellingRecommended for those who want to talk through their emotional challenges with a professional in a safe, supportive environment.
Holistic approachRecommended for those who want to address their mental health through a balanced focus on mind, body, and spirit.
Trauma informed careRecommended for those who have experienced trauma and need a safe, supportive space to heal at their own pace.

With adults, I work primarily through reflective dialogue and supportive conversation. Depending on patient needs and what feels comfortable we can explore techniques rooted in MBSR approach, visualisation as well as expression through art or movement. It's important to me to work in a holistic way, reading signs coming from both mind and body. I aim to create a calm and compassionate space where clients can slow down, explore emotions openly, and feel accompanied through difficult experiences or periods of transition. Sessions may involve exploring emotional overwhelm, relationship dynamics, identity, stress, self-esteem, life changes, or feelings that may feel difficult to fully express elsewhere.

I also offer support around pregnancy, birth, postpartum experiences, and the emotional realities of parenthood. These periods can bring profound emotional and identity changes, and while they are often expected to be joyful, they can also involve anxiety, overwhelm, loneliness, grief, fear, loss of control, exhaustion, or difficult emotions that may feel hard to talk about openly.

In my work with children, I focus on creating a supportive and emotionally safe environment where they can communicate in ways that feel natural and comfortable to them. Children often express themselves through play, creativity, movement, imagination, and connection long before they are able to fully put emotions into words. Because of this, I integrate play-based and creative approaches such as art, storytelling, and emotionally attuned interaction to help children explore feelings, build emotional understanding, and develop a stronger sense of safety and confidence within themselves.

My background in pedagogy, teaching, and working closely with families has given me valuable experience in understanding different developmental, emotional, and relational needs. I aim to meet each child individually, with sensitivity, patience, flexibility, and respect for their unique way of experiencing the world. This also includes creating supportive spaces for neurodivergent children, where they can feel understood, accepted, and free from pressure to fit into rigid expectations.

My offering:

Free Introductory Call — 30 min — Free
A short, no-pressure call to see if we're a good fit. You can share a little about what's bringing you here, ask any questions about how I work, and get a feel for whether this feels like the right space for you.

Individual Counseling — 50 min — €80
A dedicated space for you to reflect, be heard, and work through whatever you're carrying. Together we work on understanding your situation more clearly and finding ways forward that feel realistic and supportive for you.

Couples Counseling — 60 min — €110
A space for two people to be heard together - useful when navigating shifts in your relationship, parenting differences, or the emotional weight of a major life transition like pregnancy or a new baby. The extra time allows room for both perspectives.

Home Visit — 50 min + commute — €130
For clients where coming to a session isn't practical: in the postpartum period or for sessions with a young child. I come to you, so we can talk in a space that's comfortable and familiar. Pricing depends on distance within Berlin.
