Questions & Answers

No, our psychotherapy does not focus exclusively on nutrition. We support people with weight or nutrition-related conditions on a psychological level. However, our support is aimed at a wide range of challenges including stress management, managing emotions, anxiety, burnout, depression, sleep disorders and difficult life situations.

Our focus is to offer you professional help in these areas and to work with you to find solutions.

Please do not use our services for emergency situations.

As we cannot offer an on-call or emergency service, our services are not suitable for acute crisis situations.

If you are in a crisis or in case of medical emergency, please call a doctor immediately or dial the international emergency number 112 for 24/7 help and support.
