LivelyFuture – Therapy & Services

On this page I would like to welcome you to LivelyFuture Counselling, my Private Practice. 

Here I support individuals, couples, and families who long for more connection, trust, and inner peace — especially in times of loss, exhaustion, life transitions, or relationship struggles as a Registered Psychotherapist in Ontario, Canada, and licensed Psychotherapist (Heilpraktikerin für Psychotherapie) in Germany.

My approach combines evidence-based psychotherapy with a deep trust in healing, growth, and the power of emotional connection.

A Personal Journey Toward Therapy

Every person carries their own story – and mine deeply shapes the way I accompany others today.
My work is not only grounded in professional training, but also in personal experience – born from love, loss, faith, and new beginnings.

My Therapeutic Services

Individual Therapy

For those who want to better understand themselves, find calm, or navigate life’s challenges with more clarity.

Common themes include:

• Grief, burnout, or emotional exhaustion
• Anxiety, inner emptiness, or depression
• Self-worth, identity, and personal growth
• Spirituality and meaning

Couple Therapy – Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT)

For couples who wish to rebuild closeness, trust, and understanding.
Even in crises — after conflict, distance, or betrayal — I help you rediscover one another and reconnect emotionally.

Family Therapy – EFFT

For parents, teens, and families who feel stuck in painful patterns and want to restore communication and emotional safety.
In family work, we focus not on blame, but on connection and understanding.

Supervision & Training

As a Certified ICEEFT EFT Therapist and Supervisor-in-Training, I offer supervision and growth opportunities for therapists and counsellors who wish to deepen their EFT practice — available in English and German, worldwide and online.

Christian Counselling

If faith is an important part of your healing journey, I offer therapy that can gently integrate Christian and spiritual perspectives — always open-minded, respectful, and non-dogmatic.

Working Across Cultures & Languages

As a German-Canadian therapist, I work with clients from diverse cultural backgrounds.
I offer sessions in English and German, with sensitivity and respect for individual stories and cultural contexts.

My practice is based in Ontario, Canada, and I offer sessions online or in person.
I also work with clients in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland.
Please note: In Austria and Switzerland, I provide counselling and coaching rather than regulated psychotherapy.

Because crises are never planned.

Being accessible for my clients during difficult moments is deeply important to me.
If you find yourself in an acute emotional crisis, I offer short emergency sessions (about 30 minutes) —
to ease the intensity of the moment, bring clarity and orientation, and help you breathe and feel more clearly again.

Why I use first names

I choose to use first names in my work because therapy is a space of authentic human connection — not distance.

Using first names helps create warmth and openness, while maintaining respect and professional boundaries.

The intention is simply to foster a sense of safety, trust, and genuine presence.

Life in Ontario – My Family and Our Cat

I live in Ontario with my wonderful son Matthew, who reminds me every day of the resilience, joy, and love we all carry within us.
Our small family also includes Snowflake, our affectionate black cat with a few white spots — a lively whirlwind and gentle companion in everyday life.

Helping People Live with Joy and Purpose

When I’m not in sessions, I’m passionate about creating courses, workshops, and online resources that help people design a more joyful, balanced, and fulfilling life.
In the LivelyFuture Academy, you’ll find practical, down-to-earth, and inspiring tools to bring more lightness, connection, and self-compassion into daily life.

My Heart for this Work

Some people find me through my professional expertise, others through my personal story.
Both belong together — knowledge and humanity.

I believe therapy is more than a set of techniques;
it’s an encounter that restores trust, courage, and connection.
