My sessions should be about more than just describing your current problems - you probably already do that with your friends. My aim is for you to leave each session with new impulses or even concrete ideas for change. To achieve this, I work with creative and effective methods that go beyond just talking, such as psychodramatic role reversals or re-enacting everyday situations.
Professional counselling is not only useful in crises. It can also serve as support for important decisions or simply as a check-up in terms of relationship hygiene - as an opportunity to reflect on and strengthen your partnership.
I have over 10 years of experience as a couples counsellor. My approach is not non-partisan but all-partisan, which means that I make sure that all parties involved are heard and leave the sessions with a feeling of agreement. I also see queerness as a method: with my open, sex-positive and sometimes unconventional mindset, I offer you impulses that can open up new perspectives. An appreciative atmosphere in which all your thoughts, concerns and needs are given space is particularly important to me. This is how we create real change together and improve your connection to each other.
I am happy to accompany you if you would like support in your (couple or poly) relationship.
These are some of the topics that couples and other people in relationships would like to talk to me about:
— Klient P.
— Klient B.
— Klient J.
— Klient S. (Google review, Feb. 2023)
— Klient D.
— Klient E.
Ich fühle mich bei dir gut aufgehoben, Patrick.
Hallo Patrick,
ich weiß nicht, ob Du dich noch an mich erinnern kannst. (...) Mir ist sehr wichtig, dir nochmal Danke für die wertvollen Gespräche zu sagen! Ich fand sie extrem gehaltvoll, lehrreich und ich konnte mich dir gegenüber immer super öffnen.
In zwei probatorischen Sitzungen und einigen Folgeterminen konnte ich mir einen kleinen Eindruck von zwei anderen Therapeuten vermitteln und meine sagen zu können, dass Du schon echt gute Arbeit machst. Lange Rede kurzer Sinn: Du machst einen super Job, mach weiter so! Liebe Grüße und alles Gute für dich!
I have found Patrick to be a most empathetic and sympathetic counsellor. I am English speaking based in Berlin and was wary of having counselling from a native German speaker but Patrick not only speaks English fluently he also understands the nuances of our conversations as though it was his first language . I have really benefitted from my sessions with him. He listens carefully and each session I come away with a different, fresh take on things. He also makes me laugh more than any other counsellor I have had!
I first met Patrick in 2017 when I was feeling stuck on a number of topics, especially in relation to work, life and development as a catholic boy and compulsive behaviours. I felt very well taken care of by him as a therapist. In under 10 therapy sessions Patrick enabled me to change my thinking, behaviours and make progressive steps to living a better life, all thanks to the tools and techniques that Patrick introduced in our sessions.
Now 5 years later - after some life changing experiences and some new topics that were ruminating in my head and holding me back, I had no hesitations in knowing who could help me.
Patrick is without doubt a first class Therapist - who equipped me with tools to raise up and get back to living my life; empowered and confident in my own skin - liberated from all the societal burdens of life which were conscious or previously otherwise within me.
Mit meinen Themen – Zukunftsangst, unklare Lebensziele und Unsicherheit über meine sexuelle Orientierung – fühlte ich mich gut bei dir aufgehoben. Herzlichen Dank für deine einfühlsame, inspirierende und bestimmte Art, mich zu unterstützen. Hilfreich und spannend fand ich auch deine methodische Vielfalt: Neben unseren Gesprächen denke ich an Psychodrama-Sequenzen und Arbeit mit bunten Kärtchen auf dem Fußboden. // Lieber Patrick. Ich möchte mich nochmals bedanken. Der Austausch mit dir bedeutet mir sehr viel. Du inspirierst, leitest Gedanken und hörst auch einfach zu. Und das alles mit einer sehr angenehmer Art und Weise und einer sanften Stimme. Dafür DANKE!
Patrick helped me to regain my focus over my life for the past few years, successfully so! Great therapist, using creative methods to approach complex problems. Always serene, peaceful, and calming the mind.
All in?
