The solutions to our problems are within us. To access this wisdom, we need a safe space to feel accepted, seen and heard. From this, willingness and courage emerge and the process of change begins.

In working with me, clients can expect a structured and practical approach to counselling. I operate from the understanding that individuals have the potential to solve their problems with the right coaching from a counsellor who can provide new perspectives. Greater self-understanding will be fostered and you will learn skills to functionally address problems and to better manage emotional discomfort.

People are the experts in their own lives. This is why supporting the individual in being his or her own therapist is the primary purpose of my work as a Danish- and English-speaking clinical psychologist working in Berlin. Together we’ll explore the past and present narratives of your life and help to thicken those which reveal ability and positive attributes.

  • transactional analysis

***Please note I am accepting new clients as of mid-January 2020.***

I use Transactional Analysis as my main theoretical framework. With its clear structure it helps to understand why we can get stuck in confusion and repetitive behaviours in our private and professional lives. As an English and German-speaking counsellor and therapist in Berlin, I have personal experiences living in different cultures and being challenged by new and unknown situations.
