About me
My name is Christina (she/her), and I am a cognitive behavioural psychotherapist and systemic sex therapist passionate about helping individuals and multi-person setups navigate the complexities of relationships, intimacy, and personal growth.
With training in Germany and the Netherlands and extensive international experience, I work with expats and clients worldwide. While my main focus is in the area of relationships, gender and sexuality, in the past I worked across the whole spectrum of psychological challenges such as, depression, anxiety, social phobia, trauma, low self-esteem & more. My approach integrates scientifically grounded methods such as CBT and systemic therapy with body-based and experiential techniques, all tailored to your unique needs. I regularly engage in advanced trainings and supervision with field-leading experts to provide you with the highest quality support.
