Originally established by Sigmund Freud (1856 – 1939), psychoanalysis has since been broadly developed, theoretically expanded and adapted to diverse mental problems. As a scientifically verified method, the discipline offers the theoretical and practical background for psychoanalytic counselling, psychotherapy and coaching.

Psychoanalysis is based on the notion that unconscious drives influence our behaviour in relationships and professional life more than we would like – indeed, that we frequently know what we want to change and yet are unable to achieve it.

The psychoanalytic method enables the access to these unconscious motivations at the core of the problem through conversation. This helps to understand why certain situations lead to unwanted behaviours or why certain challenges are difficult to meet. The limiting negative emotions can be thus reduced.

During two to three appointments, I devise a first clarification of your situation and your individual problems. We then also discuss which personal treatment I can offer you.

Psychotherapy helps to stabilise the mental state and general wellbeing, and to clarify an acute conflict-ridden situation. Moreover, it offers the possibility to explore unconscious subject matter that negatively impact everyday behaviours. The framework of psychotherapy enables to approach a multitude of mental problems and their symptoms. A psychoanalytical therapy takes place one to two times a week while seated.

The classical psychoanalysis, with three to four hours per week in a lying position, offers the space and time for an enduring mental transformation. Lying down helps to better concentrate on one’s own inner world, thereby enabling an intense process. A deepened understanding of oneself leads to an improved ability to manage conflicts, to the clarification of one’s own desires and overall to an improvement of one’s quality of life. 

Coaching aims to deal with specific questions, primarily in a professional context. Our behaviours in leadership, management and work are also partially governed by unconscious mental processes.

Understanding one’s personal goals and obstacles in the professional context helps to overcome barriers, insecurities and conflicts at work. Further, it enables to access one’s creativity and productivity. 

Die persönlichen Ziele und Hindernisse im beruflichen Kontext besser zu kennen, hilft beim Abbau von arbeitsbezogenen Blockaden, Unsicherheiten und Konflikten. Eigene Kreativität und Produktivität werden zugänglich.

Due to my professional practice, I am particularly experienced with the coaching of questions concerning studies, education and career:

• Writer’s block and learning inhibitions
• Procrastination, decision-making difficulties
• Anxiety in exam and presentation situations
• Conflicts in the work place

I offer workshops about the following topics; however, please contact me if you would like to request another topic. 

• Conflict management
