Emotional and physical well-being influence and condition each other. This balance can be disrupted by stressful life events, learned behaviours and perceptions, and unconscious psychological conflicts.

In order to change these processes, it is essential to recognise emotions and unfavourable patterns of perception and behaviour.

Dealing with inner tensions and unpleasant emotions can be learned and practised.

The focus of my work is, on the one hand, on overcoming current problems and everyday difficulties and, on the other hand, on developing an understanding of the underlying causes.

This insight is important for initiating active change processes and formulating concrete goals based on it.

Would you like to break new ground or understand yourself better? I look forward to supporting you in this process.
