- ANNE ZIRKLER -

(PSYCHOLOGICAL PSYCHOTHERAPIST)


I OFFER PSYCHOTHERAPY AND COUNSELING

  • in English and German
  • for private pay and private insurance
  • for people in crisis, people questioning life and themselves or people who wish to get to know themselves better / get in touch with themselves more
  • psychodynamic, integrative, holistic, potential oriented, culture sensitive

PEOPLE from ANY CULTURAL BACKGROUND AND BELONGING ARE WELCOME, INDEPENDENT FROM LIFE STYLES, SEXUAL / RELIGIOUS ORIENTATIONS OR GENDER IDENTITES.

FOR EXPATS IN BERLIN: Many people from abroad are drawn to Berlin for various reasons – art scene, start-ups, night life, promises of freedom, self-discovery or just the wish to start out with a new life. Leaving your home country can be more difficult than you might have expected, though. Plus, the hedonistic, “hip” but relatively self-centered life style of the city can assert its hardships on the psyche. Counseling or psychotherapy might be what you wanna turn to when you struggle with building up your life here. Even though Berlin claims to be an international and open city, the German health care system hasn’t reached that far, yet. Unfortunately, non-German-speakers have huge disadvantages in finding a suitable psychotherapist who is covered by health insurance. I regret not to be able to offer you psychotherapy which is covered by health insurance, either (except from private insurances). In case you are on a waiting list for covered psychotherapy but you are in crisis and need help now – I’d be happy to bridge the gap with you. 

ALL ISSUES ARE WELCOME. A good fit between psychotherapist and client is essential. On the following pages you can grasp an extensive impression of my approaches as well as my personal attitudes and view points which form the foundation of my work. In case you can’t afford to pay for psychotherapy, I would be happy for you to gain some inspiration or impulses for self help.

 „In youth it was a way I had, to do my best to please. And change, with every passing lad to suit his theories. But now I know the things I know and do the things I do, and if you do not like me so, to hell, my love, with you.”

Dorothy Parker
