You notice that you’re losing your balance and that this is affecting how you feel, think or function in everyday life. Perhaps you understand a lot on a rational level, but feel that it isn’t really helping you yet. During our sessions, I’ll help you reflect on what’s going on beneath the surface and how your body, thoughts and feelings are reacting to it. In a safe and calm setting, we’ll explore these patterns and develop ways for you to deal with them differently, so that you can start to feel more confident, balanced and in control again.
I can support you with questions about
Stress, burnout & recovery
You realise that you’ve been ‘pushing on’ for a long time and are now experiencing symptoms that you can no longer ignore.
- You feel tense, tired or irritable
- You’re finding it almost impossible to relax
- Your mind is constantly ‘on’
- You’re wondering how you can recover in a sustainable way without relapsing
Physical symptoms with a psychological component
When symptoms persist, this often leads to uncertainty or a fear that they will get worse.
- Recurring abdominal symptoms, tension or other physical signs
- Fear of symptoms occurring at important moments
- Being preoccupied with what your body is doing or might do
- The desire to regain confidence in your body
Anxiety, worrying & control
Rationally, you often know that something isn’t necessary, but you still feel uneasy.
- Recurring ‘what if’ thoughts
- Difficulty letting go or trusting
- A need for control, which is also exhausting
- The desire to experience peace without having to understand everything
Traumatic events, trauma & grief
Sometimes an event leaves a deeper mark than you might have expected. Even if you’ve ‘moved on’, it may be that something continues to affect you.
- A one-off traumatic event that still preoccupies you
- Memories that come to mind unexpectedly
- Loss or grief that hasn’t been properly processed
- The feeling that you’re stuck between understanding and feeling
- The desire to come to terms with an experience and be able to look back on it with greater peace of mind
Personal patterns & deeper understanding
Sometimes you don’t get stuck on a single problem, but on recurring patterns.
- Constantly adapting yourself or pushing yourself beyond your limits
- Struggling to reflect on what you yourself need
- The feeling that there is “something underlying”
- The desire to understand yourself better and, based on that, make different choices
This is how I work
I always begin by carefully exploring your issue and the context in which it arose. We take the time to clarify what is going on, what is troubling you and what you would like to change. In doing so, I look not only at your symptoms, but also at how you are used to dealing with thoughts, emotions and challenges.
My approach to counselling is person-centred and goal-oriented. This means that, together, we explore which patterns are at play and which insights can help facilitate change. This can take place whilst walking in nature or at my practice on Parnassusweg. I take a reflective and practical approach, tailored to what you need in your process. Where appropriate, I use proven methods such as hypnosis, EMDR or mindfulness, always tailored to your needs and pace. There is space to pause, explore in depth and develop new perspectives.
In practical terms, we work within a clear, tailor-made programme. Between sessions, you may be given specific reflection exercises or points to consider to help you apply your insights to your daily life. You can expect committed, safe and clear guidance, focused on change that is understandable, practical and meaningful.
