Anxiety and Panic:
A False Alarm of Your Nervous System.
Not a failure, not a weakness, not an illness, just a learned pattern that can be undone.
Anxiety treatment in Duesseldorf and online, with the experience of over 10,000 coaching hours.
Anxiety Treatment in Duesseldorf & Online
Anxiety and panic follow the same pattern: both are false alarms of your nervous system. At some point in your life, your system learned to classify a certain situation as threatening, and still does so today. Even when there is no real danger anymore.
Sometimes the pattern is simple: one experience, one clear trigger. Sometimes it's complex: woven into other themes, embedded in attempts at self-protection, layered over years. Even then it can be understood and undone.
I'll show you the way out of the false alarm. And walk it with you.
Now is the right time to free yourself from anxiety if:
- you notice that fear has more control over you than you do
- you keep avoiding the same situations that others handle effortlessly
- you are tired of living with the next panic attack just around the corner
- you no longer want fear to steer your decisions
- you cannot find peace because you keep overthinking everything
- you feel that you actually want to spend your energy on something far more important
Do you have questions about anxiety treatment? Get in touch – I look forward to hearing from you.

I am Birgit.
For over 25 years I have been helping people in my practice in Duesseldorf-Flingern and online to find their way out of anxiety and panic spirals. This includes, for example, fear of exams, presentations, decisions, relationships, confined spaces, terror, dental visits, illness or flying – to name just a few.
Fears influence our lives more than we would like. When they begin to limit daily life, it is time to take a closer look.
About meHow can I help you?
My anxiety treatment in Duesseldorf, in person and online, is tailored to different areas of life: professional, personal, in relationships, or with acute panic attacks.

Fear in Love
Fears hold us back from approaching people the way we actually want to. They prevent us from entering relationships, from naming our needs. Because where there is love, there is no fear. And where there is fear, there is no love.

Panic
Heightened anxiety often shows up as panic. Panic attacks are a physical alarm reaction to a thought or a fear-inducing situation. The right way to deal with panic attacks can be learned, so that they fade away again.

Learn moreFrequent questions
What do I need in order to begin?
You don't have to be inwardly settled or composed first in order to begin. Everything is a process, and it is enough that you are ready to start it. The rest usually develops on its own in our work together.
What happens in the first session?
We do not waste time. I listen carefully, ask the questions that really matter, and look with you at where your fear lives. As soon as I can see what will lead you out of the pattern, we take the first step. Right there, in the same session. You leave not with a plan, but with a real change.
How does a coaching process unfold?
Some coaching processes happen quickly, feel light and lead straight „upwards". Others seem to pass through phases of apparent standstill. Yet others give the impression that setbacks are occurring. Should this happen, we look at it very closely, because my experience has shown me again and again that these moments are telling us we haven't considered something yet, that a sub-aspect of the larger theme has not yet been recognised or worked through, and that the whole thing is therefore happening for a good reason.
How many sessions do I need?
That depends entirely on you and your situation. Some things resolve in three to five sessions, others take longer. My coaching is not a process spanning years. I work in a way that gets you back to acting on your own as quickly as possible – with a clear goal and a clear direction.
Does this also work online?
Very well, in fact. Many of my clients join via video from all across Germany, Austria, Switzerland – sometimes from much further away. The methods work just as well online as they do in my practice in Duesseldorf. What matters is the connection between us – and that comes through the screen too.
I have tried many things already. What is different here?
I hear that often, and I understand it. What is different here: I do not work by the book. I combine exactly what fits you and your situation – from hypnosis, WingWave, NLP, IFS and TRT. We do not stop at understanding. We change.
What happens with a setback?
Setbacks don't really exist. Because: falling back onto something is not possible, since life always moves forward, not backward. So setbacks are in truth signposts. What feels in the first moment like a defeat is valuable information. It shows that a building block in your development is still missing, one that, once it becomes visible and worked through, brings you another step further.
How will I know it is working?
You will often feel it after one or two sessions. The body reacts less strongly, the thoughts grow quieter. What used to make you afraid loses its weight. You notice it because you start doing things again that you had been avoiding – and because you think about the topic less.
