Individual Counseling for Performing Artists
I offer psychological counseling and performance coaching to a wide range of clients, including musicians, dancers, artists, cultural workers, and others.
Some ways of working together are:
Resourcing: identifying external and internal resources to navigate difficult phases
Artistic Systemic Therapy: addressing psychological needs through artistic means and a systemic approach
Expat Reflection Circles (Group Therapy for Expats)
Navigating interpersonal challenges with colleagues, family, and friends
Exploring Integration into a foreign culture and society
Managing, taming, or even befriending performance anxiety
Cultivating the conditions that enable peak performances
Themes that often arise in our work include:
Burnout
Perfectionism
Managing Stress
Work-Life Balance
Performance Anxiety
Identity
Complex Trauma (Certified: Clinical Trauma Professional Training CCTP)
Relationship Issues (partner, family, colleagues, friends)
Narcissism and its Impacts
Creative Blockages
Meaning and Purpose
My work is informed by various psychological approaches, for example: systemic and person-centered psychology, by my academic studies (MSc Psychology, Certificate in Musicians’ Health from UdK / Hans Eisler, Artistic Systems Therapist training), and by my life experience.
Psychological counseling is available in my center: The Green Room in Cologne, Germany. These sessions can also be conducted online.
