I generally work transparently and within the realm of the conscious. I do not use hypnosis or any method in which the client is placed in a trance state. Unconscious beliefs and behavioural patterns are examined together with the client at their pace. It is important to me that the client alone decides how “deep” they want to go and what they want to reveal about themselves. This is different for everyone and there is no right or wrong. I want my client to understand my approach from the beginning to the end. There are no secrets or mysteries in what I do! My goal is for my client to achieve clarity for him-/herself and to live more and more mindfully.

Here are methods I use and some fundaments that my work is based on

  • Iceberg model, from the Coaching Spirale (Alexandra Schwarz-Schilling, Christin Colli)
  • Identity model, according to Coaching Spirale
  • Rational emotive behaviour therapy, by Albert Ellis
  • Constructivism, by Paul Watzlawick
  • Client centred counselling, by Carl R. Rogers
  • Non-violent communication, according to Marshall B. Rosenberg
  • Inner team model, by Friedemann Schulz von Thun
  • The Enneagram
