Psychotherapy & Culturally Sensitive Coaching in Berlin-Friedrichshain –

between transitions and new beginnings

Welcome to Beyond the Story.

Beyond the story – towards what truly carries you.

What if… this was the beginning of a new chapter?

I offer psychotherapy in Berlin-Friedrichshain and coaching for expats and international professionals – culturally sensitive, biographical, and with space for what needs to be told.

As a licensed psychotherapist (Heilpraktikerin für Psychotherapie) and intercultural coach, I support people who are at a turning point, seeking new orientation, or looking to find grounding after a significant life event.

My approach combines narrative therapy, biographical work, intercultural coaching and creative methods – in English or German. In Berlin or online

For anyone seeking orientation, inner clarity, or a new way to tell their story – beyond clichés.

Psychotherapy in Berlin-Friedrichshain

for turning points, crises, and new narratives

As a licensed alternative psychotherapist, I offer sessions in German or English – in person in Berlin-Friedrichshain or online.

Many people who come to me say: “I can’t go on like this.” They find themselves in transition, experiencing inner restlessness, or facing a biographical crossroads.

Whatever is with you right now - it has its story. And so do you.

I offer psychotherapy in Berlin-Friedrichshain for people navigating major life transitions – with cultural sensitivity, presence, and at eye level. In my Berlin-Friedrichshain practice or online – in German and English

If you feel ready to rewrite your story, you’re in the right place.

Coaching for Expats & International Professionals in Berlin between cultures, roles, and life designs

zwischen Kulturen, Rollen und Lebensentwürfen

Living between two worlds? Many expats and international professionals experience tension, identity challenges, or a sense of not truly belonging anywhere. My coaching supports you in finding orientation, gaining clarity, and redefining your place – culturally sensitive, appreciative, and using narrative and intercultural methods.

Coaching is available in English or clear, simple German – in person in Berlin-Friedrichshain or online.

“There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you.”

What’s your story?

🔸 Are you living through a drama, a crisis - or a new beginning?

🔸 What’s challenging you right now?

🔸 Where do you feel stuck?

🔸 Which turning points have shaped your life?

And most of all: How do you want your story to unfold from here?

👉 We’ll explore the answers through your personal life narrative.

Narrative Therapy is more than just talking.

We all tell ourselves stories - about who we are, what we’ve experienced, and how the world works. These narratives shape how we see the world - and how we see ourselves.

Together, we’ll unravel outdated patterns and make room for new possibilities. Your experiences will become part of a strong, coherent life story. You’ll find your red thread and gain trust in what lies ahead.

What makes my approach different?

👍 I don’t analyze you - I listen to the stories you tell.

👍 I truly listen when you speak.

👍 I ask questions without judgment.

👍 I don’t work from a template - but I use well-founded therapeutic and academic methods.

The TED Talk “The Danger of a Single Story” by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie powerfully shows how limiting it can be to reduce people to a single narrative.
It invites us to explore new perspectives - and discover the full depth of our own narrative.
