My therapy work
Profound and transformative
Within Urban Monks, therapy rests on two complementary foundations: integrative psychotherapy and Traditional Chinese Medicine. Together, they form a coherent approach in which psyche, body, and energy are understood as interconnected dimensions of one human system. Psychological distress, trauma, or existential questions rarely manifest purely on a mental level. They express themselves in the nervous system, in muscular tension, in breathing patterns, in vitality, and in the way a person experiences themselves and the world. For this reason, therapy moves fluidly between dialogue, awareness-based work, body-oriented interventions, and energetic regulation. The point of entry is always determined by the needs of the individual. For some, it begins with psychotherapeutic processing and structured reflection; for others, with restoring physical regulation and internal balance. The approach is tailored, precise, and integrative.

Integrative Psychotherapeutic Work
Integrative psychotherapeutic work forms the core of the therapeutic process. This includes working with trauma, emotional regulation, identity development, relational patterns, and existential questions. Particular attention is given to how early experiences shape the nervous system and personal narrative, and how these patterns continue to influence present-day functioning. Within this framework, multiple modalities are integrated. Existential counselling supports questions of meaning, direction, responsibility, and authenticity. Mindfulness-based approaches strengthen self-awareness and emotional regulation, creating space between impulse and response. Body-oriented psychotherapy helps identify and process stored tension and implicit memory held within the body. Hypnotherapy is applied when deeper layers of conditioning or trauma require focused access. In carefully guided trance states, underlying beliefs, emotional imprints, and unconscious patterns can be addressed in a structured and safe manner. The emphasis is always on integration: not only gaining insight, but stabilising the nervous system and fostering sustainable change.

​Traditional Chinese Medicine​​
Traditional Chinese Medicine forms a second, fully developed pillar within the therapeutic framework. This domain addresses physical dysregulation, chronic tension, reduced vitality, stress-related complaints, and disturbances in breathing and movement patterns. Particular attention is given to how accumulated strain, lifestyle factors, and emotional processes become embedded in posture, circulation, and energetic balance — and how these patterns continue to shape daily functioning. Within this framework, Medical Qigong and Anmo Tuina are integrated as structured therapeutic methods. Medical Qigong includes targeted movement training, postural alignment, breath regulation, and focused awareness, with the aim of restoring structural balance and strengthening the body’s self-regulatory capacity. Work is directed toward improving resilience, energy management, and the refinement of movement quality, supporting sustainable rather than temporary change. Anmo Tuina applies precise manual techniques to release stagnation, reduce tension, and restore circulation within muscles, fascia, and meridian pathways. Through direct physical intervention, neurological regulation is supported and conditions for deeper recovery are established. The emphasis remains on integration: not merely relieving symptoms, but restoring coherence between structure, function, and energetic balance, allowing vitality and stability to re-emerge in a sustainable way.

​An Integrated Approach
This dual foundation does not represent a separation, but a complementarity. Psychological and somatic-energetic processes continuously influence each other. By working within both domains, therapy becomes broader, more grounded, and more adaptable. Each therapeutic trajectory is tailored. The emphasis may shift over time according to what is needed. What remains constant is a clear, safe, and professionally grounded method aimed at sustainable development and inner stability. If desired, an initial consultation can be used to explore the most appropriate starting point and how the process can be structured.
