Career Coaching
Career Coaching in Cologne – in English
Do you want to reorient yourself professionally, take the next career step, handle conflicts better or get out of stress? I support you in gaining clarity and finding your way.
How I can support you
As a systemic coach and Heilpraktiker für Psychotherapie, I help you find out what really matters to you – from professional reorientation to sustainable burnout prevention.
Reorientation
Where do you want to go professionally?
Career step
Making clear decisions
Stress & burnout prevention
Finding your balance again
Conflicts
With colleagues or managers
Communication & presence
In meetings, negotiations and conversations
Dissatisfaction
At work or in your private life
Gaining room to manoeuvre
Career questions are often life questions. Is it about your professional path – or about how you want to live?
Coaching helps people gain more freedom.
Solutions, resources, possibilities for change – they are usually already there. We just don't see them: out of habit, because we are torn between conflicting needs, or because stress patterns narrow our room to manoeuvre.
Coaching widens that room again. It gives us back the freedom to think differently.
“What would your work need to look like to give you energy?”
My approach: Understand – Embody – Change
Coaching becomes even more effective when the body is involved.
Understand
We clarify what it is really about: your needs, values and goals – and what has been holding you back.
Embody
New experiences become tangible. We anchor them in the body so that they hold up in difficult situations.
Change
We put things into practice – with clear steps and new options for action.

Coaching with psychotherapeutic expertise: As a Heilpraktiker für Psychotherapie (licensed under German law to practise psychotherapy), I recognise when there is more behind a professional issue – and can then also offer therapeutic support.
Changing beliefs and patterns
Behind situations where we feel stuck, there are often sentences we learned early on:
“I have to please everyone.” – “I mustn't make mistakes.” – “If I say no, I'll be rejected.” – “I have to manage everything on my own.” – “I'm only worth something if I achieve something.” – “I'm not good enough.”
We identify such beliefs and limiting patterns, understand what they were once good for, and replace them with attitudes that serve you today.
You may be amazed at what you are capable of – if you dare to let go of the old and begin something new.
Stress and burnout prevention
Stress becomes a problem when rest is no longer enough – when you can hardly switch off, sleep no longer refreshes you, or you feel you are only functioning. In coaching, we look at what puts you under pressure, work on boundaries and resources – and, if you are returning to work or starting a new job, make a plan so you don't fall back into the same stress trap.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need to speak German?
No. Coaching can take place entirely in English – or in German or Spanish, if you prefer.
How much does coaching cost?
The first session costs €75 – we already work on your concerns in that first session. Further sessions cost €120 for 60 minutes.
How many sessions will I need?
Sometimes two or three sessions are enough, sometimes we need five to get changes going. Many clients also value being accompanied over a longer period at regular intervals.
Coaching or therapy – what is the difference?
Coaching supports you in reaching goals and making decisions. If there is a mental health condition behind a crisis – such as acute burnout, an anxiety disorder or depression – psychotherapy is often the better route. As a Heilpraktiker für Psychotherapie, I can offer that too.
