If you have no prior experience with counseling, you may be wondering what to expect and what happens during a session.

 

To put it simply: we mainly sit and talk.

​

I provide a safe space for joint reflection, while offering new perspectives, and exploring possibilities and options together.

In detail:

​

Psychosocial counseling

​

One focus of the work is on the psyche - emotions, needs, our personal stories and the inner parts that we all carry within us.

​

It's about understanding ourselves, preferably with curiosity and without judgment: "Ah, that's why I'm like this." or simply "Oh, this is how I am."

​

Not always easy, but often a very helpful step on the way to change.

Psychosocial counseling

​

Another important part of counseling is the part that lies outside of us:

Our relationships and how we live them.

 

We are inevitably connected to others in our lives and when we encounter other people, their experiences might differ quite a lot from those that we have had.

​

Understanding how we interact with each other, what other people trigger in us, and which reactions have something to do with us and which perhaps less so, is a central part of seeing ourselves in the context of our environment.

Psychosocial counseling

​

Unfortunately, I was not involved in the creation of the name for the profession, otherwise I would probably have chosen a term other than "counseling".

 

The aim of our work together is not to give you advice and tell you what you should do or how you should do something. Rather, it is about finding your answer to your question or your solution to your situation. And this is often easier with a person from outside than having to figure everything out on your own.

Depending on whether you come alone or together (i.e. as partners or family), there is a bit of a difference in the way the sessions are structured.
