Space for what moves you
You don't have to be able to describe your issue in detail just yet. Perhaps you recognize yourself in one of these situations.
They get things done, stay organized, and see things through. Even in their free time, they find it hard to switch off mentally.
During the consultation
We’ll help you figure out what’s weighing you down, where you’re taking on too much, and what you can do to make your daily life a little easier.
You keep weighing the same options over and over. The longer you think about it, the more uncertain you become.
During the consultation
We distinguish between wishes, fears, and expectations. This allows you to base your decision on what matters most to you.
They are there for others, often say “yes,” and don’t realize until it’s too late that their own energy isn’t unlimited.
During the consultation
We'll explore what you need, why it's hard to say no, and how you can clearly communicate your boundaries.
A relationship, a career, or one's life plans up to this point are changing. What used to feel familiar no longer provides the same sense of security as before.
During the consultation
We take the time to address what you need to let go of, explore new possibilities, and develop steps that fit your current stage of life.
You live abroad and sometimes feel torn between two worlds. You miss the people you know and the things you take for granted.
During the consultation
Speaking German allows you to express things that are hard to share. Together, we’ll figure out what gives you a sense of stability and where you feel a sense of connection.
Your new daily routine feels different than you had hoped. You may be wondering whether you want to stay or go back.
During the consultation
We take your expectations, relationships, and living conditions into account. So you can figure out what matters most for your future path.
Feedback from my counseling and therapeutic work to date.

What was particularly valuable was that I was never pressured, but instead received gentle guidance on where it was worth looking.

„This has changed the way I see the world.“Björn · Read the entire post
„Working with Mr. Hägermann was mostly pleasant and challenging. He identified and addressed my issue. Since then, I’ve been able to lead a life that isn’t entirely worry-free, but one in which I can understand—and, above all, protect—my inner child. EMDR helped me a great deal in this process. I am very grateful to this wonderful person and therapist, because it has transformed the way I see the world.“

What This Is About
The goal is to take a more conscious role in shaping your life again. To understand what’s holding you back and to discover where you can act differently.
I want to understand how you experience your situation. I listen, ask questions, and also address things that may not yet have a name. In doing so, we look at the bigger picture and focus on what can concretely help you in your everyday life.
You don’t have to follow a set plan or move faster than feels right for you. Your questions and your pace will guide the way.
I offer psychological counseling for personal issues and stress. This does not include psychotherapy for the treatment of mental illnesses.

You don't need to write anything out in detail. If you'd like, you can jot down what's on your mind and what you hope to get out of the conversation. For the video call, you'll need a quiet place, a stable internet connection, and a camera and microphone.
Before your first paid session, you will receive information regarding services, fees, payment, canceling appointments, and confidentiality. The agreement also explains how personal data is handled and how the relationship is terminated. You will decide on additional sessions and packages separately.

In Germany, you can also reach the TelefonSeelsorge at 0800 1110111 and the on-call medical service at 116 117. That's not an overreaction; it's the right reaction.
