Counselling

Life can be overwhelming.

We all face moments of crisis or change where we are unsure about what our next step should be. We sometimes struggle with personal or professional challenges including navigating the complexities of living between multiple cultures.   

Asking for professional help is not easy but it is the right thing to do, to help you cope. 

Why I can help you and how: I am a psychologist and have worked as a counsellor for more than 20 years. I work with adults, teenagers and children.

My approach is tailored to your circumstances, helping you uncover your strengths, manage conflicts, and find lasting solutions that truly fit your life. 

In my practice you will find a supportive space where you can reflect, explore possibilities, and move forward with greater resilience. My approach is culture sensitive, where cultural nuances are respected, and the potential impact of migration experiences, discrimination and trauma are recognised. 

Coaching and development

If you are struggling with or questioning who you are and your sense of belonging, whether in your family, your friends circle or in society, and looking for new perspectives OR

If you are going through a period of crisis in your life through separation or death of someone close to you or having to make difficult decisions regarding the balance between your personal life and professional life OR

If you are dealing with stress at work or at home OR

If you want to identify personal and work-related goals OR

If you want to improve Communication skills both in your personal and professional life

Systemic Family Therapy

While our families are the most important part of all our lives, conflict with partners or parents or children create stress.  I can help you improve family relationships and communication by providing you the tools to resolve these conflicts and strengthen parenting skills. I work with individuals or multiple family members as required.
The systemic approch views problems in the context of relationships rather than as individual issues. It focuses on strengths and resources to develop solutions instead of focusing on problems and deficits. 

Mediation

Mediation is a structured and voluntary method of resolving disputes with the help of a neutral third party, the Mediator.  The goal is to facilitate constructive communication and negotiation that can lead to a win-win outcome that considers everyone’s interests. 

I have had specialised training in Mediation and can offer mediation in the context of families, in social institutions or in any context where cultural differences play a large role in the conflict situations. 
 

Profile

I grew up in India and came to Germany to study where I have now lived and worked in Germany for 35 years. I completed my studies and my PhD in Psychology at the University of Heidelberg.

My therapy training in Clinical Hypnosis and in Systemic Family Therapy have given me the methodology and tools for my role as a counsellor, along with the my training in Psychoimaginative Trauma Therapy. I am a trained Mediator.

I have worked for over 20 years in the Psychological Counselling Centre, Caritas Heidelberg and have teaching experience at the University and the Teachers Training College (Pädagogische Hochschule). I enjoy giving lectures and training programmes on topics related to children and their growth, especially on building resilience, understanding challenging behaviour and finding a means to reconnect to children and adolescents.
