My approach
I work within the tradition of depth psychology and psychoanalysis — an approach that takes the inner world of children and adolescents seriously.
Talking and listening
I create a space where children and young people can express what they experience and feel — at their own pace.
Play therapy — for younger children
Young children often cannot put their experiences into words. Through play, I help them process emotions and find new ways of relating to the world.
Parent consultations
Parents are a central part of the process. Regular conversations help you understand your child better and support them at home.
Costs & Insurance
No referral from a GP or paediatrician is needed to start therapy.
My practice is fully licensed for statutory health insurance. Therapy is covered at no cost to you.
This applies to all children and adolescents insured under German GKV — including expat families with German public insurance.
Privately insured patients are welcome. Please check with your insurer in advance about reimbursement conditions.
If you hold international health insurance, reimbursement may be possible. Please contact your provider to clarify coverage before your first appointment.
Self-funded therapy is also possible. Please get in touch to discuss fees.
