Worth men­tion­ing about myself

Qual­i­fi­ca­tions

My pro­fes­sion­al jour­ney began with a Bach­e­lor’s and Mas­ter’s degree in Psy­chol­o­gy. Dri­ven by a deep curios­i­ty about how our thoughts, emo­tions, and behav­iors are con­nect­ed, I went on to earn a PhD in this field — focus­ing on con­cen­tra­tion and men­tal fatigue in the brain.

Dur­ing this time, I devel­oped a knack for mak­ing com­plex ideas easy to under­stand — a skill I now bring direct­ly into my work. I help turn knowl­edge into clar­i­ty, and clar­i­ty into mean­ing­ful change.

In addi­tion to my aca­d­e­m­ic back­ground, I com­plet­ed cer­ti­fied train­ing as a psy­cho­log­i­cal coach and cou­ples coun­selor through the Bil­dungswerk für ther­a­peutis­che Berufe. I con­tin­ue to expand my exper­tise through ongo­ing edu­ca­tion in sys­temic cou­ples ther­a­py, sex ther­a­py and emo­tion-focused coun­sel­ing.

What mat­ters most to me: Sci­ence should be paired with heart — and true growth hap­pens where authen­tic­i­ty is wel­come.

Career

My path has always been diverse — from aca­d­e­m­ic posi­tions and free­lance work as a psy­chol­o­gist to roles as a data sci­en­tist in large com­pa­nies. These expe­ri­ences have taught me to stay curi­ous and adapt­able.

Grow­ing up in a mul­ti­cul­tur­al fam­i­ly, I learned ear­ly on to see and val­ue dif­fer­ent per­spec­tives. Dur­ing my stud­ies, I lived and worked in the Nether­lands, Eng­land, France, and Cana­da. I com­plet­ed my PhD in Bel­gium — a jour­ney that con­tin­ues to shape me today.

 

Through all of these expe­ri­ences, I’ve gained not only knowl­edge, but also a deep appre­ci­a­tion for the many ways peo­ple think, feel, and love. This under­stand­ing forms the foun­da­tion of my work as a psy­cho­log­i­cal coach and cou­ples coun­selor — empa­thet­ic, resource-focused, and always at eye lev­el.

Oth­er

When I’m not sup­port­ing cou­ples in con­ver­sa­tion, I’m ful­ly immersed in col­or­ful every­day life — togeth­er with my Aus­tralian hus­band and our lit­tle daugh­ter. As a mul­ti­cul­tur­al fam­i­ly, we expe­ri­ence every day just how enrich­ing, inspir­ing, and some­times chal­leng­ing it can be when dif­fer­ent cul­tures and per­spec­tives meet. It’s taught me that there often isn’t one objec­tive “right” or “wrong” — and that open­ness is some­thing I bring into my work as a psy­chol­o­gist.

I draw my ener­gy from con­ver­sa­tions that are real and alive — the kind that touch on the heart of life. I’m con­stant­ly inspired by new per­spec­tives because they help me keep see­ing the world in new ways. At the same time, I’ve learned how vital it is to pause now and then: to take a deep breath, feel the moment, and then move for­ward.

These small moments give my life depth and col­or — and that’s exact­ly the feel­ing I hope to pass on to you. I look for­ward to cre­at­ing spaces with you where you feel wel­come, just as you are, with what­ev­er you bring.

What oth­ers say about me

“Katha­ri­na com­bines kind­ness, intel­li­gence, and a research-based approach to coach­ing. In her ses­sions, Katha­ri­na cre­ates a pos­i­tive and sup­port­ive envi­ron­ment, which encour­ages open com­mu­ni­ca­tion and fos­ters trust.”

“Katha­ri­na is a true coach at heart. With empa­thy, quick think­ing, rich life expe­ri­ence, and a wide range of coach­ing tech­niques, she achieves results quick­ly. From the very first ses­sion, the coach­ing felt pleas­ant and trust­wor­thy. Based on my expec­ta­tions, we set clear goals, which were then con­sis­tent­ly pur­sued. I’m def­i­nite­ly leav­ing the coach­ing process stronger, and what I’ve learned con­tin­ues to have a last­ing impact.

Katha­ri­na sup­port­ed me with humor, patience, and pro­fes­sion­al­ism. With her deep empa­thy and pas­sion for her work, she knows exact­ly how to meet her clients where they are and guide them toward their goals. She con­tin­u­ous­ly sur­prised, chal­lenged, and encour­aged me with the breadth of her skills and coach­ing meth­ods. Thank you so much for your sup­port.”
