Paula Grüner-Schmall

I am a Clinical Psychologist (M.Sc.) with experience across a range of clinical settings, including outpatient and inpatient mental health care. Throughout my professional career, I have worked closely with multidisciplinary healthcare teams, developing an integrated understanding of emotional wellbeing, psychological distress, and the complex relationship between mental and physical health. My therapeutic approach is grounded in relational psychodynamic psychotherapy and informed by evidence-based modalities such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Sensorimotor Psychotherapy. I am particularly interested in the ways emotional, relational, and bodily experiences influence psychological wellbeing, as well as in the complex interactions between psychological and physical health. My work focuses on supporting individuals facing emotional difficulties, trauma, affective disorders, and significant life transitions, with the aim of fostering meaningful and sustainable change. I believe that effective psychotherapy is built on a safe, trusting, and collaborative therapeutic relationship. My goal is to provide a space where you can feel genuinely heard, understood, and supported. Together, we can explore your experiences at a pace that feels right for you, drawing on your strengths and inner resources to promote growth, healing, and lasting change.
