Service Approach
I use evidence-based practice to support, empower, and hold space for you.
How I Work
The foundation of my therapy service lies in Acceptance Commitment Therapy (ACT), a 3rd wave CBT-based approach. ACT is a multifaceted approach that aims to increase our potential to live a full, rich and meaningful life. My approach is centered around 3 processes:​
​
Be Present
Open Up
Do What Matters

Where I Work
Online
I offer online counselling from wherever you are! Online therapy allow young people to reflect on their internal and external experiences in the comfort of their own home. This service is safe, comforting and convenient. While a growing amount of research is suggesting that online therapy (teletherapy) is as effective as in-person therapy, this service may not be the right support in all cases. Some difficulties, such as acute psychological crisis, require intensive in-person care.
In-person
I offer in-person therapy for adolescents and young adults in Kreuzberg, Berlin. In-person sessions allow for mindful and deep psychological work in a safe and comfortable setting.
Service Cost
Sessions are paid privately and are not covered by public health insurance. Depending on your provider, some private health insurances or supplementary insurances cover therapy service under a "Heilpraktiker für Psychotherapie" offer. This needs to be clarified with your individual insurance company.
The benefits of self-paying services are immediate service provision and no beauracratic paperwork. As a privately paying client, your mental health records will remain confidential and will not be communicated to your health insurance company.

Service Information
I received the education and training of a CBT/ ACT therapist and testing psychologist in areas of diagnosis and intensive therapy from an accredited institution in Australia. I am registered and licensed as a “General Psychologist” by the “Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA)”. In Germany, I am registered and licensed to offer therapy under the “Heilpraktikergesetz für Psychotherapie” and hold the title “Heilpraktikerin auf dem Gebiet Psychotherapie”.
I support individuals with processing and overcoming a range of social-emotional difficulties that may impact on their ability to live a meaningful life. Please note that my services here do not constitute psychotherapy in the sense of German psychotherapy regulations (clinical diagnostics & treatment of psychiatric illnesses). If you are experiencing an acute mental health crises and are seeking diagnostics and clinical intervention, please contact a psychotherapist in your area. If you require immediate support, please contact German emergency services (112) or a German suicide hotline (0800 111 0 111). In Berlin, the Sozialpsychiatrischer Dienst is a resource to help you further https://www.berlin.de/lb/psychiatrie/hilfe-in-krisen/sozialpsychiatrische-dienste-der-bezirke/. If you are unsure, you can book a free initial consultation with me and I can help you figure out what is best for you.
