English-speaking psychological counselling in Munich

Support in your own language, in the heart of Munich

Munich is home to a large international community — expats, students, professionals and families who have built a life here across cultures. Finding a psychologist who truly understands you, in the language you feel most yourself in, can make all the difference. Many people find it easier to explore difficult emotions in their mother tongue, and that is exactly what I offer: counselling in English, German (Deutsch) and Greek (Ελληνικά), without anything getting lost in translation.

How I work

My approach is integrative and evidence-based, grounded in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and complemented by Schema Therapy and mindfulness. Above all, it is warm and collaborative. We begin by understanding what is bringing you to counselling, then work together at your pace — building practical tools alongside deeper self-understanding. You do not need to have everything figured out before we start.

Who I help

• Individuals navigating anxiety, stress and burnout, low mood, or life transitions
• Couples working on communication, trust and connection
• Children, adolescents and families
• Expats and internationals facing the unique pressures of living between cultures
• Neurodivergent adults and young people (ADHD, autism)

In person in Munich & online worldwide

Sessions take place in person in Munich or online by secure video or phone — whichever suits your life. Online sessions are equally effective and offer flexibility across schedules and time zones, so location is never a barrier to getting support.
