Online & In-Person
Integrative Counselling &
Psychotherapy
Life brings many challenges, and it is understandable that at times we might look for support in facing them. As a counsellor my role is to provide space and guidance to help you on your journey of self-discovery; to enable you to examine your life and make new, meaningful choices within it
I am providing a non-judgemental space to talk about what is happening in your life. Sometimes in life it can be helpful to talk to someone who is not part of your network.
Psychotherapy & Counselling
It will be unclear how many sessions you need when you start therapy/counselling. We will discuss this during the first sessions.
Short-Term counselling has the ending in mind from the beginning. We will agree on a set number of sessions and a particular focus for the work.
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.
Long-Term therapy is open-ended and therefore less structured time wise. It offers the opportunity to work at a deeper level.
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.
What is Trauma?
Trauma is an experience, which disrupts healthy functioning in the 'here and now'.
It can be caused by a single incident - e.g. a road accident - or through repeated adverse experiences - e.g. childhood neglect.
It takes time to heal traumatic wounds but it is possible. You will choose your own pace.
English Language Counselling/ Counselling for Expats
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.

Student Counselling
Being a student is an exciting experience. However, it can also feel overwhelming and isolating. Sometimes it may raise complicated questions such as: Am I studying what I want? Am I good enough?
I am offering counselling sessions for students at reduced rate for 60 – 80 € (depending on your financial situation.
Hannover-Kleefeld
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).
Get in touch
Sometimes the very issues why you are seeking help, make it hard to come.
I can only encourage you to take the first step and book an appointment for an initial consultation.
This enables us to discuss your reasons for coming and whether we can work together.
You can also call me on 0176 55291540 if you would prefer to leave a message or speak to me first. I am happy to discuss any queries or questions you may have prior to arranging an initial appointment.
All enquires are usually answered within 48 hours (work days), and all contact is strictly confidential and uses secure email services (on my side).
