Life can be hard, lonely, feel cruel or empty. It’s easy to feel overwhelmed or stuck. Therapy can ease your suffering, enable release and grant insight. It can help you cope more easily and move forward.I can offer you a safe, caring space to be heard and will explore with you, without judgement, the things that feel difficult for you.
The first thing I would like to say about me is that I don’t judge and don’t reject. Over the 27 years that I have specialised in working with people in deep distress my clients have found me to be patient, consistent, and emotionally available.

I strive to provide a welcoming and supportive environment that helps people to work through issues they would like to overcome. When problems feel overwhelming and become unmanageable, it can be helpful to speak to someone who is objective, empathetic and non-judgemental.

I offer short-term individual therapy - using CBT and solution-focused techniques - as well as longer term therapy following psycho-dynamic and other treatment models. Rather than using a single approach I use what I believe will best suit the client's needs.

In this collective dream & nightmare of ours, it is important to hold on to the individual meaning it has for everyone individually...that way lies sanity. Community will then arise out of allowing for difference.Following on from my working experience over the recent pandemic years, I have decided to provide an almost exclusively online based service, which is delivered and experienced very much 'face-to-face' and 'in person'.

Certain feelings or memories can be difficult to share, even with those close to us. It might be something that happened to you, something you witnessed, or something you carried for so long it felt normal — until it didn’t. Maybe it’s something that was never really yours, yet you still find yourself holding onto it.The longer we carry these experiences, the heavier they can begin to feel. You may notice it in your body — a weight on your chest, tight shoulders, or the sense of being stuck or wanting to run away.

My approach is integrative, which means I draw on a range of theoretical models depending on what each person brings, rather than following a single fixed method.

Many of the people I work with function well on the outside, yet inwardly struggle with attachment wounds, past trauma, or patterns that leave them feeling overwhelmed, stuck, and disconnected from themselves. Often, this includes feeling cut off from the body and from deeper emotions. In relationships, they may find it hard to express their needs or to feel truly seen and heard. Many have tried therapy before and understood their patterns cognitively, yet found that something still did not shift.This is often where an embodied and somatic approach can be especially helpful.

The corona crisis has come to an end, yet it is still impacting on many people’s lives. The way we used to live has changed and we needed to adapt to the new “normal”.Sometimes we might feel that things are just getting too much, or we want to look at something specific which is bothering us.Feeling overwhelmed, frustrated, anxious, worn out, depressed and stressed are just some of the many ways we might react to what is happening around us and within us.Looking for help is not a sign of defeat, not now and not ever; it should be seen as a way we can look after ourselves in these trying…

There are times in everyone’s life when it’s difficult to solve our problems on our own. We may find that our difficulties are more persistent and deep-seated in some way, and that there is a nagging sense of something not being right.

We may find it difficult to manage our anger, feel depressed, anxious, lacking in self-esteem and confidence, struggling with questions about life and love, finding it difficult to make…
People come to me usually when the circumstances of their life have moved them beyond their usual coping strategies and they are no longer able to orient themselves in their world. Together we make meaning so they can find their true North again and understand what is happening in their life. Usually, such crisis takes us deeper into who we are and force us to get to know ourselves at a more profound level, and during this process self-compassion and self-love grow, as we get to know ourselves better and honour the process of maturation and growth we are on. So the pain turns into something…

Seeking a German-speaking psychotherapist is often essential when supporting someone whose first language is German, particularly when discussing sensitive emotional or psychological issues. Therapy requires nuanced communication, and many clients find it difficult to fully express complex feelings, childhood experiences, or trauma in a second language. For employers in London with German-speaking staff, providing access to mother-tongue mental health services can be part of duty of care obligations and employee wellbeing programmes. Family members and friends of German speakers also frequently seek therapists who can communicate effectively without language barriers that might hinder therapeutic progress.
London is home to one of the largest German-speaking communities in the United Kingdom, with estimates suggesting between 50,000 and 100,000 German nationals residing in the capital, alongside many Austrians, Swiss, and other German speakers. This community includes professionals in finance, technology, academia, and the creative industries, as well as families and students. The demand for German-language services, including psychotherapy, has grown steadily, and many practices now offer dedicated German-speaking clinicians to serve this population.
In the United Kingdom, psychotherapists must be registered with a recognised professional body such as the UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP), the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), or the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) for certain titles. German-trained psychotherapists can practise in the UK, but they typically need to have their qualifications assessed and gain registration with one of these bodies. Many German-speaking therapists in London are either UK-trained bilinguals or have completed additional training to meet British standards. When referring or seeking a therapist for a German-speaking individual, it is important to verify both their professional registration in the UK and their language proficiency.
Choosing the right German-speaking psychotherapist involves several considerations beyond language ability. Verify that the therapist holds current registration with a UK regulatory body and check their areas of specialisation, whether that is trauma, depression, anxiety, or relationship issues. Cultural competence matters significantly; a therapist familiar with German cultural norms, communication styles, and the challenges of living abroad can provide more effective support. Ask about their fluency level, whether they are native speakers or learned German to a professional standard, and whether they conduct sessions entirely in German or offer bilingual flexibility. Personal rapport is also crucial in therapy, so many professionals offer initial consultations to assess fit.
Psychotherapy costs in London vary depending on the therapist's experience, qualifications, and location. Private sessions with German-speaking psychotherapists typically range from £80 to £150 per fifty-minute session, with some senior practitioners or specialists charging up to £200. Many therapists offer an initial assessment at a similar rate. Some German-speaking therapists work with private health insurance providers such as Bupa, AXA, or Cigna, which may cover part or all of the cost if the client holds an appropriate policy. A smaller number offer reduced-fee or sliding-scale slots for those with financial constraints. Corporate employers sometimes arrange employee assistance programmes that include access to multilingual therapy services at no direct cost to the employee.
