My guiding principles
Individuality Every person is unique. For this reason, the entire therapy is tailored to your individual problems, wishes, goals and life situation.
Appreciation The therapy should offer a safe and trusting space to talk openly about feelings and problems. In doing so, I meet you without prejudice and with appreciation.
Responsibility As your psychotherapist, responsible treatment is particularly important to me. Therefore, the treatment consists of proven and scientifically recognized procedures.
Structure The therapy is structured in a way that is comprehensible to you. For example, therapy goals and methods are derived from the individual problem analysis.
Competence Due to my work experience and the use of proven and scientifically tested methods, you can expect competent treatment.
Transparency Through transparent and open communication on my part, you have control over the course of treatment, so that psychotherapy can take place at eye level.
As a cognitive behavioral therapist I try to work out with you what is stressing you, what has led to the development of your situation and above all: what you can do to improve your situation.
Difficult life situations often develop because the strategies we use to avoid or control certain situations or feelings often do not help in the long run or trigger a vicious circle. Cognitive Behavioral therapy thus assumes that the development of psychological problems is related to learned patterns of behavior. Often the origins of these learning experiences can be found in childhood.
An important part of therapy is about learning new strategies and ways to increase one’s own satisfaction or quality of life. With this in mind, the time between therapy sessions can be used to try out and practice new behaviors. In the sessions, these exercises are then reflected on together and, if necessary, readjusted. Behavioral therapy sees itself as helping people to help themselves.
