Individual psychotherapy for privately insured and self-paying patients
Alongside my work as a medical expert, I offer individual psychotherapy provided by a physician for privately insured and self-paying patients. Our personal consultation focuses on your symptoms, your circumstances and your individual treatment goals. During the initial consultation, we discuss whether treatment is appropriate and what form it may take.
Appointments are by arrangement. You will receive information about the process and fees before treatment begins. Privately insured patients should clarify possible reimbursement with their insurer in advance; coverage depends on the individual policy. Enquire about an initial psychotherapy consultation.
My areas of expertise
My professional work encompasses the diagnosis, treatment and social-medical assessment of mental and psychosomatic disorders. I combine current scientific knowledge with many years of clinical experience as a specialist in psychosomatic medicine and psychotherapy and as Medical Director and Head Physician.
Psychosomatic medicine
Psychological stress and physical symptoms often interact closely. Many people experience chronic pain, exhaustion, sleep disturbances, gastrointestinal complaints or cardiovascular symptoms that cannot be explained solely by physical causes.
Psychosomatic medicine addresses the interplay between the body, mind and life circumstances. The aim is to understand the individual causes and maintaining factors of an illness and develop an appropriate treatment and coping approach.
Conditions treated include depression, anxiety disorders, somatoform disorders, stress reactions, adjustment disorders and psychosomatic symptoms.
Trauma-related disorders
Distressing or traumatic experiences can have lasting effects on emotional wellbeing. Many people affected experience recurring memories, sleep disturbances, inner restlessness, avoidance, concentration difficulties or emotional overwhelm.
A focus of my work is the treatment of trauma-related disorders, including post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and complex trauma-related disorders. I use modern trauma therapy methods and integrative treatment approaches tailored to individual needs.
The aim is to achieve stabilisation, process distressing experiences and regain a sense of safety, quality of life and the ability to act.
Burnout and stress medicine
Persistent stress at work or in private life can lead to substantial mental and physical exhaustion. Those affected often report concentration difficulties, sleep disturbances, emotional exhaustion, reduced performance and a feeling of being constantly overwhelmed.
Early recognition and treatment of stress-related conditions is important in preventing long-term health consequences. The focus is on analysing individual stressors, developing suitable coping strategies and fostering lasting psychological stability.
I have particular experience in treating executives, people with high levels of professional responsibility and patients experiencing complex stress and strain.
Anxiety disorders and depression
Anxiety disorders and depression are among the most common mental health conditions. They can substantially affect professional, social and private life.
Typical symptoms include persistent low mood, loss of interest, inner restlessness, worry, panic attacks, avoidance, reduced motivation and sleep disturbances.
A thorough diagnostic assessment forms the basis of individually tailored treatment. The aim is to reduce symptoms, strengthen personal resources and restore quality of life and resilience over the longer term.
Social medicine and rehabilitation
Mental and psychosomatic disorders often affect the ability to work, employment and participation in society. Social medicine considers how health-related limitations can be assessed and which measures can support vocational and social reintegration.
My many years of work in rehabilitation and as Medical Director and Head Physician have given me extensive experience in social-medical issues. These include assessments of functional capacity, rehabilitation prognosis, work-related resilience and the evaluation of participation and support needs.
