Perhaps your child seems uncertain, feels lonely, or is increasingly withdrawing. Perhaps they are overwhelmed by intense feelings such as anger, frustration, or jealousy. Maybe conflicts at home are increasing and seem to be becoming more entrenched. Or perhaps you simply want to strengthen your connection with your child and support them in moving through life with greater confidence, calm, and inner strength.

Together, we will look for ways that make room for your child's needs as well as your own – for greater understanding, security, and a respectful relationship with one another.

My Approach

I work with people primarily from a systemic perspective. This approach helps us understand how deeply social systems – such as family, school, peer groups, or cultural environment – shape our thinking, feelings, and actions. At the same time, the systemic perspective supports us in becoming more aware of our own needs, making space for them, and finding ways to realize them in our lives.

Working with children differs in many ways from working with adults. Children rarely choose counselling for themselves and often cannot yet put their experiences and feelings into words. To provide them with a safe and playful access to their inner world, I combine methods from different counselling approaches and adapt them individually to each child and their needs.

In my work with your child, I frequently use creative forms of expression such as painting, free play, or self-created stories. These open up a playful approach to feelings and inner concerns. In this way, we can together discover what is moving your child and develop new ways of dealing with it. Through this process, your child's self-confidence, communicative abilities, and emotional resilience can be strengthened.

Since the most important key to a child's well-being lies within their family, close collaboration with you as parents is particularly important to me. I want to provide you with support and guidance throughout the counselling process so that you can be a reliable and strengthening support for your child.

Note about my practice: As a psychological counsellor, my focus is on prevention and supporting families in crisis. My services are not intended for the diagnosis, treatment, or alleviation of mental health disorders.
