A Safe Space
As a therapist/ counsellor I am providing a safe space to explore what is happening in your life.
Whatever is happening to you/ or has happened, I will listen to your story - be equally attentive to your thoughts and feelings. This will help you to understand yourself better, to make more informed choices in your life.
I am very experienced having worked with international (as well as German) clients in Hannover and in London for almost two decades.
In Hannover-Kleefeld I have been seeing clients in private practice since 2015.
I am working on-line as well as in-person.
Psychotherapy & Counselling
Many issues can bring you to Counselling/ Therapy:
Depression, anxiety, trauma or adverse childhood experiences may bring you to seek psychotherapeutic help. Psychotherapeutic work requires in-depth work and is open ended from the outset.
Counselling may be useful for every day issues. You may struggle at work, face a new challenge in your life, i.e. as a parent or deal with the experience of physical illness.
Ageing or bereavement may be another reason to book counselling sessions.
I work cross culturally with people from all walks of life - and aim to be sensitive to issues of difference.
How does psychotherapy work?
Therapy is a place where you can practice how to relate.
As human beings we thrive in relationships but in relationships we get hurt as well.
Unfortunately, we may bring past hurt to present relationships.
Understanding ourselves will help breaking familiar pattern.
There are many different psychotherapeutic schools. Integrative psychotherapy (and counselling) uses insights from many different schools of thought to tailor the treatment to your nee
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.

Bereavement Counselling
Loss is part of life. Every new beginning entails a loss. Even the end of a day can be a little sad. However sometimes it is hard to process a loss. In today's society we are expected to function at all times. Sometimes it is okay, not to be okay.
Grieving is part of what it means to be human. It is important to give ourselves time to grieve or at least time to remember those we have lost.
And yet we do want to feel better.
It helps to remember why people we have lost were so important to us. We may learn to become grateful for the past.
Sometimes complicated feelings make that hard like anger or regret. These need to be acknowledged, too.
Sadness is part of life. If we allow ourselves to feel sad, we can also feel real joy. A lot of depression is caused by avoiding the painful feelings of loss and sadness.
Bereavement Counselling works with these complicated thoughts and feelings.
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 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.
Session Fees
A regular therapy (counselling) session lasts 50 minutes and costs 120€ (being the standard price).
However it is possible to negotiate the price depending on your income/financial situation.
You can pay via bank transfer as well as via card.
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).
Even though I am licensed to practise in Germany, very few private health insurance providers reimburse the services of a 'Heilpraktiker für Psychotherapie' (sektoraler Heilpraktiker). State funded health care providers no longer reimburse the services of a 'Heilpraktiker'.
