"Somehow it was nothing
like I had pictured it."
That can be rough. Let's talk about it.
Birth Processing
Not all labour experiences go as planned. And there is a variety of reasons for it. Occasionally, those experiences stick with a person and it's hard to get rid of it. Understanding what has happened matters. To sort thoughts and emotions. To process the entire birth and post birth experience. To eventually feel at ease again.
​
You are not alone. I am here for you.
​
Possible topics: challenging or traumatic birth experience, processing NICU impressions, grief & loss, childbed & postnatal care, changes to the body, baby blues & depressive mood, new identity of being "only a mum / dad", bonding with the baby, staying calm with cry babies, being a couple while being parents, planning parental leave, giving your child a sibling, ...

My Story & Specialisation
I had given birth to a healthy child - or so I thought. A few days later I found myself at NICU where I stayed for 6 long weeks fighting for my childs life.
I've searched for ways to process these experiences. Have made use of various offers. Each one helped me in a way. But there wasn't this one offer that really did the trick for me. Over the last few years I have collected every piece of knowledge and advice, every tool and method that helped me or others. And I've further developed and supplemented these.
Now I am helping others in processing the birth experience and transitioning into parenthood. Because it's about YOU. About your experience. About your feelings. And about doing things your way.

My Backgound
Education & Trainings
After doing my Masters in International Business (MSc) I worked as a business consultant, in executive coaching and organisational change management.
I've heard many times that people don't like to change. I disagree. I've learned: People do like to change. But they don't like to be changed by others. There is the difference. That's why it is important to listen. To see. To understand. And to involve these people.
So, I became a certified systemic coach. Since you cannot change others nor the past systemic coaching is all about possibilities - about (re-)actions, mindset, focus, and co.
​
While creating trainings for employeed I also got certified as trainer for adult education. It was all about methods, didactics, practicality and creating a joyful learning experience.
Additionally, I became a resilience trainer to help others dealing with challenges and stress, avoid burnouts and feel at ease again.
As psychosocial councelor in training and under supervision I've expanded my competences even further: crisis interventions, support during grief and loss, couple therapy, as well as coaching parents, kids and teenagers.
My sessions are very well structured. I also use visualisations and creative techniques while working with clients (based on gestalt and game therapeutic approaches).
My Approach
I am combining psychosocial counseling with training to provide you with everything you need to meet your individual needs and goals.
​
Psychosocial Counseling
You know best what you need - that's the idea behind psychosocial counseling. Thus, you have the solution to all your problems - even if you cannot see the solution just yet. That's what I am here for. To ask the right questions. To use interventions strategically and help you mobilise your resources. To take on different perspectives. And to come up with your own solution step by step.
​
Psychoeducation
Sometimes, clients want to understand the problem better in order to grasp how things are related and to act accordingly. Therefore, psychoeducation includes for instance explanations regarding bodily and mental reactions. As well as referrals to medical, social or legal experts depending on subject matters.
​
Training
During training sessions I provide you with a save space to try out new things. You tell me what feels authentic to you and together we will practice the transition into your daily routine.
​
Videos and Audios
Moreover, I am providing videos and audios tailored to your individual needs where necessary. They will help you deal with emotions, feel yourself again, cope with stress and fear, and re-gain a wholesome state of mind.
