English Language Counselling in Hannover-Kleefeld

A SAFE PLACE

As a therapist/ counsellor I am providing a safe space to explore what is happening in your life.

Depression, anxiety, trauma or adverse childhood experiences may bring you to seek psychotherapeutic help. More often than not the reasons why we need help make it hard to come. I can only encourage you to do take the first step. Psychotherapeutic work requires in-depth work and is open ended from the outset. Counselling may be useful when you are experiencing a bereavement or facing a new phase in life, i.e. changing jobs, starting a family, making a commitment in a relationship. A new beginning may involve joy as well as grief. It can be helpful to unpack these feelings even though such experiences are part of what it means to be human.

I am working on-line as well as in-person.

COUNSELLING SINCE 2015

I have been offering counselling/ psychotherapy sessions to international (as well as German) clients in Hannover-Kleefeld since 2015. Having trained at an institute for integrative psychotherapy in London I acquired a license to offer psychotherapeutic services in Germany in 2015 (Heilpraktikerin beschränkt auf das Gebiet der Psychotherapie). I am working with people of all ages and from all walks of life. I work cross culturally and am striving to be sensitive to issues of difference.

It is best to make an appointment for an initial consultation first to see if we can work together. The success of therapy depends to largely on the quality of the relationship we are going to build.

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.

It is not as if I know what is right for you but I will ask questions and summarise/ interpret what you are telling me to help you to understand yourself better. I will be equally attentive to your thoughts and your feelings. One could describe therapeutic work as a quest for truth.

Hopefully you will find that you will find words for experiences you have not been able to talk about before.

It will be equally important to be attentive to your story as to what is happening in the here and now.


Couple Therapy

I am working with individuals as well as with couples. I do believe that we are relational beings and thrive in relationships. I know it is hard - and it is in relationships where we get hurt (often early on).

As an integrative psychotherapist I am using methods from different schools (also) when working with couples. Recently I have completed a foundation training with an institute in Berlin, which focuses on what is happening in the here and now between two people (Differenzierungsbasierte Paartherapie). This school of thought encourages individuality whilst living as a couple. I am combining this training with an analytic school of thought (Tavistock, London), which emphasises the couple state of mind.

English Language Counselling

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.

Grief, Loss, Bereavement

Loss is part of life. Every new beginning entails a loss. However sometimes it is hard to process a loss. In today's society we are expected to function at all times. It is important to give ourselves time to grieve or at least time to remember those we have lost. Sometimes it is ok not to be ok. Grieving is part of what it means to be human.

My location

My practice is conveniently located in Hannover-Kleefeld (near Pferdeturm) within easy reach from Marienstrasse, Kirchrode, Heideviertel, Misburg, the 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.

Psychotherapy and Counselling in Kleefeld

Hannover is well connected to the major German cities in Northern Germany (i.e. Braunschweig). If you are looking for psychotherapeutic help with an English speaking practitioner it may well be worth the journey.

My practice can be reached from Magdeburg, Oldenburg and other cities/ villages in Northern Germany. For example, the train (WFB) between Braunschweig and Hannover takes 45 minutes and there are three trains within an hour.

It takes about 20 minutes from Hannover HBF to Hannover-Kleefeld. The A 2 connects Braunschweig and Hannover. The nearest exit on the Messeschnellweg: Kleefeld. The Messeschnellweg makes Kleefeld accessible from Bemerode, Mittelfeld, Messe and the direction of Langenhagen.

Sessions and Fees

  • A regular therapy (counselling) session lasts 50 minutes and costs 100€ (being the standard price).
  • Couple Counselling sessions last between 60 to 90 minutes and cost between 120€ - 180€.

You can pay via bank transfer as well as via card.


Even though I am licensed to practise in Germany - having trained abroad - health insurance providers do not routinely reimburse psychotherapeutic services by a 'Heilpraktiker für Psychotherapie'. Very few private health insurance providers reimburse the services of a 'Heilpraktiker für Psychotherapie' (sektoraler Heilpraktiker).

Please ask when you cannot afford to pay the full fee on a regular basis. I am operating a sliding scale.

Get in touch

Feel free to contact me if you have any questions about how psychotherapy or counselling works, or to arrange an appointment for an initial assessment. This enables us to discuss the reasons for coming and whether I am the right therapist to help.


You can also call me on 0176 55291540 if you would prefer to leave a message or speak to me first. I am happy to discuss any queries or questions you may have prior to arranging an initial appointment.


All enquires are usually answered within 48 hours (work days), and all contact is strictly confidential and uses and uses secure email services (on my side).
