In my work as a systemic therapist and counselor, I approach people with an open, appreciative view of their experiences, relationships and previous solution strategies.
For me, systemic thinking is strongly influenced by constructivism – the idea that there is not one objective reality, but many different perspectives on life. This attitude enables me to look at individual realities with curiosity, respect and openness and to discover new perspectives andpossibilites to act differenly together with my clients.
A central concept in my therapeutic approach is that of autopoiesis – the idea that every system (such as a person, a couple or a family system) is self-sustaining and creates its own reality. This means that every person develops their own ways of dealing with challenges over the course of their life. These strategies were often useful and necessary in the past – even if they may no longer feel right today. In my systemic practice, we look at patterns in a non-judgemental way in order to understand them and find new, suitable ways together.
For me, the systemic approach also means respecting the autonomy and self-empowerment of my clients and recognising their strengths and competencies – even if they have lost sight of them themselves. I see my role as creating spaces in which development, change and new perspectives are possible with an attitude of appreciation, open-mindedness and curiosity.
