About me

Hi there, I am a psychologist from Germany with an academic background in clinical Psychology from Amsterdam (BSc) and Vienna (MSc). Currently, I am advancing my expertise through Psychotherapy Training in Hamburg. I am passionate about providing psychological counselling regarding a wide array of challenges. My experience includes supporting clients dealing with relationship struggles (e.g. codependence), emotional and attachment issues, addictions, and personality disorders. Please note: I offer online psychological counselling, which does not replace traditional face-to-face psychotherapy. Online counselling is effective for many but it is not a sufficient substitute in every case. If you are uncertain about what treatment you require, feel free to book a free initial session. Together, we can explore the most suitable path for you.

My approach

I believe that the effectiveness of a coach-client relationship depends on a couple of things. First of all, one needs to be willing to dive deeply into one's emotional, social and motivational patterns. That can be challenging at first as we in this modern era are trained to constantly distract ourselves from our emotions and pains. Yet, the only way out is through! That can be exhausting but the rewards are usually quite exciting! Yet, it is unrealistic to think that we can force ourselves to be willing all the time, sometimes we need to take a closer look at the nature of our resistance before we can move on. Secondly, it is also easy to get caught up in the emotional healing work that can actually take many years and necessitates a deep therapeutic process. As a coach, I'm trying to strike that necessary balance between healing and taking action. I try to help my client unhook themselves from the past and focus on the present and immediate future. One way to achieve may be to state intentions together. Lastly, I recognise that we can't really know in advance if we will have a good working alliance, which is why the first session is always free. Afterwards you can decide whether or not it will be in the Highest Good for you to go on with me. I wish you all the best on your journey! Anton
