Psychological Counseling – When Clarity and Orientation are Missing

Do these thoughts sound familiar? Perhaps you are at a turning point – or you simply feel that something is no longer right, without being able to pinpoint it exactly. Recurring conflicts, stressful situations, or internal blockages can hold us back, even though we want to move forward. Or maybe you feel: Things can't go on like this – but how then? You sense that something needs to change – but don't yet know how?
Do you want to understand yourself better, resolve old patterns, and embark on new paths?
Sometimes, all it takes is the right impulse to find your balance again.
Psychological Counseling - Birgit Baumann

Gain Clarity – Understand Deeply – Realign

Life challenges us – through upheavals, multiple crises, life events, decision pressure, tensions, or quiet questions that operate beneath the surface. Maybe you feel blocked, exhausted, or disoriented.

In my psychological counseling, it's not just about solutions for the obvious, but about understanding what lies deeper: How do unconscious patterns, old beliefs, or emotional imprints affect your thinking, feeling, and acting? I provide you with space for reflection, growth, and new perspectives.

With analytical depth, a solid psychological background, and the connection of Western psychology and Eastern experiential teachings, I support you in developing new perspectives and realigning yourself internally – clear, vibrant, and powerful.

Find your way back to yourself – to the trust that rests within you, to the clarity about what really matters, and to the strength to forge new paths.

What clients say

Experience reports from people I was able to accompany on their journey.

Birgit Baumann advised me on an important career decision, and I am absolutely satisfied. I felt very well taken care of and understood by her from the beginning. Birgit took a lot of time to analyze my situation precisely and show me various options. I was particularly impressed by the combination of excellent competence and empathetic care. Every one of my concerns was taken seriously, and the counseling was always tailored to my individual needs. The clear, practical advice and helpful impulses helped me greatly in making a clear decision.

Birgit Baumann is simply wonderful. I work with her again and again when I need a new perspective or concrete help with leadership issues. With her professional and caring manner, she manages to tackle difficult topics while always keeping the development of one's own aspects in mind.

Frequently Asked Questions about Psychological Counseling

Answers to frequently asked questions about my counseling services.

Psychological counseling focuses on coping with specific life problems, conflicts, or crises and is often shorter-term. Psychotherapy, on the other hand, treats mental illnesses with diagnostic value and, in addition to coping strategies and resource strengthening, also addresses the emotional and biographical causes of problems. As a licensed psychotherapist (Heilpraktikerin für Psychotherapie), I can also offer psychotherapy for conflict experiences (intrapsychic or in relationships) without requiring a diagnosis. Both approaches can overlap, and we clarify in the initial consultation what is suitable for you or how deeply you wish to engage with your biography. As a self-payer, there are fundamentally no diagnostic entries in the health insurance medical records.
A session usually lasts 60 minutes. The frequency of sessions (e.g., weekly, bi-weekly, or in monthly intervals) depends on your needs and goals. We discuss this individually.
Psychological counseling is generally a self-pay service. You may be able to claim this service for tax purposes. Please clarify this with your tax advisor in advance. As a self-payer, you enjoy advantages such as quick appointment scheduling and no entries in your health insurance records.
Yes, in addition to appointments at my practice in Bochum, I also offer online counseling via secure video conferencing systems. This allows you flexibility, regardless of your location.
