New English-Speaking Therapy Group – Now Open for Applications
(Update: 23. March 2025)
I want to announce the start of a weekly psychotherapy group conducted in English. This group offers a structured and supportive setting for individuals seeking professional therapeutic guidance in a collaborative environment. The costs are covered by private or public health insurance. Each session will last 100 minutes. The specific weekday for the sessions is yet to be determined and I plan to take participant availability into account.
Certain psychological conditions particularly benefit from a group setting, as shared experiences and interactions can enhance self-awareness, allow for past experiences to surface and be worked on and promote personal growth. To determine whether group therapy is a suitable option, we will begin with at least two individual sessions to assess your specific needs and therapeutic goals. The group provides a safe and confidential space for meaningful exchange, guided by a qualified therapist.
If you are interested or would like further information, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Leben im Umbruch - Therapiegruppe bei Belastungen durch Veränderungen, Lebenskrisen oder Trauer
(Update: 1. März 2025)
Ich plane die Gruppe im März zu beginnen und suche noch Teilnehmer:innen. Die Gruppe richtet sich an alle: gesetzlich Versicherte, Privatversicherte und Selbstzahler.
Persönliche Veränderungen, wie ein neuer Lebensabschnitt oder eine einschneidende Entscheidung, können herausfordernd sein. Berufliche Veränderungen, etwa ein Jobwechsel oder plötzliche Unsicherheiten im Arbeitsleben, können Ängste und Stress auslösen. Familiäre Einschnitte, wie der Verlust eines geliebten Menschen oder eine Trennung, hinterlassen oft tiefe emotionale Spuren. Auch gesundheitliche Herausforderungen, sei es durch eine Krankheit oder eine unerwartete Diagnose, können das seelische Gleichgewicht ins Wanken bringen. Unsere Therapiegruppe “Leben im Umbruch” bietet einen sicheren und unterstützenden Raum, um diese herausfordernden Phasen gemeinsam zu bewältigen. In der Gruppe können Sie Ihre Erfahrungen teilen, Verständnis und Unterstützung finden und neue Wege entdecken, um mit den emotionalen Belastungen umzugehen. Unter professioneller Leitung arbeiten wir daran, Resilienz zu stärken, Emotionen zu bearbeiten und einen konstruktiven Umgang mit Veränderungen zu entwickeln. Zusammen schaffen wir ein Umfeld, in dem Sie sich verstanden und nicht allein fühlen, während Sie diese Lebensübergänge meistern.

Being able to work in a group often triggers ambivalent feelings. Great concerns and great curiosity alternate.
Many people experience the idea of showing their own conflicts, blockades and emotions in a group as threatening or filled with shame. “No, that’s nothing for me”, is often the immediate reaction. Followed by the question: “Is there even enough time for me?”
And that’s where the curiosity about what would happen in a group shows. Individual therapy – many people have an idea of this. But in a group?
Benefits of Working in a Group
Diverse feedback and communications from other members can be very valuable. You are not alone with your issue. Others feel the same way, or have experienced something similar before–or they worry that they might feel the same way and express great interest and compassion. Experiencing this at the beginning of treatment can be a great relief.
Conflicts, Relationships and Communication
The reasons for starting therapy are often closely linked to relationships with other people. The relationship with your partner, mother, children, boss, siblings. If only they weren’t there–then everything would be fine!
In normal everyday life it is almost impossible to separate relationship problems from the conflicts experienced, because there is always something at stake. The group is a unique setting in which relationship dynamics can be worked on. Blockades and deficits in the ability to relate to others are activated in the dynamics of the group. The processing of which happens in the group and guided by the therapist.
The aim is to better understand old dynamics and recurring patterns, to try new things based on the knowledge, to practice and ultimately to improve the emotional experience in such situations.
Group Coherence and Social Energy
The feeling of belonging (in German: Wir-Gefühl) that often arises in groups is experienced as a sense of community or togetherness, which is also referred to as cohesion. A positive group feeling can inspire and it has been shown that greater group cohesion has a positive effect on the therapeutic process.
Humans are social animals or group creatures. Even if “time for me alone” is important, we spend many important stages of our life in groups, starting as a kid in a family, then school, the clique, work, partnership, social media, our own family, sports clubs, interest groups–the list goes on. And it becomes clear that many conflicts arise in exactly the same groups: at home, in the schoolyard, at work, in childhood, in a new city.
Group therapy enables you to experience this connection, to create cohesion, to create social energy, and to work on your problems in this context.
