Goals
Together we "explore" their situation, their experiences, thoughts & behavior.
- Changes arise from new learning experiences (emotional, cognitive)
- to take active action
Who does what?
The things that lead to improvement lie within you.
This means: Your active participation is needed! (within and outside of meetings )
My role: To guide you, ask questions, develop insights, show you ways and strategies, and demonstrate implementation in everyday life.
Learning processes & behavior
Throughout our lives, we are confronted with different (challenging) life situations.
We must learn to deal with these and adapt to new circumstances in this way.
Learning processes therefore play a central role in our behavior.
Humans are constantly learning and remain capable of learning well into old age.
Our behavior and experiences are shaped by the interplay of several factors (biological, social, psychological aspects).
Therefore, all these aspects must be taken into account in a treatment.
Key areas
✓ Fears & Phobias
✓ Depression
✓ Crises & challenging situations
✓ Personal development

clinical-psychological diagnostics
My focus is on psychological therapy .
Therefore, I only offer diagnostics as part of a treatment and not as a standalone service.
That means:
✓ Investigation of the causes, triggers & mechanisms
✓ Collaborative development of solutions
✓ If necessary: Application of procedures (e.g. questionnaires)
✓ Preparation of brief reports
x no expert report preparation ( e.g. ADHD, autism, ...)
x no performance diagnostics (e.g. attention, intelligence)
