Areas of practice 

If you're looking for confidential and compassionate consultation and treatment in the areas of psychotherapy and counselling, you've come to the right place.

I mainly work with people facing depression, anxiety, OCD, trauma, addiction, stress, self-esteem, relationship- and identity issues.

Although I studied cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT) I tend to work holistically, drawing on ideas, methods and resources from various schools of thought. These include schema-focused therapy, trauma therapy (IRRT, brain spotting, SEI), ACT and person-centered therapy, among others.

I am a clinical psychologist and am licensed to practice psychotherapy in Germany by the Alternative Medical Practitioners Act (HPG).


Costs for Psychotherapy and Counseling

All sessions cost €95 for 60 minutes. Some private health insurance policies might cover the cost of psychotherapy, but state insurance wont. Please talk to your insurance company or me personally about that.

About me

What makes me the person I am? Here are a few words to try to give you a bit of an impression: Family and friendships. Travelling and discovering new cultures. Laughing heartily but also thinking about the deeper issues of life. The sea. English humour. Keeping fit. Watching football. My Christian faith.

As for my cv

I was born in the UK in 1970. I studied Clinical Psychology at Exeter University and in Aix-en-Provence, France. Having graduated, I went on to spend three years working as a teacher in Prague. I´ve lived in Germany since 1995. After a placement in the Psychiatric Clinic in Heidenheim, I continued my studies in CBT for a further two years. From 1998-2007 I lead the Giengen State Church Counseling Center (CtL) with nine members of staff. I`ve been working in my own private practice since 2008, taking regular courses to further my skills and having regular supervision with my medical colleagues.

I have three children and am part of the Brückengemeinde Church in Heidenheim.
