About me

Hi, I'm Julia. I'm genuinely glad you're here 🌱

If you've landed on this page, chances are you're carrying more than anyone around you can see. On the outside: capable, committed, successful. On the inside: constantly tired, wired, and quietly wondering how long you can keep this up. I call this survival dressed as success — and I want you to know two things right away: you're not broken, and you're not alone. So much of the stress we carry is not a personal failure; it's a completely logical response to the relentless, high-pressure environments we navigate.

I know this from the inside. Just a few years ago, I was navigating a successful career as a sustainability consultant at SAP — finding my purpose in fighting climate change while my own wellbeing was completely depleted. Behind the professional façade: exhaustion, unexplainable chronic health issues, and that persistent, draining feeling of never doing enough. The turning point wasn't a quick fix. It was a compassionate realignment — deep inner changes that finally gave me the energy and clarity to make the outer ones. That journey led me back to what inspires me most: inner change. It became my profession.

Today, I bring both sides to our work: the lived experience, and the training to hold it professionally — an M.Sc. in Psychology (Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin), a BPS-approved diploma in cognitive-behavioural hypnotherapy, and clinical training across CBT, ACT, Internal Family Systems, Compassion-Focused Therapy and somatic stress release.

I specialize in chronic stress, burnout, workplace psychology, and career or life transitions — the places where high-pressure environments and your inner world meet.

I grew up in Germany to Polish parents and now live between Berlin and Paris — so we can work together in English, German, Polish (a bit of French) fully online. Whether you're a founder pushing boundaries, a creative navigating self-doubt, or a purpose-driven professional fighting exhaustion: I'm here to support you, so you can create the change you desire — in your life, your career, and the communities and systems you influence.

Approach

Treatment Approaches
Cognitive behavioural hypnotherapyRecommended for those who want to combine the power of hypnosis with practical, structured tools from cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to break habits or change negative thought patterns.
Integrative therapy Recommended for those who prefer a flexible approach that combines different therapies to meet their unique needs.
Leadership coachingHelps managers and professionals build skills such as communication, decision-making, and conflict resolution to become more effective leaders.
Somatic coachingRecommended for those who want to use body awareness and movement to release emotional tension and promote personal growth.

My approach, which is integartive and rooted in science-based, compassionate care — and in a crucial truth: your struggles are both individual and systemic. We step into partnership together, trusting your innate capacity for deep, lasting change. This is not only talking or cognitive analysis; it's the exact, curated blend of methods that transformed my own life. It unfolds in three gentle phases:

🪷 Release — We begin with your body, not just your story. Your nervous system has been constantly activated to keep you safe — and is now also keeping you stuck. Through somatic work and gentle regulation, we release the accumulated stress so you can shift from survival-mode reactivity to grounded presence.

🪷 Rewire — With CBT, Internal Family Systems and hypnotherapy, we lovingly update the subconscious beliefs and inner patterns that drive over-responsibility, perfectionism and the fear of slowing down. If we use hypnosis, you'll receive individualized recordings of our work to support positive change between sessions.

🪷 Regenerate — Together we build the routines, boundaries and self-compassion that protect your energy for good — so your drive and your wellbeing stop being opposites. Your ambition was never the problem; the missing inner foundation was.

The ultimate result? A robust inner foundation that enables sustainable wellbeing and the authentic, purposeful life you deserve — one internal shift at a time.

A note on structure: our work together is goal-oriented and clearly defined. In our first call, we'll collaboratively define a framework and the amount of time that makes sense for your personal goals.

I strongly believe deep, sustainable support should be accessible. Sessions are €150 (standard), with sliding-scale places at €125 and €100 for those who need them (all incl. VAT).

Experience

I have run my psychological consulting practice since 2023—initially part-time and now full-time. My expertise combines two worlds: in-depth psychological knowledge (M.Sc. Psychology, Dipl. Hypnotherapy) and extensive business experience. Previously, I spent five years as a Strategy and Innovation Consultant at SAP, where I led global projects focused on Sustainability (ESG), digital transformation, and agile change. This firsthand professional background enables me to understand and treat the real systemic pressures faced by changemakers and leaders holistically.
