Training in London
German born I have lived and worked in London for almost two decades, where I also trained as a psychotherapist. On my return to Germany I acquired a licence to practice here (Heilpraktikerin für Psychotherapie) - and I have been seeing international clients in Hannover ever since.
Long-Term and Short-Term
I am offering long-term and short-term interventions.
Short-term counselling has a specific focus and a set number of sessions. It can help with everyday issues like work stress, parenting challenges, or coping with physical illness, ageing, or bereavement.
Long-term therapy is more open-ended and allows for deeper work. It is appropriate for depression, anxiety, trauma, or adverse childhood experiences.
English Language Counselling/ Counselling for Expats
If you are new to Germany you may find it quite hard to learn the language. Not knowing a language may lead to difficult feelings of displacement or low self esteem. These can also be discussed during the counselling sessions. Psychotherapy (as well as counselling) in my experience works well even when English (or German) is your second language.

Integrative Work
Integrative Psychotherapy uses tools and insights from many different psychotherapeutic schools to understand what is going on in your life.
My basic orientation is analytic but I am also trained to work humanistically and use interventions from body work as well as CBT. Most recently, I have integrated mindfulness into my work.
Hannover-Kleefeld
My practice is conveniently located in Hannover-Kleefeld (near Pferdeturm) within easy reach from Marienstrasse, Kirchrode, Heideviertel, Misburg, Hannover City Centre as well as Zooviertel, Bult and Südstadt Local Map. The nearest Strassenbahn stop (U-Bahn) is Kantplatz (line 4 and 5). The 127 bus from Misburg stops at Kantplatz as well as the 137. From Kantplatz it is a two minutes walk to the counselling practice in Hannover-Kleefeld.
Session Fees - Private Pay
A regular therapy session is 50 minutes long and costs 120€.
I am operating a sliding scale based on your financial circumstances (60 € - 120 €).
A couple session lasts at least 60 minutes and costs 140 € (longer sessions will be more expensive). It is possible to reduce session rates depending on your financial situation.
Whilst I am licensed to practice in Germany, only very few private health insurance providers cover services from a 'Heilpraktiker für Psychotherapie'.

This will allow us to talk about why you're seeking help and see if we can work together. If you'd rather leave a message or talk to me first, you can call me at 0175 3491572.
