Life, conflict and developmental counseling
Clarifying experiences, approaching conflicts constructively and growing as a person
As a life and conflict counselor and coach, I support you in taking smaller and larger steps on your personal and professional life journey.
In our conversations, you will find a safe space for addressing stressful or painful experiences, exploring your feelings, thoughts and impulses, recognizing your strengths and weaknesses and taking inner steps to process them. In these processes, we work with the issues that you want to look at by exploring one or more of the following possibilities: Your current experiences, your biographical imprints, your own personal journey through the stages of human development, the shaping of your relationships and your communicative habits, inner or outer conflicts. I support you in identifying and releasing hindering beliefs and habits, as well as in strengthening your personal resilience and resources.
I am happy to support you in expanding your ability to deal constructively with stress, emotional strain and challenges. You will deepen your awareness of your body, your feelings and other inner stimuli and – if you wish – learn about the helpful effects of your imagination, role-playing or exploring dreams as a means of self-awareness and personal growth. In these processes, urgent questions can be clarified, new directions can be found and steps towards change can be realized. And you come into contact with your authentic self, the source of confidence and inner freedom.
For me, counseling does not mean that I tell you what to do. Rather, I offer you a space in which you can explore yourself and – with my support – find the clarifications, attitudes and solutions you are looking for. In this protected space, you can discover new perspectives. You can try out ways of accepting your own weaknesses, building on your strengths and developing your potential.
In my counseling work, I am guided by the person-centered approach to communication and counseling, explorative dialogues, a deep understanding of human development and the pedagogical principles of the Alexander Technique. You can find out more about understanding human development and the STAGES model under Human development / STAGES.
I also love to draw from the rich well of insights from the various wisdom traditions. For me, awareness in daily activities and tasks in combination with times of silence are valuable resources for a constructive life.
Counseling sessions
- I offer counseling and coaching sessions either via Zoom or telephone. Both are well-suited ways for such conversations.
- I offer a free 30-minute conversation in which we can find out whether conversations with me would be just right for you.
- A single counseling session usually lasts 60 minutes. Please contact me by email if you are interested in one or more counseling sessions and if you would like to get more details.
- Psychological counseling in the sense presented here is neither treatment nor therapy. Rather, it is an accompaniment through the opportunities and challenges of life and support in constructively shaping relationships. My counseling sessions do not replace counseling and, if necessary, treatment by a doctor, alternative practitioner or psychological psychotherapist.
