Psychotherapy
What is on your mind?
You do not need to put a label on your concerns before getting in touch. We can explore what needs support and whether this practice is a suitable fit.
Therapy in German and English
A personal perspective
Children, young people and those around them.
Feelings, school, family or daily life may raise different questions. Annika Gubisch begins with the individual circumstances and the young person’s perspective when considering how to work together.
Ages 0–12
Children
Children express feelings in different ways. Play, creative materials and understandable conversations can offer a way to begin. Annika Gubisch adapts the approach and authorised caregiver involvement to age and concerns.

Understanding connections. Trying practical steps.
Thoughts, feelings and behaviour influence one another. Cognitive behavioural therapy explores these everyday connections, including difficulties, strengths, helpful experiences and personal goals.
Listening and understanding
What is difficult, when does it happen, and what already helps? Annika Gubisch develops a professional assessment through personal conversation.
Agreeing goals together
Goals and next steps are discussed clearly and shaped around the concerns and daily life. The role of caregivers is also agreed.
Including everyday life
Agreed steps or small exercises may be tried between conversations. Those experiences are considered together, and the approach can be adjusted when needed.

Get to know one another. Then decide together.
Begin with a question. Personal conversation clarifies whether the approach and practical arrangements fit your circumstances.
A brief enquiry
You do not need a referral from a doctor and can contact the practice directly. Contact the practice by email or telephone. Your name, contact details and a short question are enough to begin. Agree a transfer route for confidential documents personally.
Clarifying goals and next steps
Annika Gubisch begins by asking about the young person’s goals. You then consider what has already been tried, its results and changes since the enquiry. Together, you agree suitable next steps and discuss caregiver involvement individually.
Agreeing the framework
Goals, appointments, costs and collaboration are agreed. A regular session usually lasts about 45 minutes; frequency and overall duration depend on individual circumstances. During a crisis, an agreed session may take longer.
