About me

“To me, counselling means reason, empathy and genuine collaboration.”

Between business and counselling

As a business administration graduate specialising in financial management, I have held leadership responsibility myself. I know the pressure, the expectations and the dynamics of that world from personal experience – and I understand why substances or habits so often become a way of coping there.

My professional path

Since completing my Master of Science in addiction support, I have worked in addiction care for more than 15 years, many of them as head of an addiction counselling centre and outpatient facilities.

My approach

No outdated theories, no lectures. What matters to me is a reliable working relationship, your self-efficacy and solutions that hold up in real life.

Frequently asked questions

Contact →
Will what I share stay confidential?

Yes. Everything you tell me is treated in strict confidence. I do not pass anything on to third parties without your explicit consent.

Will my health insurer or employer find out?

No. As a self-payer you come to me directly and I do not bill your health insurer. Your employer will not hear anything from me.

Will my health insurance cover the costs?

Counselling and coaching are a self-pay service. Statutory health insurers usually do not cover the costs.

Do I need a referral or any preparation?

No. You can contact me directly – by phone, WhatsApp or email.

What happens in the orientation session?

In 30 minutes you tell me what is on your mind – as much or as little as you like. We find out whether the chemistry is right and whether my offer suits your situation. Afterwards, you decide in your own time whether to continue.

How many appointments will I need?

That varies a great deal. After the orientation session we agree on frequency and scope together and adjust both as we go.
