Sexual Abuse Therapists in Berlin, Germany

If you have or are experiencing sexual abuse, it is very important to get help. You need to get out of this situation and/ or heal from the damage done. People that were sexually abused may be traumatized and suffer from dissociation (part of you goes away), flashbacks (images and/or physical and emotional reactions are triggered involuntarily) and other symptoms that can make your life difficult and hinder you to experience positive sexual encounters. This affects you and your relationships and can be helped. Don’t hesitate, especially if this is ongoing. Get help quickly and start your better life. If you are a person who abuses a child or any other person, part of you may justify this with different excuses and even claim it wasn’t abuse. If there is a part, maybe the best in you, that knows what you are doing is not ok, then get help as soon as possible. Change is possible, also for you.

I have worked extensively in this area and appreciate the courage and struggles involved in therapy for sexual abuse. I aim to work sensitively with you to deshame, process and empower.

Having experienced and overcome the trauma and side effects of sexual abuse, and having studied accordingly, I can hold space for and help women and men with issues of sexual abuse, whether or not you remember things clearly. As with emotional abuse, there are many subtle ways that this can occur in all sorts of relationships. You can be sure that we will address your issues with absolute confidentiality, without judgement, and find a way out of shame and pain. It will need trust and patience.

I help people over come and understand their trauma so that they can have a healthier connection with their own body and create lasting meaningful relationships going forward.

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.
