About me
I'm glad you want to know more about me.
I am Xenia – a psychological counselor with heart, mind and an open ear.
Here you will learn what motivates me, how I work and why it is so important to me to accompany people on their journey.
Nice that you're here.
I support you if you can no longer think clearly because of all the circling thoughts, feel overwhelmed by your emotions, or simply want more clarity in your life.
In times like these, the people around you often don't know how to support you, and you can feel misunderstood and quite alone. But it doesn't have to stay that way. You can get support; I'm here for you.
From an early age, I realized how valuable it is to simply be there, with genuine interest and without judgment. This attitude has stayed with me to this day and was the reason why I trained as a psychological counselor.
Long before my training, people around me approached me with their concerns, whether it was about relationships, raising children, or personal challenges. The most rewarding gift for me was always the honest feedback: that relationships had improved, new perspectives had emerged, or a small stimulus had set something in motion. I kept hearing, "Why don't you do that professionally?" And today, I do just that, with all my heart.
In my work, it's especially important to me to create a space where you feel safe and understood. I believe that everyone already carries many answers within themselves; sometimes they just need someone to help them rediscover them.

My working methods
For me, you and your story, your individual needs and wishes are the focus. My top priority is that you feel comfortable and well cared for with me. I give you the time you need to use as you wish, whether it is to talk about a topic that is on your mind or to plan your future path in life.
As a counsellor, I want to understand your perspective and always remain curious, open and empathetic. I focus on a solution- and resource-oriented approach and take a holistic view of stressful issues. It is important to me to treat you with respect, without prejudice and with empathy. Of course, I am bound by professional confidentiality.
I work according to the approach of the Institute for Body-Centred Psychotherapy, which is based on scientifically recognised Gestalt therapy. This approach takes a holistic view of the human being and includes the psyche, body and mind.
The training programme for body-oriented psychological counsellors focuses on developing counselling skills. The emphasis is on process- and resource-oriented, emotion- and needs-centred, and experience-activating counselling. The IKP approach is expanded by a systemic and body-oriented perspective, thus forming a multidimensional therapy concept with its six dimensions of life. In this way, I support people in difficult life situations, whether they are experiencing overload, stress, uncertainty, or are searching for their own path or personal development.
