Individual therapy for adults

Cognitive-behavioral therapy as the methodological foundation, complemented by schema therapy and a depth-psychology lens. In English and German.

Methods

Three complementary approaches

Cognitive-behavioral therapy

Classical and contemporary CBT: cognitive restructuring, exposure work, behavioral activation, structured problem-solving. Complemented by third-wave methods — mindfulness, acceptance, self-compassion practices.

Schema therapy

Following Jeffrey Young: work with early-formed patterns (schemas) that continue to shape relationships, self-image, and emotional reactivity in adult life. Particularly effective with chronic difficulties and personality structures that conflict with each other.

Depth-psychology lens

Decades of independent engagement with Jungian analytical psychology — useful for working with recurring patterns, dreams, and transference dynamics, while staying anchored in the structured discipline of evidence-based therapy.
