Laura Nickel

My clients usually are: - people with ADHD who experience great shifts in their ability to focus depending on the task and get easily overwhelmed with managing the week or have a good but exhausting system in place. People with ADHD can (but don't have to) feel restless and often get into an emotional rollercoaster. In my counselling you will learn how ADHD expresses itself in adulthood, how you can cope with the challenges that come with it and how you can view your strengths and weaknesses fairly. - people who fear that they have or will develop a serious illness even if doctors tell, the symptoms are harmless. In my counselling you can gain a comprehensive understanding of your symptoms – learn how to deal with them more calmly and how to face finiteness of our lives. - people who face lots of stress, feel exhausted and unhappy, tend to ruminate and have sleeping problems. In my counselling you will learn how to deal with stress factors in a way that’s beneficial to your health and shape your life according to your values. I greatly enjoy working with neurodivergent individuals and appreciate the diversity of different ways of perceiving and thinking. I myself experience myself as rather neurotypical – usually structured and straight thought paths. This allows me to bring a stable, calm aspect to my work – a framework that offers structure and goal orientation while simultaneously allowing room for flexibility and creativity. I work with scientific methods from cognitive behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy and self-compassion.
