Berlin Counselling

Therapy, Coaching and Supervision

Reconnect to yourself.

At times when you are finding yourself low on energy, not as happy, living in a country you were not born in can become isolating and feel like you have no ground underneath your feet. You easily start feeling very lonely and disconnected.

If you have moved countries, many times your relationship (and/or your family) becomes your “home”, and it can be all the more difficult if you are no longer sure about your relationship, are considering separation or separated, or are dealing with loss. At such times, counselling or therapy may help to support you to find your own strengths again, feel more grounded, and be able to reconnect with yourself and others around you again.

"Bertine is knowledgeable, concerned about my overall well-being and specifically honed in on my certain problems. The methods she uses with me are varied and each one provides me with a new way to discover also how to help myself. I have been treated with friendliness and professionalism, and I look forward to every session!"

~ Woman (26)

Reconnect to each other.

You may feel you are no longer talking with your partner, but at each other. Or maybe you have stopped really speaking with each other at all? And even when you are trying to do or say something different, all the other person seems to hear are words of hurt. “Maybe we are just too different” is often what I hear in a first session, especially from couples who have different cultural backgrounds. But most of the time, what is going on is that it does not feel safe anymore to enjoy each other and your differences, as you feel too hurt or cannot forgive certain things that have happened. When it seems impossible to come out of some of these cycles that seem to have determined your relationship by yourself, it can help to speak to someone who does not take any sides, but helps the both of you, (or, in case of a family, all family members) to express some of the things you want to say in a safe environment, with the hope of getting out of these cycles and finding new, more positive ways forward, that are actually more in line with how you would like your relationship to be.

Areas Of Expertise

My approach is rooted in systemic psychotherapy, which means I work a lot with relationships, whether with you on your own, as a couple or as a family. Over the years, I have incorporated additional approaches into my work such as mindfulness, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, emotion-focussed work and hypnotherapy. Issues people come to me for are for example:

Relationships

Depression & Burnout

Identity issues

Anxiety

Family Therapy

Grief & Loss

Supervision

"Bertine helped my wife and I with our marriage beyond words can convey. She was able to fully grasp almost immediately from our first session the inner-dynamics and workings of our relationship, how we each were feeling, the challenges we each faced, the issues we needed to each address. Bertine is a rare find – both an expert in relationships, and an expert at being human. We are grateful to all she has done for our marriage. We strongly encourage other couples seeking help to turn Bertine."
