Dr. Anja Peleikis

As a part of the global Emotionally Focused Therapy network I am committed to support couples, individuals and families in times of distress, conflict and crisis to develop secure and trusting relationships. From an EFT point of view we human beings need secure attachment as a basic need. However, we often aren’t used to formulate and express our needs in ways that partners and others can hear it properly. This can lead into a negative cycle of misunderstanding and miscommunication. I will support you in identifying your negative cycle and stepping out of it; experiencing new ways of deeper connections to yourself and to your partner. In this process painful wounds of life – attachment trauma, rejections and discrimination experiences – can heal through the power of love, empathy and corrective attachment experiences. I combine EFT approaches with therapeutic approaches from trauma therapy, above all I work with Brainspotting (David Grand). I welcome individuals, couples and families from broad socio-cultural, migrant and refugees backgrounds living in the Berlin/Potsdam area and beyond. My background as a social anthropologist who has lived in Brazil, Western Africa, in the Middle East and Eastern Europe has taught me to honour and respect differences and highlighten key universals as emotion and attachment needs.

I am the owner and head of SEVA – Center for Therapy, Training and Yoga in Potsdam Babelsberg. (seva-potsdam.de) Our Center is based in the green and calm outskirts of Berlin and easy to reach via public services (S-Bahn). We offer Psychotherapy and Counseling for couples, individuals, families and groups, Non-Violent Communication, Physiotherapy, Kundalini Yoga and Gong Bath Sessions. As a social anthropologist I conducted research on trauma, memory politics and gender relations in various socio-cultural contexts (in Lebanon, Westafrica - Guine-Bissau and Cote d’Ivoire - and Eastern Europe – Lithuania). I have learnt that human beings all over the world share the same emotions and needs while expressing them in a broad variety of socio-cultural ways. All are welcome here.
