More about Barbara
- 16 years' experience

- BACP
I am credentialed in the UK with 16 years of professional work experience for The Relate Counselling Service and an autism-specialist charity working with individuals, couples and parents. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety (at work), intimacy issues, relationship issues, bereavement, family conflicts, self-esteem and motivation issues. I have also extensive experience in offering autism-specialist counselling for couples and parents. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. I am fluent in English and German and I can therefore run our sessions in the prefered language. It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. I am here to support & empower you in that journey.

About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.
- Convenient.
- Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
- Available now.
- There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.
Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Couldn’t wish for a better therapist! Barbara is so unbelievably kind and so good at what she does. She has helped me a lot in just three weeks.
She has been great, checked on me constantly even when I didn’t respond. Her session gave me confidence as well.
She is amazing and everytime we have a session I always look at the time hoping I still have loads of time with her because I usually don't want the sessions to end because of how amazing it is to talk to her....I would totally recommend her
Top! Verständnislos und kompetent!
Barbara has been amazing. She was able to identify and understand the issues I was facing from the get go. Not only is she empathetic and knowledgeable, she is able to provide solutions to understand myself on a deeper level as well as what to do next. She is a joyful person that brings out a smile from me even on my worst day. She’s become more of a life coach rather than just a therapist and I can’t thank her enough for her help. Barbara is responsive through text and checks in regularly to ensure I am coping well. A through professional and someone who really cares about your wellbeing. I highly recommend Barbara.
