Psychotherapy

It might be meaningful to consider psychotherapy if …

• You feel an overwhelming, prolonged sense of helplessness and sadness.
• Your problems don't seem to get better despite your efforts and help from family and friends.
• You find it difficult to concentrate on work assignments or to carry out other everyday activities.
• You worry excessively, expect the worst or are constantly on the edge.
• Your actions, such as drinking too much alcohol, using drugs or being aggressive, are harming you or others.
• You feel lost and unsure about your sense of purpose, meaning of life.
• You feel the compelling need to get to know yourself better in order to be able to construct a satisfied life.

Or if any of the following sentences feels right to you…

• I often feel sick, even though my doctor says there is nothing wrong with me and the medical findings don’t indicate any illness.
• Since some time I can only sustain myself with the help of stimulants, tranquilizers or sleeping pills.
• Without apparent reasons I get a heart-throb and intense fear, that I might be dying.
• I suffer from anxieties that burden and restrict my life (from contact with people around me, from authorities, from big open spaces, from tight places, from exams, etc.).
• There are certain feelings that overpower me and which I cannot discuss with anyone (shame, hate, guilt, or the sense of being observed or followed by someone else, etc.).
• I often lack drive and feel exhausted. I constantly have a sense of being unable to cope and can’t resolve the situation I am in.
• My vitality and spontaneity have disappeared and I don’t feel joy in life.
• I am sad and lonely.
• There have been radical changes in my life. I feel under tremendous pressure (unemployment, separation or divorce, financial debt, serious illness, or death of a loved one, etc.).
• Lately I have been thinking about suicide.
• I feel constantly challenged and unable to deal with my children.
• When I cut or burn myself on purpose, I feel relieved afterwards.
• The relationship to my partner is weighing me down.
• I have recurrent problems with others at my workplace, which puts me under great stress.
• I am afraid I am addicted to alcohol, drugs, food, shopping, love, gambling, the internet, etc.
• I feel innerly compelled to always think or do the same (compulsive washing, locking, speculate, etc.) even though this restricts my life very much.
• I should utilise my abilities better, but I don’t know how.
• I feel confused about my sexuality.
• I am afraid of making decisions and this disturbs me.
• I would like to tap my full potential but I am clueless about where to begin.
• I want to have a healthy and satisfying life, but I don’t know how.

I offer psychotherapy in English, German and Bulgarian, in individual, couple and group setting.
