Maria Karagicheva

I have been working as a psychologist for more than eight years, in private practice as well as with children in orphanages and refugees and migrants in Germany. This experience has taught me to stay curious about each person and find an approach that works for them.

I have also lived in Berlin for the last seven years, so I know how challenging building a life in a new country can be. I'm interested as a professional and a human being in migration, identity and belonging.

My approach is integrative, with a humanistic–existential orientation at its core. I also draw on Existential Analysis, trauma-focused approaches, IFS and current research in neuroscience.

Neurodiversity is another important area of my work. I have a particular interest in ADHD and autism and facilitate a support group for neurodivergent mothers.

In my work I want to help you become more yourself — more alive, authentic and connected to what really matters to you. I take counselling seriously, but I also believe there should be room for warmth, curiosity, laughter and simply being human.
