Narrative Therapy is long established in many English-speaking countries – in Australia, Canada, the UK, and the US. It arose from the conviction that people are more than their problems, and that change begins where they tell their story anew.

I am one of the few therapists in Germany who specialise in this approach. It is innovative, humane, and effective because it helps you regain meaning, scope for action, and self-efficacy – without pigeonholing and without pathologising.

You are not the problem.
The problem is the problem.

*Of course, this applies to all heroes - of every gender and story.

The Hero’s Journey is a powerful model for personal development. Inspired by the work of mythologist Joseph Campbell, it shows up in stories all around the world: a hero sets out, faces challenges, grows from them, and returns transformed. As Christopher Vogler, who introduced the model to Hollywood screenwriters, once put it: “I came to the conviction that the Hero’s Journey is nothing less than a manual for life, a complete guide to the art of being human.”

After all, many transitional phases in real life also follow this structure - whether in professional upheavals, personal crises or moments of reorientation. The Hero's Journey gives these phases a clear framework: Where do I stand? What is challenging me? What do I want to develop?

In coaching, I use the Hero’s Journey to create orientation and help shape ongoing change consciously and with courage.

Dramaturgy helps to see experiences not just as individual events, but in context: What was the starting point? Where were there breaks, turning points, or internal conflicts? What roles were taken on - and what possibilities remain untold?

Storytelling doesn't mean inventing a nice story. It's about better understanding the structure of an experience: red threads, recurring motifs, tensions, values, and possible next steps.

I use dramaturgical thinking to more clearly structure personal, professional, or organisational stories – and to make visible where limiting narratives lose their power and new possibilities for action can emerge.

Particularly helpful for:
Turning points, professional reorientation, identity questions, creative processes, team stories and the question of how a story can be continued without losing oneself.

supports people who live or work in culturally diverse contexts. It helps not only to understand differences, but to engage with them constructively - on a personal, professional, and societal level.
This is not about simplified cultural models or “dos and don’ts.” It’s about cultivating a nuanced, reflective approach to dealing with diversity.

Intercultural coaching offers space to reflect on your own cultural background and patterns of thinking - and how they affect communication, collaboration, and decision-making. At the same time, it sharpens awareness of other perspectives, helping to prevent or resolve misunderstandings and conflict.

Typical coaching questions include:
- How can I act authentically and effectively in an international team?
- How do I deal with culturally-based communication differences?
- How can I reorient and reposition myself after a cultural change?

The goal is not adaptation at any cost - but the ability to act with awareness and integrity.

Systemic Coaching

Systemic coaching is a resource-oriented approach that views individuals in the context of their relationships and environments. The goal is to open up new perspectives, expand the range of possible actions, and enable sustainable change - without offering ready-made solutions.

Solution-Focused Brief Counseling

Solution-focused counseling shifts the focus to goals, resources, and concrete next steps - instead of problems and root causes. It highlights existing strengths and strategies that already work and can be developed further. The method is structured, pragmatic, and forward-looking.

Biographical Writing

Biographical writing is about reflecting on your life and putting it into words. It offers a structured way of approaching your personal story - with the aim of gaining deeper self-understanding, processing life transitions, and (re)discovering your red thread.

What matters here is not “great literature,” but real, honest stories - in your own words.

Creative Writing

Creative writing uses playful, associative, or poetic methods to access inner images, feelings, and ideas. It can be free, evocative, experimental, or surprising – without any claim to „correct“ language or form.

The focus is not on the result, but on the process: Writing often reveals what wasn’t fully visible before.

I work with both forms because they complement each other beautifully:
Biographical writing brings depth. Creative writing brings lightness. Together, they create clarity – and open up new perspectives on one's own experiences.
