Psychoanalytic Therapists in Berlin, Germany

My practice is ideal for individuals looking for a culturally sensitive therapist while navigating mild to moderate emotional challenges—such as anxiety, depression, trauma, or difficulties in relationships. I also work with people experiencing identity shifts, parenting struggles, cross-cultural adjustment, and emotion regulation issues. Depending on your needs, I offer both intensive short-term and weekly long-term therapy.

Hello. I am Dr Aneliya Gonsard - clinical psychologist and psychodynamic psychotherapist. I bring with me rich professional experience, encompassing fourteen years of clinical practice in the public, private and charity sectors. I have supported individuals, groups and organisations in various roles - as a psychotherapist, supervisor, trainer and a psychologist in multidisciplinary teams. Currently I work solely in private practice. If we get to meet, you can expect a confidential space where you can bring forward your difficulties, start exploring your experiences and develop, with my support, a deeper understanding of who you are - what holds you back and what drives you forward and towards a more wholesome way of living. You can find our more about me on my professional website: www.thrive.bg/en

I work with adults of all ethnicity, culture and age, addressing issues such as work-related stress, relationship challenges, childhood trauma, anxiety, grief, retirement, and major life transitions. My goal is to help you gain a deeper understanding of yourself, explore how your past may be shaping your present, and support you in moving toward personal fulfillment.

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.
