Psychotherapy, trauma therapy and couples therapy in Hannover

A warm welcome to my private practice in Hannover. Choosing the right psychological support is the first and most important step on your way to a better quality of life. As an experienced Systemische Therapeutin (DGSF) (systemic therapist, DGSF-certified), I offer you individual and empathetic guidance in the heart of Hannover.

In my psychotherapeutic conversations I look at the person as a whole. That also includes the dynamics of your family of origin and their formative influence on your personality, as well as your current interpersonal relationships.

Range of services: psychotherapy and trauma therapy Hannover

Which method is used in psychotherapy depends on your individual symptoms, the nature of the condition and your personal openness. Alongside systemic therapy I integrate other scientifically grounded methods such as behavioural therapy, solution-focused dialogue, and proven approaches from trauma therapy (incl. EMDR).

Benefit from my many years of professional experience in the treatment of:

• anxiety and panic attacks
• burnout and states of exhaustion
• depression
• obsessive-compulsive disorders
• trauma and stress-related disorders
• self-esteem problems

Couples therapy in Hannover: resolving conflicts and overcoming crises

In couples therapy I support you and your partner in constructively working through entrenched conflicts, acute crises and communication problems.

Common topics in couples counselling are:

• Communication and trust: clearing up misunderstandings and finding your way back to each other.
• Relationship dynamics: dealing with infidelity, jealousy or fear of loss.
• Intimacy: rekindling passion in long-term relationships.
• Biographical influences: how traumatic experiences or each partner’s family of origin affect the present relationship.

Here too we use, among other things, the systemic approach, in order to open up the view of the other person’s perspective and to work out new ways forward. You can find out more about the other methods used under the menu item “Couples therapy”.

How it works and the initial consultation in my practice or online

Before psychotherapy, trauma therapy or couples therapy begins, I invite you to my practice for a no-obligation initial consultation. This appointment is there for us to get to know each other and to clarify your concern. Together we agree on how to proceed, so as to ensure the best possible therapeutic process.

• Central location: My practice is in the centre of Hannover (very close to the main station) and is easy to reach.
• Video consultation: For patients I already know I also offer online therapy sessions by video consultation, by arrangement. New clients are warmly invited to an initial consultation, by video session if they prefer.
