How I work

How i work

I’m a certified Jungian psychoanalyst trained in Zurich,working online and in person from private practice in Berlin, for the last eight years. My work aims to help individuals find purpose and restore meaning in their life. I am specialized in working through loss, existential crises, trauma, and difficult life transitions. For this purpose, I work with dreams, active imagination, creativity, play, and active listening, as part of the therapeutic process. I offer counselling and Jungian analysis to individuals in English, Swedish, and German. I am available to meet with clients for online counselling as well as in person in Berlin. I offer training analysis for trainees in training programs in Analytical Psychology as well as supervision consultations.

 

Psychologist Carl Gustav Jung wrote that nobody as long as he moves about among the chaotic currents of life is without trouble. As an English-speaking Jungian psychoanalyst in Berlin, my work is to support individuals in navigating the chaos, trouble, and suffering that everyday life entails.
​
Through mutual exploration, it is possible to better understand some of the underlying currents that shape our lives. Psychoanalysis views human behavior and motivations as partly driven by unconscious conflicts, complexes, and trauma, some of which are based in childhood experiences. By connecting with dreams, imagination, memory, the therapeutic process can help a process of healing to take place.
​
Symptoms such as panic attacks, anxiety, compulsions, and psychosomatic problems are, from a psychoanalytic lens, not always something that should be simply removed through treatment. Rather, they can also be understood as signs with a certain message; signs which call for a change in how to live one's life.

​

I offer Jungian Psychoanalysis, Training analysis and Counseling in English, German and Swedish at Mittelweg 50 in Neukölln, Berlin, Germany. I am licensed as Heilpraktiker for psychotherapy in Germany. I don't work with public insurances.  I am available to meet with clients internationally independent of location through the secure platform, It's Complicated.

Where to find me
Jungian Psychology

Jungian Psychology

The Jungian approach to psychoanalysis is a creative one in which the search for meaning and purpose is central. While many modern psychologies merely see psychological suffering and its related symptoms as something best cured with short-term therapy and/or anti-depressive medication, the Jungian approach views problems also a possibility for personal renewal and a positive change in life through the deepening of the life experience.

​

In Jungian psychology, the emphasis is put on empathy and the inter-subjective relationship between the patient and therapist. Jungian psychoanalysis is an explorative and collaborative process where the therapist and client together seek to identify the underlying causes of suffering and personal conflicts. It seeks the root cause and meaning behind the symptoms in order to establish a new path in life that enables development and healing.

​

A Jungian analysis often involves meeting one to two 50-minute hours per week. This will be adjusted to your current life situation. I meet with patients online or in Berlin.

 

I offer training analysis for individuals in training programs in Analytical Psychology as well as supervision for psychotherapists and counsellors in Berlin interested in the Jungian approach. My focus is on a relational way of working with one-to-one adult clients in long-term psychotherapy. I integrate principles from Jungian analysis, dreamwork, and psychoanalysis. I draw on experiences of working in a variety of settings with a diverse range of clients and complexity of psychological needs.
