About

People work with me when they feel "stuck" in their distress, despite trying to fix themselves and working with various other therapies and treatments.

Here is how a client experienced therapy with me: "It is difficult to express just how invaluable Dr Ute has been for my development. When we began therapy, I was feeling extremely low and anxious, and throughout the past eight months, she has provided me with tools to not only feel better but also stronger and more kind and compassionate with myself. She has the ability to interpret how best to provide therapy depending on what has been going on in my life. Most of all, her injection of humour provides an opportunity to shed light on what can sometimes feel like only darkness. I would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone."

My clients experience low mood, anxiety, sleep difficulties and general stress. Many live with chronic illnesses and pain, disordered personalities, trauma, abuse, disordered eating, and ADHD. My clients face life-changing difficulties such as grief and loss, work issues, breakdown of relationships and life-crisis.

A client described it: "When I was at my lowest and in some very frightening situations, Ute was there as a moment of focus and calm during a tornado of awful. She helped me realise how serious my situation was and the implications of continuing what I was doing. She helped me see that the time really had come for me to genuinely pause my habits of destruction and horror and be kind enough to allow myself the time to heal. She assisted me in giving myself the space for self-kindness and reflection. She took no prisoners; there was no room for nonsense. She gave it to me straight, honestly and lovingly. I felt held in intelligence, safety and genuine care."

As my client, you receive your own tailored therapy, personalised to your needs as they arise at the moment. You will work with a therapist who is an expert in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, CBT, Mindfulness-based therapies, EMDR and existential psychotherapy. Personalised audio recordings for relaxation, meditation and behavioural change training are part of your therapeutic journey. To work with me, I ask you to bring three things to our therapeutic journey: courage, curiosity and compassion.

My clients reflect on this therapeutic work: "Dr Ute has helped me in a life-changing way through her highly professional, sympathetic and compassionate manner. She has a wonderful way of encouraging me to dig deep and has helped me find a number of methods which help me find peace and calmness within me. My experience with Ute has been truly life-changing, and I have been able to get to know myself much better and, most importantly, change how I see and treat myself. She has made me a stronger person, and I cannot thank her enough for all her support."

I am an HCPC-accredited Counselling Psychologist, a Chartered Member of the British Psychological Society and a Lecturer at the University of London. I have worked in the NHS, charities, specialised hospitals, private clinics, and private practices. Being bilingual, I offer therapy in both languages: English and German.

I would strongly recommend Dr Ute. I took some career coach sessions with Dr Ute. She was very competent and genuinely listened to me. We had a straightforward process, but it greatly impacted my choices and career direction. Thank you very much, Dr Ute!

Explanation

I suffered many years from anxiety. It had impacted every area of my life. I couldn't sleep properly, I had started to avoid social situations. I had even lost some very long standing friendships. Dr Ute taught helped me to understand my symptoms in a more helpful way. She taught me strategies that are easy to deploy that stop me becoming overwhelmed and allow me to live in harmony with my feelings. I am enjoying my life once again... This is something I had once thought impossible.

Relateable, instructive and entirely human is the phrase that comes to mind when I think about Ute. I've had the pleasure of knowing Ute for few months now, during which we have worked together as colleagues and during which I have also trusted her enough to refer patients to her (who have said nothing but good things about their time with her). I am continually impressed with Ute's ability to challenge the mainstream psychology and therapy out there and truly regard this as a great asset when seeing clients. Ute's ability to make an individual feel entirely seen and heard along with her very friendly and comforting character is what stands out for me as a true therapist and why I will continually refer patients to her. She is very heartfelt in everything that she does and has only ever communicated her work with me through love, enjoyment and passion. If it is not clear - I highly recommend her.
