Initial consultation
It's important to find the right counsellor and the right approach for you. That's why we start with an initial consultation. In the initial consultation I will ask you to tell me more about what's going on for you at the moment and about what you would like from counseling.
Then we can explore together your options for different ways of working. I want to find out how I can tailor my skills and experience to working effectively with you as an individual. So the initial consultation will be your first step in getting the right support for you.

About me I trained as a counselor in the UK and I've had my private practice in Berlin for 9 years and have enjoyed working with expats here from all over the world. There are so many ways to approach counseling. I find it important to meet with you and get your input into the best style of counseling for you. The way we work together is going to depend on your goals from counseling and on what feels helpful for you as an individual. For some people counseling can be a helpful space to explore who they are, where they're heading and can help them to understand themselves better. For others, it is more helpful to be much more focused on targeting a specific change they want to see in their lives. Some find it helpful to talk through difficult episodes in their childhood or at other times in their life, whereas for others it makes more sense to focus more on goals for the future. Whether you're looking for ongoing support to work on things over a longer period of time, or for just a few sessions to get things going in a more helpful direction in your life, I will work in a way that supports you to make the sessions beneficial to you. So, for my way of working it is important to meet with you first and get to know a little bit about you. Then we will discuss how we might work together to best fit your needs. The main approaches I provide are: IFS (Internal Family Systems Therapy) SFT (Solution-focused therapy) CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy) ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy) |
