About me

My name is Elif Chorengel, and I support individuals who are experiencing stress, challenges, or burnout symptoms and new transitions in their everyday lives. Through my work, I create a space where people can find support, strengthen their resources, and make daily life feel lighter and more manageable again.

My professional journey has taken me from international work in the field of behavior analysis to my current practice with adults and children in Germany. These experiences continually remind me how essential it is to consider each person’s unique life circumstances, values, and needs. I use Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to provide practical tools that help reduce stress, make space for difficult emotions, and build lasting resilience.

In my sessions, I work closely with my clients in a collaborative, respectful, and down to earth way. Together, we develop strategies that are practical, sustainable, and truly applicable to everyday life, whether in personal relationships, life goals, or professional challenges. My aim is to open pathways that foster hope, create relief, and support a life lived in alignment with one’s own values.

Approach

Treatment Approaches
ACT: Acceptance and commitment therapyRecommended for those who want to stop fighting negative thoughts and learn how to live with more acceptance and focus on what really matters in life.
CoachingRecommended for those who want support and motivation to achieve personal or professional goals, often with a structured, goal-oriented approach.
Person-centred approachRecommended for those looking for a supportive, non-judgmental space where they can lead the conversation and explore their feelings at their own pace.

My therapeutic approach integrates principles of Applied Behavior Analysis with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to provide practical, values based support that centers on my clients’ needs and overall well being.

In my sessions, I support clients in making space for all of their emotions and in making decisions that are aligned with their values.

My approach is collaborative, strengths based, and practical. I build on existing skills, support clients in navigating challenges, and foster resilience, calm, and a life guided by personal values.
