About me

Hello, my name is Anna. I am a psychologist with a Master’s degree in Clinical Psychology and Psychotherapy. I am currently training to become a licensed psychological psychotherapist at SFU Berlin, specializing in cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), and I am also training as a systemic counsellor. I would describe myself as empathetic, open-minded and curious. I have a genuine interest in people and their individual stories, and I truly value working together to better understand thoughts, emotions and experiences. At the same time, I approach my work in a structured and thoughtful way. It is important to me to reflect critically on psychotherapy and counselling, including questions of power, perspective and context. I try to stay aware of the fact that learning is an ongoing process, both personally and professionally. Outside of my work, I enjoy playing basketball, spending time with friends in cafés or parks, and being part of a reading group.

I speak:

German

Location:

Leipzig, Germany

Approach

Treatment Approaches
CBT: Cognitive behavioral therapyRecommended for those looking for practical support and accountability to change unhelpful thinking and behaviors.
Clinical psychologyRecommended for those who need help with diagnosing and treating more complex mental health issues, often involving assessments and evidence-based treatments.
Systemic coachingRecommended for those who want to improve their personal or professional relationships by understanding how they function within larger systems.
My work is mainly grounded in cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), which I chose because it offers a wide range of practical, evidence-based tools that can support meaningful change. At the same time, I decided to train in systemic counselling because I value its focus on relationships, context and the broader systems we are part of. Overall, I believe in an integrative approach. This means combining different methods and perspectives in a way that fits your individual needs, rather than applying a single fixed model. I aim to work in a collaborative, respectful and discrimination-sensitive way, while staying aware of my own position as a white cisgender woman within the therapeutic context. In our work together, I focus on your goals, concerns and needs. I see clients as experts on their own lives, and my role as part of a working alliance in which we explore together what changes feel important and how they can be approached. I also see therapy as a space that remains open to reflection and feedback. I am continuously learning, and I appreciate thoughts, questions and critical perspectives as part of that process.
