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.
