Birgit Boettcher – Resume & Qualifications

Birgit Boettcher – Licensed Practitioner for Psychotherapy in Duesseldorf

I love people, and I have always loved maths problems. For me, every session contains both: a person I really enjoy meeting, and a task that wants to be solved the way a maths problem does.

When you call me, I'll ask precise questions, and almost always I can already tell you in the first conversation how many sessions we'll need. Listening closely is my strength, and I use it to uncover every aspect that belongs to your problem.

I know quite reliably which step comes when, so you don't have to figure out the way forward yourself. With me it can be both light-hearted and very serious, depending on what the moment calls for.

I am very open and honest. Also about what I have experienced myself, when it helps us move forward, so that you can find yourself in it.
