Vera NDiaye, Bonn

English speaking clients are welcome!

Sometimes life is hard and we become overwhelmed and disconnected from ourselves and others. I strive to help clients restore and re-connect — to themselves and to the world around them in a way that is positive and life-affirming.

To this end, I attend to the whole person: listening to the mind, body, heart and spirit of an individual and honoring the wisdom present within each person.

My counselling topics are varied and wide-ranging:

Anxiety and Stress
Depression
Life Transitions
Grief and Loss
Parenting and family Issues
Relationship Struggles
Couples issues
Anger and Impulse Management
Trauma
Spiritual Crises

Holding therapy sessions in natural settings can be an excellent way to deepen the therapeutic process. Nature-based therapy begins by first meeting with me indoors at my office location. After a therapeutic rapport and sense of safety have been established, outdoor sessions can then be scheduled according to need.

With my wide set of trainings and diverse backgrounds and expertise, I employ many therapeutic approaches:
Body based psychotherapies, expressive arts, mindfulness-based approaches, narrative therapy, and others.
