Hi, I'm Wiebke. I'm a psychotherapist and counsellor based in the Northern Rivers.
Rather than focusing on symptoms alone, I aim to understand the whole person, helping you make sense of your thoughts, emotions, body and life experiences. Together, we'll develop practical tools and greater self-awareness to support meaningful, lasting change.
My professional background includes psychology training in Germany and clinical work within the NSW Acute Care Mental Health Service. Before becoming a therapist, I also trained as a yoga teacher and hypnotherapist. These different experiences continue to shape my integrative, evidence-based approach to psychotherapy and counselling, bringing together an understanding of mind, body, relationships and the nervous system.
Education & Experience
I completed my psychology training at the University of Bremen in Germany, with a focus on Clinical and Organisational Psychology. My professional experience spans private practice, hospital settings and mental health services in Germany and Australia. I currently work within the NSW Acute Care Mental Health Service alongside my private psychotherapy and counselling practice in Mullumbimby.

Therapy Is More Than a Technique
I believe good therapy is about more than techniques and tools. While my approach is integrative and informed by evidence-based therapies, the therapeutic relationship is at the heart of the work.
For me, this means being fully present, listening carefully and taking the time to understand the person in front of me, not simply the symptoms they bring. Therapy is a collaborative process, where we can explore patterns, emotions, relationships and experiences with curiosity, while also developing practical ways to create change.
I aim to provide a space that feels safe, respectful and genuine, where you can develop greater understanding of yourself and gradually find different ways of responding to the challenges in your life.
