Psychotherapy (Heilpraktikergesetz) and Systemic Therapy in Munich

Psychotherapy offers guidance when emotional burdens reach an intensity that sustainably affects daily life, relationships, or your overall sense of well-being. In my practice for Systemic Therapy & Systemic Counselling in Munich, I accompany you with an integrative approach that focuses on the methods of Systemic Therapy. Reflecting on biographical events can help to better understand your present experiences.

Our therapeutic collaboration

My therapeutic practice is based on closely attended process facilitation, one that offers gentle guidance and insights without imposing a set direction.

The aim is to reflect your desires for change within a space of mindful, active resonance, ensuring that both the pace and depth of our work are guided entirely by your personal needs.

While I view profound personal growth as a process that matures gradually over time, I also recognise that even the smallest shift can bring about meaningful change to the entire system.

Areas of Therapeutic Support

When a persistent loss of vitality impacts daily life, interests fade noticeably into the background, and concentration declines, therapeutic support offers a structured way forward.

Together, we will work to understand current stressors, discover new perspectives on managing your symptoms, and gradually rebuild your energy and daily routine.

  • Exhaustion and fatigue

  • Persistent low mood

  • Loss of joy and interest

Depression & Burnout

Depression may manifest as:

Severe worry, panic attacks, or specific phobias can profoundly affect quality of life and limit your personal freedom of action.

Exploring the wider context of these feelings helps us understand their function within the whole system. This awareness allows us to bring flexibility to entrenched patterns and, step by step, rediscover a sense of safety in everyday life.

  • Withdrawal and a sense of constriction

  • Avoidance and shame

  • Palpitations, breathing difficulties, and sweating

Anxiety, Panic & Phobias

Anxiety disorders may manifest as:

Crisis-inducing events, such as a separation or loss, can temporarily destabilise well-established daily routines and your psychological balance.

When processing these profound changes requires time, therapeutic support offers a safe and stabilising framework to gradually regain orientation and emotional security.

  • Separations and losses

  • Overwhelming grief and a sense of disorientation

  • Major life transitions

Grief, Separation, Crises

This distress may be triggered by:

When substances or media occupy a significant part of life, less space remains for other things. This often affects the social environment as well, particularly when loved ones attempt to compensate for the resulting strain.

The focus of therapeutic support is on exploring motivation prior to detoxification, as well as providing stabilising aftercare following a completed treatment. The aim is to reinforce relapse prevention within your familiar environment and to offer guidance to family members.

  • A strong craving for a substance

  • Loss of control over consumption

  • Increasing neglect of social contacts or hobbies

Addiction, Dependency & Co-dependency

Signs may include:

Please note: This practice does not provide detoxification or withdrawal treatments; these strictly require medical supervision and clinical care.

The deep-seated need to balance inner restlessness and find stability can manifest in recurring rituals or persistent thought loops.

The aim of therapeutic support is to gradually make a sense of safety tangible as you explore new and unfamiliar paths.

  • Persistent, distressing thoughts

  • Repetitive actions

  • The struggle to resist and feelings of shame

Obsessions, Compulsions & the Need for Control

Compulsions and obsessions may manifest as:

When emotional distress seeks a voice, when the body expresses what cannot be spoken, or when chronic pain without a clear cause impacts daily life, gently tuning into the interplay between mind and body can help us understand symptoms as signposts to guide you back to a new sense of balance.

  • Persistent physical symptoms without a sufficient organic cause

  • Functional difficulties (e.g. in the gastrointestinal tract, cardiovascular system, or muscle tension)

  • Excessive preoccupation or worry regarding these bodily responses

Psychosomatic Symptoms

These symptoms may express as:
