About me

Visit my website to find more about me: https://www.julinasorgenfrei.com/

I am a counseling psychologist from Hamburg trained in the Netherlands and in Germany. I have several years of experience as a freelance psychologist working with clients on personal challenges, such as stress, anxiety, relationships, establishing healthy routines, and finding purpose. I also regularly teach mindfulness classes for employees and hold group workshops on workplace mental health and burnout prevention.

Having previously worked in human resources and marketing in various companies myself, I know the psychological stressors and challenges of different professions and company cultures. This helps me empathise greatly with my clients' problems. I have also gained clinical experience in a psychiatric hospital and a rehabilitation clinic working with patients with depression, anxiety, chronic pain, and burnout.

For more than 10 years I have been passionate about yoga and mindfulness and I am happy to share this passion through my work. I love to travel and I have lived in different countries. Therefore, I am familiar with the challenges of living abroad and being an expat, and offer support during major life transitions.

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.
CBT: Cognitive behavioral therapyRecommended for those looking for practical support and accountability to change unhelpful thinking and behaviors.
CounsellingRecommended for those who want to talk through their emotional challenges with a professional in a safe, supportive environment.
I provide a safe, non-judgemental space where we explore your personal challenges and find solutions to overcome these. My approach is needs-oriented and based on methods from modern psychology, such as Cognitive-behavioural Therapy, Systemic Therapy, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. I also use evidence-based stress management techniques and mindfulness techniques in my sessions to facilitate relaxation.

High stress levels can leave you feeling exhausted, anxious and disconnected from yourself. Together, we identify the thought patterns and habits that are causing the imbalance in your life. Possible topics we look at in more detail include your current workload, the main stressors in your life, how to set healthy boundaries in your relationships with others, self-care, or your biographical background. An integral part is to gain awareness of your personal resources and what you need to live a fulfilling life in alignment with your values. The goal is to help you find a healthy balance between stress and relaxation - for more wellbeing in your personal life and at work.

To get to know each other and find out if I am the right psychologist for you, I offer a free 20-minute intake consultation online without obligation. Please send me a message for a first free session.

Important note: Online counseling does not replace psychotherapy. In case of severe mental disorders or if you find yourself in an acute crisis, a psychotherapist should be consulted.
