ADHD

Finding focus, directing energy.

Restlessness, distractibility, planning stress, and impulsivity can dominate everyday life. In CBT we strengthen executive functions, establish clear routines, and improve emotion regulation and self-management – involving a partner or work environment if desired.

Addictions

Breaking cycles, reclaiming freedom.

Loss of control, strong cravings, concealment, and distressing consequences indicate addiction. CBT identifies triggers, trains alternatives to consumption, works with stimulus control and relapse prevention – motivating, structured, and linked to medical treatment if needed.

Anxiety Disorders

Developing inner security..

Persistent worry, panic attacks, and avoidance narrow the scope of life. Through psychoeducation, exposure exercises, and cognitive strategies, we build courage, capacity for action, and self-confidence step by step – supplemented by breathing and relaxation techniques.

Depression

Strengthening motivation, rediscovering meaning.

Low mood, withdrawal, sleep and concentration problems, and rumination are typical. CBT activates in a practical way, structures the day, reduces rumination cycles, and focuses on resources and values – coordinated with medical treatment if needed.

Burnout and Stress

Creating balance, renewing strength.

Chronic tension, sleep problems, cynicism, and exhaustion despite breaks are warning signs. CBT clarifies stress patterns, sets priorities, strengthens boundaries and recovery, reduces perfectionism, and realistically restructures work and everyday life.

OCD (Thoughts and Actions)

Letting go of control, gaining freedom.

Intrusive thoughts and rituals bring brief relief but cost time and quality of life. The core of CBT for OCD is ERP (Exposure and Response Prevention): suspending rituals, tolerating tension, testing catastrophic thinking – until self-determined action becomes possible again.

Personality Disorders

Building stability, shaping relationships.

Long-lasting patterns in feeling, thinking, and relating can lead to instability, inner pressure, or conflict. CBT works on emotion and impulse regulation, core beliefs (schemas), and interpersonal skills – supplemented by elements from, for example, schema therapy or DBT.

Adjustment Problems

Managing change, finding grounding.

After separation, illness, relocation, or a change of job, feelings of overwhelm, sleep disorders, and worry often arise. CBT stabilises, activates resources, trains problem-solving, and gradually builds a solid new everyday structure.

Relationship Conflicts

Understanding, connecting, growing together.

Recurring conflict spirals, communication breakdowns, or closeness-distance problems strain the relationship. CBT makes patterns visible, establishes fair communication rules, clarifies needs, and tests concrete everyday experiments – in couple or individual settings as desired.

Being a Man

Understanding oneself as a man – beyond role models.

Many men today find themselves between traditional expectations and new ideals: strong, but sensitive; successful, but mindful; independent, but committed. In therapy, the aim is to consciously reflect on these areas of tension – to recognise old patterns and develop new ways of dealing with emotions, relationships, performance, and self-image.

We work on inner clarity, healthy boundaries, authentic presence, and a sense of self guided not by external standards but by inner coherence.
