The Problem With Finding English-Speaking Therapy in Europe
You live in Berlin, Amsterdam, Barcelona, or Prague. You speak English as your primary language. And when you need therapy, you discover that finding a qualified English-speaking therapist is surprisingly difficult. Waiting lists are months long. The few available practitioners charge premium rates for “international” sessions. Or the fit just is not right.
This is the reality for millions of English-speaking professionals across Europe -- expats, remote workers, dual nationals, and anyone who thinks and feels more fluently in English than in their country of residence's language.
Working with a therapist who is based in Germany, registered with the BDP, and conducts all sessions in English solves this. No language barrier. No waiting list. No compromise on quality.
Audio-Only by Design
All sessions are camera-off. This is a clinical choice. Without video, you can focus entirely on what you are saying and feeling. You can do sessions from a quiet room, during a lunch break, or while walking.
For mobile professionals who move between cities or work from home, audio-only means therapy fits your life wherever you are. Research shows equivalent outcomes to face-to-face therapy with greater self-disclosure. Read the evidence.
What I Work With
Anxiety and Burnout
Work stress, perfectionism, panic attacks, and the pressure of performing in a second language and culture every day.
Expat Identity
Not quite belonging anywhere. The identity shifts that come with living abroad long-term, and the grief of the life you left behind.
DPDR and Dissociation
Depersonalization, derealization, feeling unreal or detached. A clinical specialism with structured treatment protocols.
Trauma and Depression
PTSD, complex trauma, persistent low mood, emotional numbness, and depression that a change of scenery did not fix.
I also work with addiction, relationship difficulties, and sex therapy. More about my approach.
Specialist in Depersonalization (DPDR)
Depersonalization is one of my core clinical specialisms. The disorientation of living between languages and cultures can trigger or worsen DPDR. If this resonates, I have specific training and lived experience in treating it.
