Loss or Grief Therapists in Berlin, Germany

Grieving the loss of a loved one, or of something else dear to us - home, work, aspects of our functioning (due to ill health, for example), is typically a painful, challenging process. In some occasions it might become too challenging, affecting a person's ability to return to life and continue living it in a satisfying-enough way. In more extreme cases, it could mark the onset of more debilitating depressive experiences and impairment of functioning. I offer a confidential space where we can think together of your subjective experience of loss and grieving and the impact it has on your life.

It can be considered that all parts of life is about loss and grief. I help people how to love and how to loose.

With a background of profound studies in the Tibetan BARDO, and quite a few experiences of accompanying the dying since my childhood and youth, I am experienced in holding space for people during times of grief. I offer both: company during the dying process to the dying person and company to the people remaining. Loss and grief are radical and deeply revealing teachers. Being in touch with the wounding and finding gentle and patient ways to breathe through this will open the door. There are in fact infinite doors into the light.

Berlin's reputation as a hub for creativity, counterculture, and radical self-expression attracts artists, LGBTQ+ individuals, and young migrants from across Europe, generating a therapy community with particularly strong expertise in identity, queer relationships, trauma, and the psychological challenges of creative careers. The German statutory health insurance system funds a significant number of therapy sessions annually through Kassenzulassung-approved providers — though waiting times for publicly funded slots are often long and many residents supplement with private care. Berlin's large Turkish, Arabic, and Eastern European communities drive demand for culturally competent and multilingual therapists, and the city has a well-established network of English-language practitioners serving its large expat population. Berlin's complex history — encompassing division, reunification, and proximity to living memory of authoritarian rule — shapes ongoing themes of political identity, freedom, and intergenerational trauma in clinical work.
