Eating Disorders Therapists in Jena, Germany

I help people understand food from the oral and anal stage of sychological development. We learn about behaviour around eating and ways to respect and enjoy food in healthier way. Often it's not food that's a problem but a side effect.

Embarking on a transformative journey to reclaim your relationship with food is not just about recovery; it's about rediscovering your strength and resilience. As a coaching psychologist specializing in eating challenges, I bring a dynamic and empowering approach to our work together. We won't just navigate the complexities of your eating habits; we'll also unravel the unique threads that contribute to your story. My approach is grounded in empathy and evidence-based interventions, tailored to meet your unique needs.

We offer individualised support for a range of eating disorders and self image issues. Wherever you are on your journey towards creating a sense of self that feels more whole and healed, we are here for you.

I happen to be very experienced with treating eating disorders of all sorts. Having been surrounded by them during my years as a professional dancer and in the modelling world, enables me to understand the patterns deeply. Often the body needs various kinds of support. Depending on the body facts and life situation, I may insist that a client needs to see a medical professional regularly in order to work together with me. I guide you to face the underlying shadows and subconscious reasons for the disorder, gently but firmly develop understanding and love for yourself and the very shadows and inner monsters will become the source of healing.

Jena is a Thuringian university city home to Friedrich Schiller University, one of Germany's historic research universities, and the birthplace of the Carl Zeiss optics company and SCHOTT AG—both still major local employers—giving the city a distinctive identity as both an elite academic and a high-technology industrial center that has navigated the profound economic transformation from East German planned economy to the unified Germany market economy. The psychological legacy of reunification—Ostalgie (nostalgia for the East), identity disruption, and the economic upheaval of the Wende—is present in the experiences of many older residents, while younger generations and international students bring a more globally oriented perspective. Mental health services are provided through public health structures, and a private therapy sector serves the university community and professional population. Common therapy concerns include identity and community belonging in a city navigating post-reunification change, student mental health at a demanding research university, anxiety, and the particular experiences of an East German city that has adapted more successfully than many of its neighbors but still carries the weight of transformation.
