After having lived in Scotland for over 14 years and previously in the US for one year, my English is fluent. I trained as a Clinical Psychologist at the University of Edinburgh and graduated in 2016, after which I worked in the National Health Service (Lanarkshire, Scotland) and in independent practice until 2021.

​

As someone who has lived in foreign countries with initially less than fluent language skills, I know how important it can be to find someone to whom you can express yourself in the semantical intricacies of your own language.

 

In addition, I have personal experience of finding my way in foreign places and the difficulties that may be associated with finding new social circles, fitting into a new work environment, getting to grips with bureaucracy and various public services.

​

I can offer you an empathic, warm and safe environment to speak about current challenges in your life, that may be related to family, romantic, work or social relationships, grief and bereavement, stress and burnout, decision making as well as personal identity development .

​

Please note that I do not currently offer "Psychotherapy" which is, according to German law, the use of the healing arts to improve the wellbeing of mentally ill people, ie with a diagnosis of mental illness. In order to practice as a psychotherapist, my British degree (D.Clin.Psych.) needs to undergo a comparison of equivalency at the regional council in Stuttgart, which I am currently persuing to receive my "Approbation" in Baden-Württemberg, Germany. As  result, I only accept self-paying customers. Health insurers do not cover counselling for people without a diagnosis of mental illness.
