What Executive Coaching Can Achieve
Leadership begins with self-knowledge.
As a licensed psychologist and behavioural therapist, I offer executive coaching at my private practice in Munich-Bogenhausen at a level that goes beyond classic business coaching: psychologically grounded, clinically experienced and confidential under §203 StGB.
Discreet, structured, effective.
Every process begins with clear goals and a binding framework. Sessions take place on site in Munich or online. No employer, no HR department will know what we discuss — the confidentiality of psychotherapy applies.
Gain clarity when pressure and complexity increase.
Making decisions under uncertainty, taking responsibility, setting direction — without losing yourself. Coaching sharpens judgment and strengthens decision-making quality.
Maintain performance before exhaustion takes its toll.
High demands and sustained stress increase the risk of burnout. Coaching reveals early warning signs and develops concrete prevention strategies.
Shape change — consciously and with a plan.
New role, promotion, reorientation, or crisis: career transitions are psychologically demanding. Coaching provides guidance for the right decision at the right time.
Navigate difficult conversations without losing yourself.
Conflicts in the leadership team, with the board, or with important clients consume energy and damage relationships. Coaching develops strategies for precisely these situations.
Achievement without self-exploitation.
Perfectionism, impostor phenomenon, and excessive self-demands are common among leaders — and often go unrecognized. Coaching makes these patterns visible and changes them purposefully.
Bear responsibility and still stay true to yourself.
A clear separation of professional and private life is illusory for many leaders. Coaching develops realistic strategies that bring together performance and well-being.
Process
Clear framework. Measurable goals.
We clarify your concerns, your goals, and whether executive coaching is the right framework. Confidential, non-binding, and without obligation. 50 minutes.
We define concrete coaching goals, a clear timeframe, and success criteria. From the beginning, you will know what we are working on and when we will be finished.
Regular sessions of 50–90 minutes, every two to four weeks. Tools from psychology and behavioral therapy, shifts in perspective, and concrete application to your daily life.
We review the goals, consolidate insights, and clarify how you can integrate what you’ve learned long-term. If desired, individual follow-up sessions are possible.

Understanding Executive Coaching
A structured, confidential development process for executives, entrepreneurs, and professionals.
The focus is on professional challenges — leadership, decisions, communication, career transitions — and the personal patterns associated with them. Executive coaching is neither training nor consulting: you don't get ready-made solutions, but rather support in developing your own solutions more soundly, quickly, and with greater clarity.
The psychological depth. Many business coaches work with models based on experience and intuition.
As a licensed psychologist and behavioral therapist, I also bring a profound understanding of psychological processes: how stress impairs decision-making, how early learned patterns shape leadership behavior, how perfectionism, need for control, or conflict avoidance arise — and how they can be sustainably changed. If topics emerge in coaching that go beyond the professional, I can accurately categorize and address them.
Who is Executive Coaching suitable for?
For executives, C-level managers, board members, entrepreneurs, founders, self-employed individuals, and ambitious professionals.
In other words, for people who bear high responsibility and seek support that matches this level. Frequent reasons: new leadership role or promotion, conflicts within the leadership team, decisions under uncertainty, burnout prevention, career transitions, personal crises in a professional context, as well as questions about leadership style and impact.
Yes. Coaching is possible in German, English, Lithuanian, and Russian.
For international executives, expats, and executives with a global center of life, coaching in their native language is crucial for the depth and effectiveness of the process.
Topics in Executive Coaching
Leadership behavior and style, decision-making under pressure, difficult conversations and conflicts, delegation and trust.
Additionally, self-worth and perfectionism, burnout prevention and stress regulation, career transitions and reorientation, work-life integration, dealing with power and responsibility, and dynamics within the leadership team and at board level are covered.
This is the norm, not the exception.
Patterns that appear at work — perfectionism, need for control, difficulties with delegation, fear of criticism — almost always have personal roots. The advantage of working with a psychotherapist: We can address these connections clearly and safely, without entering an uncontrolled therapy situation.
Process and Organization
For clearly defined topics — a new leadership role, a concrete decision — 6 to 10 sessions are often sufficient.
For deeper developmental processes or recurring patterns, a longer support framework is more appropriate. At the beginning, we define a clear contract with goals and regularly review progress.
Sessions typically take place every two to four weeks.
This allows space to try out insights in everyday life and bring them back to the next session. In intensive phases — before an important decision, during a conflict or a crisis — more frequent appointments are possible.
Sound qualifications.
Experience from private practice, clinical settings, and research.
Licensed Psychological Psychotherapist
State licensure (Approbation) with specialisation in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy.
Licensure (Approbation) is the state license to practice psychotherapy independently in Germany, granted after several years of postgraduate training and passing the state examination. With a specialisation in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), I work on the basis of scientifically proven, guideline-compliant methods. For you, this means verified professional qualifications, confidentiality under Section 203 of the German Criminal Code (StGB), and the reassurance of receiving treatment in a regulated medical practice — whether as a self-paying or privately insured patient in Munich.
Specialist Training in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy
Multi-year psychotherapeutic training at the Institute for Behavioural Therapy.
I completed my multi-year specialist psychotherapeutic training at the Kölner Lehrinstitut für Verhaltenstherapie (AWKV) — a state-recognised training institute with high clinical and scientific standards. The training comprised over 4,200 hours of theory, self-reflection, supervision, and clinical practice. I work with Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) as well as modern third-wave approaches such as Schema Therapy and ACT — evidence-based methods for depression, anxiety disorders, burnout, and stress reactions.
Diplom-Psychologin
Academic degree in psychology from the University of Cologne.
I completed my Diplom degree in psychology at the University of Cologne — specialising in clinical psychology, diagnostics, and neuropsychology. The Diplom degree is equivalent to a modern Master's degree and provides the scientific foundation for all responsible psychotherapeutic work. In practice, this means I understand psychological processes not only clinically, but can also interpret research findings, apply differential diagnostics, and offer you precise, tailored support — whether you are dealing with acute distress, long-standing patterns, or personal development.
Clinical Treatment Experience
Work as a ward psychologist at the Altenburger Tagesklinik in Cologne and in inpatient clinical care at the Department of Psychiatry, Psychotherapy and Psychosomatics.
Through several years of inpatient and day-clinic practice as a ward psychologist, I have supported patients across the full spectrum of psychological disorders — from severe depression and anxiety disorders to post-traumatic stress disorders, personality disorders, and crisis intervention. This clinical depth sets an experienced psychotherapist apart from one trained purely in outpatient settings: you receive treatment that remains safe, calm, and methodologically sound even in complex cases, comorbidities, or acute crises.
Outpatient Psychotherapy
Psychotherapeutic work in training outpatient clinics and outpatient practice settings in Cologne, Hamburg and Munich.
As a psychotherapist in private practice, I have worked in outpatient settings for many years — initially at the university clinic and in established practices in Cologne and Hamburg, and today in my own private practice in Munich. My clients include adults, couples, and executives seeking discreet, high-quality, and scheduling-flexible psychotherapy — often as self-paying or privately insured patients. Short waiting times, unhurried sessions, and a confidential environment in the heart of Munich provide a distinct alternative to overstretched standard healthcare.
Research and Science Management
Scientific research at the Max Planck Institute and professional experience at the German Research Foundation (DFG).
As a research associate at the Max Planck Institute and in a managerial position at the German Research Foundation (DFG), I spent years working at the intersection of research, science policy, and clinical practice. I bring this perspective to every treatment: up-to-date research, evidence-based methods, and a critical understanding of what truly works in psychotherapy. You benefit from a therapist who does not rely on dogmatic approaches, but thinks methodically, stays current, and grounds her practice in science.
Artificial Intelligence
Advising a start-up on AI-supported real-time analysis of human communication.
I advise a German start-up at the intersection of psychology and AI, focusing on the real-time analysis of human communication — speech, voice, non-verbal signals. This work sharpens my understanding of what is unconsciously transmitted and received during conversations, directly informing my coaching and couples therapy practice. For executives, leaders, and couples, this offers a deeper, more precise insight into communicative patterns — moving beyond gut instinct, backed by current psychological and technological research.
Multilingual Therapy
Therapy and counselling fluent in German, English, Lithuanian, and Russian.
I offer psychotherapy, coaching, and counselling fluently in four languages: German, English, Lithuanian, and Russian. For international clients, expats in Munich, diplomats, and global executives, speaking in one's native language is often the key to true emotional depth. Psychotherapy in English in Munich, psichoterapija lietuvių kalba, психотерапия на русском языке — professional treatment without linguistic or cultural detours, provided in a discreet setting.
