Dipl. Psych. Jana Lemke

English speaking therapist in Berlin

Therapist Jana Lemke

I am Jana Lemke, a post-doctoral psychologist and systemic therapist with an emphasis on mindfulness approaches. 

Based on first-hand experiences and my therapeutic practice I have collected a variety of tools and methods I like to combine such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT), Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT) but also classical systemic tools and methods.

Most importantly, I am an open-minded and compassionate human being. I strongly believe that we are all sitting in the same boat and therefore share the pain and beauty of being alive. For me, that is the foundation of any human encounter including the ones in therapeutic settings.

I am also a yoga teacher, researcher, author and a trained process facilitator in nature.

My passion lies in working with people in times of transition and if possible, in including nature-based practices to support individual processes. 

Even though I am a native Berliner I feel very drawn to natural places as spaces for growth and transformation. I have facilitated and accompanied several programmes for young adults, which included 24-hour solos in the wild as well as a 3-day solo, the so-called vision quest in the wilderness. 

These past years I have intensively worked with mothers (to be) in hospital but also in course and project settings. A current example is the international Mother Nature Project where we develop art- and nature-based courses and materials on the profound process of becoming a mother.
