For Press & Media
Media Work
As an M.Sc. psychologist and doctoral researcher in cognitive psychology, I bring together scientific grounding and over ten years of practical counselling experience.
I am happy to be available for interviews, commentary and expert contributions — precise, accessible and with a clear point of view.
My focus areas: couples therapy, relationship crises, trust, burnout, and the psychological implications of location-independent lifestyles (expats, long-distance relationships, remote work).
Quick response on current topics
For day-to-day reporting I reply within 24 hours. Short-notice enquiries are warmly welcome.
