I am Katharina Westphal, I hold a Master of Science (MSc) in Psychology from the University of Liverpool. I am additionally certified to support people through life challenges, trauma, eating disorders, burnout, addiction, and perinatal (fertility, pregnancy, and postpartum) challenges.

Before moving into this field, I lived in various countries and I worked for many years in marketing within major FMCG companies. This gave me a real understanding of everyday pressures—high expectations, constant demands, and the challenge of balancing work, relationships, family and personal well-being—which continues to inform my approach today.

Using evidence-based modalities such as CBT, EMDR, and mindfulness-based therapy, I individualize each treatment to best support your therapeutic goals.

wHAT IS MY PASSION?

I believe that everyone needs a space where they can share their thoughts and feelings and be accepted unconditionally, to become the best version of themselves. That each human being has the capacity to heal themselves if supported properly.

My work is grounded in evidence-based approaches and a belief in each person’s capacity to grow and heal. I offer a space of unconditional acceptance, with thoughtful, in-depth support tailored to the nuances of your life.

my 3 step Therapeutic Approach

  • Regulate

    We begin by learning how to regulate your body and mind so that you feel safe enough to explore your past, your worries, and current life challenges.

  • Reflect

    With a greater sense of stability, we gently reflect on past experiences and current patterns, making sense of how they affect you today.

  • Reconnect

    We strengthen resilience, support new ways of relating, and help you move forward with greater clarity and self-trust.

A lover of life, animals, kiddos and learning. Nature is an important source of grounding and energy for me. I find restoration outdoors and with my horse, and this connection shapes my work—bringing calm, presence, and respect for each person’s pace into the support I offer.
