How I work.
Systemic, solution-focused, resource-based. Always with an eye on the person — not only the problem.
A systemic view.
Problems rarely arise in a vacuum. In systemic work we look at the contexts you live in — family, relationship, work, life phase.
A brief overview of the systemic toolkit.
Typical methods I draw on.
Which tool fits when — we decide together. A selection from the systemic repertoire:
- 01
Genogram
A family tree across several generations. Makes visible which themes, roles and loyalties repeat within the system.
- 02
Systemic constellation
With small figures or in the room, we set up relationships. Closeness, distance and constellations become physically tangible.
- 03
Circular questioning
"What would your sister say if…?" — perspective shifts that set rigid views back in motion.
- 04
Miracle question
"Suppose your concern were solved overnight — what would be the first thing you notice tomorrow morning?" Opens the view for goals and resources.
- 05
Scaling questions
On a scale of 1 to 10: where are you today, and what small step would move you half a level forward?
- 06
Reframing
Placing a behaviour or symptom in a new interpretive frame — recognising its function or its good reason.
- 07
Externalisation
Separating the problem from the person: instead of "I am exhausted" → "Exhaustion is visiting." Creates distance and room to act.
- 08
Contract & goal clarification
Precisely naming together what you actually want to work on — and regularly checking whether we are on track.
Respectful & multi-partial
You set the pace and the topics. I stand by your side — without judgment, without taking sides, even when several people are in the room.
Solution-focused
We do not get lost in describing the problem. Our attention turns to what already works, and to what you actually want to change.
Resource-based
Every person already brings a lot. We make your strengths, experiences and inner resources visible and usable — even in hard times.
Varied & fitting
Conversation, constellation work, imagery, psychoeducation, concrete exercises for everyday life. We choose together what fits you and your situation.
