More about Barbara

  • 16 years' experience

I am credentialed in the UK with 16 years of professional work experience for The Relate Counselling Service and an autism-specialist charity working with individuals, couples and parents. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety (at work), intimacy issues, relationship issues, bereavement, family conflicts, self-esteem and motivation issues. I have also extensive experience in offering autism-specialist counselling for couples and parents. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. I am fluent in English and German and I can therefore run our sessions in the prefered language. It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. I am here to support & empower you in that journey.

About online counseling

Affordable.
Pay a low flat fee.
Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.

Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

Barbara has been amazing. She was able to identify and understand the issues I was facing from the get go. Not only is she empathetic and knowledgeable, she is able to provide solutions to understand myself on a deeper level as well as what to do next. She is a joyful person that brings out a smile from me even on my worst day. She’s become more of a life coach rather than just a therapist and I can’t thank her enough for her help. Barbara is responsive through text and checks in regularly to ensure I am coping well. A through professional and someone who really cares about your wellbeing. I highly recommend Barbara.
