ABOUT

My journey into counseling began with a personal search for meaning and understanding — of ourselves, and of how we do relationships. Over time, this became my professional path.

I was trained by Drs. Hal & Sidra Stone in Voice Dialogue, a method that works directly with the many “inner parts”.

What Makes My Approach Distinct

 What makes Voice Dialogue distinct from other inner-parts approaches-Schema Therapy, Ego States, IFS, TA, Gestalt, etc.is the 

 Aware Ego Process- the essence of the Stones’ work and Bonding Pattern Modell -offers a unique way to understand relationship dynamics-helps untangle repeating patterns and create new possibilities for connection.

The Aware Ego, as Sidra & Hal Stone describe it, is not one of the “selves,” but the place in us that can hold awareness of opposites and make a choice that integrates rather than splits. It is not a fixed state, but a living process: an inner, aware decision-maker — a kind of executive function — that emerges when we recognise we are identified with a part, become conscious of that identification, and step back into a place that can hold both awareness and action. From here, we can live with life’s tensions — vulnerability and freedom and groundedness — with more clarity and choice.

In a neurobiological fashion, the Stones compared the Aware Ego to the anterior cingulate cortex (ACC), which monitors  and mediates conflict between opposing impulses and creates space for conscious choice rather than automatic reaction.

I offer sessions in German and English, online via Zoom. In person only by request (in Basel).

 It’s not about becoming someone else — it’s about understanding who we are, more fully and clearly.
