Clinical Supervision, Coaching & Counselling in Berlin – Professional support for individuals, teams and leaders
Are you looking for more clarity, orientation and inner stability in your professional life?
Or are you facing complex professional or personal questions you would like to reflect on?
I offer supervision and coaching for individuals and teams, particularly in educational, social and international work contexts. Together, we reflect on challenges, strengthen resources and develop new perspectives.
Clinical Supervision & Coaching
In everyday professional life, there is often little opportunity to pause and reflect on one’s own practice. Clinical supervision offers a protected and professional framework for this reflection.
As a clinical supervisor, I support you in discussing your case work, exploring your professional situation, your role, your responsibilities and the conditions of your work context in a differentiated way. Together, we develop new perspectives, clarify possibilities for action and strengthen your professional competence.
Your individual experiences and skills as well as the structural and organisational conditions of your work field are integrated into the process.

Psychological Counselling
Are you going through a rough patch?
Are you facing a major transition or an important decision?
Do you find yourself going over the same questions again and again?
There are moments in life when it can be helpful to reflect with the support of a professional and neutral person from outside the situation.
In psychological counselling, I offer a protected space where you can explore your concerns. I listen to you. And together we structure what feels unclear, gain new perspectives, and develop meaningful next steps.
International Schools
I support counselors, psychologists, support teams and educational staff in international schools in Berlin with clinical supervision, systemic consulting and reflective practice.
My work combines psychological expertise with a deep understanding of the German educational support system (SIBUZ) — helping international school professionals navigate complex cases, strengthen resilience and improve collaboration.
Clinical Supervision for counsellors, psychologists and support teams
Sessions provide a confidential and structured space to reflect on:
- complex cases (systemic & trauma-informed perspective)
- professional identity, boundaries and role development
- emotional load, self-care and resilience
- collaboration with teachers, families and external partners
- ethical questions and decision-making
Consulting: Navigating the German System
International schools often collaborate with external services but may not be familiar with the German structures. I offer tailored consulting on:
- how the German school psychology system (SIBUZ) works
- referral pathways for students and families
- cooperation with youth services and external institutions
- safeguarding responsibilities in the German context
- inclusion and support structures specific to Berlin
About me
I am a graduate psychologist (Diplom-Psychologin) with over 20 years of professional experience in educational and pedagogical settings, including work as a school psychologist, counsellor and teacher. This long-standing practice forms the foundation of my work today as a supervisor and coach.
My professional development is shaped by systemic, solution-focused and trauma-sensitive approaches, which provide a solid methodological and professional basis for my work.
I am a member of the German Association for Supervision and Coaching (DGSv) and the Systemic Society (SG) and work in accordance with recognised systemic and psychological professional standards.
My biography is strongly influenced by international and intercultural experiences. I lived in Finland for ten years, and further periods of study and life took me to France and the United States. These experiences enrich my work with people from diverse professional and cultural backgrounds.
Counselling, supervision and coaching are offered in German, English or Finnish.
