How I can help
Psychological counselling for adults
A shorter, focused process in which we work on a specific difficulty. Sessions last 50 minutes, in person in Budapest or Passau, or online, in English, French or Hungarian.
Burnout and work stress
Burnout arrives slowly. First tiredness, then cynicism, and finally the feeling that nothing matters. Together we look at what drains you and what you can change.
- constant tiredness that stays even after a holiday
- irritability and distance from your work
- difficulty setting boundaries
- returning to work after a long break
Anxiety and tension
Anxiety is a signal you can learn to read. We look at what sets it off and what you can do when it takes over.
- racing thoughts and poor sleep
- performance anxiety, panic before presentations
- constant worry about the future
- physical symptoms with no medical cause
Decisions and life changes
Big changes are demanding even when we chose them. I help you sort through what matters so the decision is really yours.
- career change
- moving to a new city or country
- divorce, separation, grief
- children leaving home
Self-knowledge and self-worth
Many people notice they end up in the same situation again and again. Those patterns are worth a closer look.
- a harsh inner critic
- people-pleasing and difficulty saying no
- perfectionism and procrastination
- recognising your own needs
Relationship difficulties
In individual sessions we work on what is hard in your relationships, whether with a partner, family or colleagues.
- recurring conflicts
- growing apart, communication breakdowns
- deciding about the future of a relationship
- difficult family situations
Motherhood and parenting
A child changes everything: how you spend your time, your relationship, your connection to work, and how you see yourself. As a mother, I know these questions from my own life too.
- pregnancy and the demands of the first months
- returning to work after parental leave
- guilt, pressure to cope, too little time for yourself
- how a relationship changes after a child arrives
Expat life and living between cultures
If you have moved to Budapest or Passau, or you are a Hungarian living abroad, loneliness, the question of home and balancing two identities may feel familiar.
- settling in and building a social life
- homesickness and guilt towards those back home
- expat couples and the trailing partner
- difficulties after returning home
Practicalities

When you need a different kind of help
As a psychologist I offer counselling. If you are in acute crisis, or have thoughts of self-harm or suicide, please call the free helpline on 116-123 in Hungary or 0800 111 0 111 in Germany, or the emergency number 112 straight away. If your situation calls for psychiatric care or psychotherapy, I will help you find the right specialist.
