What I mostly care about
Sometimes a good chat with a friend can mean a lot, specially when you came on a dead track. Inspite this you might feel the need to talk with someone independent in order to get on with your journey with his or her help.
In this case an advicing dialooge with a counselor can be of good help.
Besides life and eye to eye contact, also a dialoge via a medium like internet can be a good solution
In this case your thoughts come trough the keyboard on the screen of someone who payes full attention to you.
while you stay at home in your own private place.
You can write at any moment you like (e-mail) and expect an answer what was writting with full and serious attention.
Or directly get in contact on a given time and date to get into an open dialoge with your counselor.

What I have to offer about wandering around in your mind is first aid by getting into a dialoge with you.
With the help of imagination trough and with words we might get something to go by and find a direction.
What I can do is to follow you on the track you went and got lost on.
Help you direct your attention and focus on the knot in your life-thread.
Communication is like an adventure, and we can go on journey together for a while, by which I offer you a helping hand.
- Experiencing
- On the one hand thinking and wanting to understand, play's a role, on the other hand it can be
evident seeking contact with your feelings unconsciously living inside is needed. What I offer
are playful tools to call up words or images that give expression to such feelings. Through
visualization, associating on given conceptions or by making up your own fairy tales, for
example, a lot can be clarified. Your Astrological birthchart can be seen as a plane of
projection where your psychological structure is shown. It gives an archtypal image that tells a
story in a beautiful way. My translation of that abstract image can serve in bringing structure
to your most essential questions.However, it will always be in context to your own life and all
that goes on within it. Your story will become visible by communicating it. I play my part in
your story by offering you my thoughts and feelings always keeping in mind our main goal of
activating the forces that lie dormant within you.
- Giving support
- From my side I offer support by listening and reacting.
For myself an astrological birthchart can be a tool to gain more insight.
Via symbolic language, astrology offers tools to translate your psychological dynamic forces.
What can be of great help in life's issues.
- Your own story
- Main point however is your own lifestory and the way you experience life.
This story shows through communication. Thinking and feeling with you I will contribute in your developing awareness.
Maingoal is activating the sources of power within your self. Most important is your own responsibility to create and rule your life.
Everybody can strike a wall at certain moment and experiences this in relation to his environment.
One person sees it from the perspective of a process of personal growth, a challenge.
The other feels painfully confronted.
- Astrology
- Astrology contains beautifull symbolic language which
can help to sort out the chaos of impressions, in order to give some meaning to it.
Translating this makes me feel happy and amazed,
because of the insight it gives me in the riddles it so all of a sudden can enlighten.
Thats why I like to use it as a source of inspiration.
Treasure for a better understanding of the world in which we live.
Giving from this creates joy and a good heart to pick up the luggage of life
and grab the chances announcing themselves.
I prefer not to provoce any misunderstanding that astrology, for me is not a magyc tool
To fortell you what should or is going to happen.
- Image of humankind
- I perceive each human individual as a unice creature with one's own world of
experience and potential forces to get in connection with others.
Besides I mean we all have some common ground.
Many give to understand they are seeking a unification with the higher
spiritual world. While each of us gives shape to there believe o there own manner.
And uses morals and values as leading thread. Old gnosis, remaning actual,
furnish in image and symbolism beautifull material as support in our thinking and wondering why.
I seek silence in absence or with others to get in touche with the source inside.
To get to know and learn to see the other in the contact.
In my work "the other" is central and I follow your story by foot inorder to get closer to your core.
- Creativity
- Stories, metaphores can be used perfectly as a tool to give shape to abstract concepts.
Trough the work of your imagination I want to stimulate you to poor from your sources.
For my own sake I love to use images, in oder to communicate the wisdom
of astrological or psychological symbolism. And connect it with your world of experience,
if you question me about it.
- Methods commonly
- I suggest sessions of round about one hour.
Most of the time we just talk. Some other time I introduce a relaxation
and visualistion. Or work with the intuïtion using cards or words and
make associations.
Every dialoge is an adventure and mutual exploration for central theme's starting with the one's that come up front.
When the the client brings a C90 tape this dialoge can be saved for you
to overhear it on a later moment at back home.
The first meeting is to get to know each other and agree on what terms we will work together and to make a plan.
- Methods using internet
- Now every dialoge also is a mutual search for starting points.
Difference is we work through writing and without seeing each other.
It might happen I draw a chart from the moment your first question reaches me through ICQ or mail.
I can use this as a source of information to get inspiration in the communication just started.
It can help clearifying your question or problems
