Welcome

Hi, I’m Anna.

 

I offer psychotherapy and coaching, helping people become happier, healthier, and more self-aware every day.​ I work with individuals & groups in German, English, and Russian – both online and in-person in Berlin.

 

I work integratively, focusing above all on what supports you in your unique situation. My core training is in Gestalt therapy. In addition, I draw on the systemic approach, body-oriented techniques, art therapy, and guided imagery. I have a specialization in Body-Oriented Therapy and Work with Sexuality

My path

My path into psychotherapy has been anything but conventional. I studied humanities, social sciences, and economics before dedicating myself to psychology. My professional journey led me through academia (I have a PhD), international relations, strategy consulting, and a corporate headquarters, a famous opera house, as well as a boutique shop for plant art. :-) I have lived in various countries, including Ukraine, France, Israel, Germany, and China. I am divorced and I have a doggo with floppy ears. All these experiences allow me to understand my clients in very unique ways.

help process your experience, and navigate change.

PSYCHOTHERAPY
I work with clients on a wide range of topics, including:
• Relationship crises
• Depressive episodes
• Anxiety, stress, burnout
• Trauma
• Emigration and other significant life transitions

My goal is to help you understand your emotions and reactions more deeply, let go of outdated patterns, and open yourself up to new experiences and possibilities. Sometimes that means taking risks; other times, it’s about small steps towards big change.
In my presence, you can be your authentic self – without fear, shame, or guilt. I’m on your side.

1:1 COACHING
In my capacity as a coach, I support your personal development and professional growth.
You might benefit from coaching if you want to:
• clarify your personal and professional path
• define what you truly want from life
• discover resources and strategies to overcome challenges and reach your goals

With nearly 20 years of experience in management consulting, corporations, politics, and global institutions, I can help you find your individual path and navigate its challenges while also staying true to yourself.

What clients say?

we are challenged to change ourselves.”

CREATIVE THERAPY LAB
Creative Therapy Lab is a space for those who want to:
  • explore themselves and their relationship with the world around them
  • look into challenges that may arise in relationships with others
  • discover new forms of self-expression and personal growth
  • give themselves time and space to simply be
What to expect:
  • coming back to the “here and now”
  • rebuilding inner resources
  • movement and body awareness
  • creative methods of emotional and physical self-expression
  • self-support tools
  • human warmth, connection, and support
  • insights into relevant psychological topics
Creative Therapy Lab is a very special project of mine.
It’s based on my own signature approach, combining various therapeutic, body-oriented, and creative methods.
And yes — it’s also a lot of fun. ;)
