When Life gets hard
A space for you. Calm, present, and safe.
It’s not about fixing problems.
It’s about finding ground again, step by step.
So you can feel your own stability returning.
Present.
Reliable.
In times of crisis, it’s not always about finding solutions.
Sometimes it’s about having something to hold on to.
I accompany you when everything feels unsteady; with calm, presence, and a safe space.
At your pace, and in the way that feels right.
How I accompany you
Present, attentive, human.
Trauma-sensitive and existentially grounded.
As much structure as helps you to feel safe.
As much space as you need.
I bring experience, diverse training, and depth.
Above all, genuine presence.
I don’t work as a therapist. I don’t diagnose, and I don’t treat.
I accompany.
Support in Times of Crisis & Change
What it’s all about
A space for everything: pain, fear, emptiness, hope.
Find steadiness, feel your breath, regain orientation.
Step by step, returning to strength and trust.
No pressure, no “fixing”!
Instead, presence and genuine companionship.
Methods I draw from
◉ Neurosystemic Integration (NI)
◉ Trauma-sensible accompaniment
◉ Existential coaching
◉ Hakomi (body-psychotherapeutic approach)
◉ Holistic Bodywork (body-therapeutic approach)
◉ Hypnobreath (breathwork) & hypnosis
I know what it feels like to be different. To not quite belong, to adapt in order to be accepted.
I know how it is when closeness is missing, when people feel unreachable, or when you carry responsibility that was never really yours.
My path has not been easy or straight. I’ve learned to live with breaks, rejection, and wordlessness, and still keep looking for connection.
I know the struggle for orientation, the endurance of pain, and the longing for a place where one can simply be.
Today, I bring all of this into my work: the ability to stay when it hurts, the courage to look closer, and the trust that, even in difficult times, stability and new strength can grow — step by step.
My work combines approaches that engage body, mind, and emotion equally, because crises rarely begin or end “in the head.”
Trauma-sensitive Coaching & Neurosystemic Integration (NI)
Gently dissolve blockages and strengthen inner resources.
Hakomi – Mindfulness-based Body Psychotherapy

Note: I do not work as a therapist. I do not diagnose, treat, or provide therapy.
Crises don’t need a plan. They need a safe space.
I work in the way I would have needed it myself during difficult times:
Integrity & confidentiality
You can trust that this space is protected.
Holding space instead of offering recipes
I stay with you, even in uncertainty, pain, or not-knowing.
Presence & embodiment
I work with what is tangible, not only with words.
Respectful confrontation
When it’s helpful, I name patterns clearly — without judgment.
Who this is for
- People in personal transitions: separation, loss, illness, or existential questions
- Leaders and professionals facing exhaustion, overload, or loss of meaning
- Couples or individuals caught in repeating or stuck patterns
- Mature personalities willing to look honestly, without formulas, but with openness to what truly works
How I work
- First conversation: a quiet exchange to see if and how accompaniment makes sense right now.
- Starting point: we begin only when you feel safe, and together we choose what feels right for you.
- Relationship-oriented: development needs trust; the pace follows your experience, not a set goal.
- You in the driver’s seat: you decide what has space. I hold, mirror, and accompany — without pressure or expectation.
- Depth over speed: crises don’t need quick steps; even small movements can bring real change.
What you can expect
- A safe, clear space — grounded in presence, attentiveness, and a trauma-sensitive attitude.
- Work with methods that connect body, feeling, and thought — allowing orientation and stability to grow from within.
- Support that strengthens — not by giving answers, but by helping self-responsibility take root.
