Find help and support for Sophrology in Berlin
Sophrology is a practical mind-body approach based on breathing, gentle movement, relaxation, body awareness and guided visualisation. It helps people become more aware of physical tension, emotional reactions and automatic stress patterns. Rather than trying to ignore discomfort, sophrology gives the person simple exercises to reconnect with the body, slow down mental overload and respond to pressure with more clarity.
This approach may be useful for people dealing with stress, emotional tension, performance pressure, difficulty relaxing, sleep-related tension or recurring worries. It can also complement broader support for anxiety, burnout or sleep issues, depending on the person’s needs and the practitioner’s training. Sophrology is usually gentle and adaptable, which makes it accessible to many adults, teenagers and, when properly adjusted, children.
A session may include breathing techniques, body scanning, simple movements, relaxation and visualisation exercises. The aim is to build practical tools that can be reused outside the session: before an important meeting, during a stressful period, after emotional tension, before sleep or when preparing for an exam, public speaking, childbirth, a performance or a medical procedure.
Sophrology can be used as a wellbeing practice or as part of a wider therapeutic process alongside approaches such as Mindfulness, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy or Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. It does not replace medical care, psychotherapy or emergency support when these are needed, but it can offer concrete tools for grounding, emotional regulation and daily stress recovery.
Whether you have just arrived in Berlin or have lived here for years, sophrology can be organised around a busy schedule, especially with online sessions. Sessions follow simple exercises done seated or standing, which you can then repeat on your own in daily life.
Sessions of this kind usually last 50 to 60 minutes; depending on the practitioner, they take place in person or online by secure video. Some insurers or employers in Germany contribute to this kind of support and others do not, so check your contract before you start. If you are not sure whether sophrology fits what you are going through, send us a message and we will suggest therapists who match your needs.

Sophrology is a therapeutic approach used by trained professionals to support emotional, behavioral, relational, or psychological change.
Sophrology may be used for concerns such as Anxiety, Burnout, Sleep problems, and Stress. The exact fit depends on assessment and goals.
Many people start with 6 to 12 sessions and review progress, while complex or long-standing concerns may require longer support.
Ask the therapist about their training, how sessions are structured, how progress is reviewed, and whether the method fits your goals and preferences.
Both are possible, depending on the therapist. Some therapists on My International Therapy receive clients in person in Berlin, others work online by secure video, and many offer both. Each profile shows the formats offered. Online sessions are also a way to keep the same therapist if you move or travel.
Yes. Many therapists in the network work in English, and others in German, Russian, Ukrainian and further languages. You can browse English-speaking, German-speaking, Russian-speaking and Ukrainian-speaking therapists in Berlin, and every profile lists the languages spoken.
Statutory health insurance (gesetzliche Krankenversicherung) covers psychotherapy with licensed psychotherapists who have a contract with the insurance funds, but waiting times of several months are common. Many international residents therefore start with a private therapist and pay directly. Private health insurance and some supplementary or expat policies reimburse part of the sessions, depending on the therapist’s qualification: check your contract. Therapists provide invoices you can submit to your insurer.
Each therapist sets their own fee, which is shown on their profile. As a guide, most individual approaches on this site are listed between €80 and €180 per session, couples and family therapy between €120 and €220, and coaching, career counselling or parenting support between €70 and €130. Sessions usually last 50 to 60 minutes.
Therapy is not an emergency service. If you or someone close to you is in danger, call 112. The Telefonseelsorge offers free, anonymous support 24/7 on 0800 111 0 111 or 0800 111 0 222.
The relationship with your therapist matters as much as the method. Compare profiles for the approach used, the topics they work with, the languages, the format and the fee. If you are unsure where to start, describe what you are going through and we will suggest therapists who suit your needs. The first session is also a chance to see whether the fit feels right.
