Systemic counselling and therapies in Sandton

Your experience and adventures as well as your goals are my top priority

A moment of change

Do you often ask yourself whether and how things can go on like this?

Do you feel unbalanced – tired, exhausted and restless at the same time?
Do you have self-doubt and your inner voice is full of criticism and fear?
Do you have the feeling of being far away from your wishes and goals and are you increasingly hopeless?
Are you discouraged and only reactive?
Do you have a lot of thoughts and ideas, but you can't sort or concentrate properly?

What is systemic consulting?

Systemic counselling is suitable for those phases of life in which you have the feeling that you can no longer cope with your everyday life. For those moments when you’re stuck and somehow can’t get any further yourself. We all often face hurdles – but sometimes they just seem too high and we experience a crisis, a phase of being overwhelmed or of upheaval.

People experience these phases very differently – many are simply overwhelmed, exhausted and very tired. Others can hardly sleep and are always restless. Most lose joy in everyday life, feel tense, irritable, hopeless, and become embittered. Many also have anxiety and depressive episodes. Systemic counselling helps to try out different methods, to get out of this situation and to break new ground.

With the systemic approach, we focus particularly on your strengths and what helps you in dealing with challenges. We reflect on how much we have already achieved, how we did it and what we can learn from difficult situations in the past. I myself try to approach personal crises in this way – because I know from personal experience phases of being overwhelmed when you want to give up.

Systemic counselling is a generic term for various counselling formats (social counselling, couple or family counselling, coaching, mediation, supervision, organizational counselling). The boundaries between systemic counselling and therapy are fluid.

We focus on the concerns and wishes of the client – because we are convinced that you know best what is good for you. I chose the systemic training because the values of acceptance, empathy, impartiality and appreciation are particularly important to me.

Many clients are concerned that we only focus on their worries, fears and problems during therapy – but in systemic counselling we activate a person’s resources in order to realize individual goals and changes in a self-reliant and self-organized manner.

I offer individual counselling in the following situations:

Dissatisfaction with your work or current life situation as well as conflicts in your professional and private environment.
Personal crises such as loss, trauma, separation and professional changes.
Mental health problems such as fears, depression, burn-out and addictions.
Looking for new perspectives, room for manoeuvre and goals
Find individual solutions to recognize and use strengths and abilities.

I work with couples on the following challenges:

Relationship conflicts and crises.
Communication and mediation.
Separation or divorce.
Breach of trust, cheating, or turning points in the relationship.

For those who want to take care of themselves.

What systemic methods are there?

The family constellation has primarily become known as a systemic method – but there are many more systemic methods and I would like to name a few methods here as examples:

Reinterpretation: Together we discuss what their painful experiences or emotions reveal about them. For example, our fears are not just exhausting, but also a good indication of what is particularly important to us as a person.
Change of perspective: Together we consider how other people around you assess their current situation. This helps us to develop new ideas and perspectives and is particularly helpful in situations where we have become entangled in a certain point of view.
Focus on resources: Together we look at what is already going well in their lives and how we can strengthen these positive things.

How does systemic counselling differ from psychotherapy?

Let’s imagine your life as a voyage – then the systemic counselling resembles a voyage on a river under the guidance of a very experienced and wise captain who can give you tips as well as new perspectives and ideas and offers support to make your voyage easier and more beautiful becomes. In psychotherapy, you dive deep into the sea to look around, learn about your surroundings, and understand yourself and your behaviour as best you can. You will be accompanied by an experienced deep diver who can sometimes see or understand the seabed better than you and can guide you.

What is the difference between systemic consulting and coaching?

My coaching helps you with your professional and personal development and gives you clarity for difficult and far-reaching decisions. Systemic counselling focuses on your mental health and stability and helps in phases of life when you need some support to be able to master your everyday life again.
