English therapy groups for non-German speakers

This group is for all patients with different psychological challenges who prefer to do therapy in English over German because German is nor ther first language.

Our English-speaking psychotherapy group provides a welcoming environment for individuals facing a range of psychological issues while living away from their home countries. Whether grappling with anxiety, depression, or other mental health concerns, participants find solace in connecting with others who share similar experiences.

Group Focus:

Coping with psychological challenges:
In our group, participants learn to understand the origins of their psychological problems and learn strategies to cope with them. The therapeutic interventions are all based on cognitive behavioural therapy and the latest scientific standard. I also work with clarifying and modifying emotional patterns originating in childhood (Schema therapy), focusing on values, goals and the things that really matter in your life (ACT) as well as deepening emotional experience and processes (EFT). I also frequently use methods from dialectic behavioural therapy (DBT) to help regulating emotional states and interpersonal problems.

Emotional Support and Understanding:
Our psychotherapy group offers a space where individuals can openly discuss their struggles with anxiety, depression, and other mental health challenges without fear of judgment. Living in a foreign country can often exacerbate feelings of isolation and distress. Through shared experiences, participants offer empathy and encouragement to one another, fostering a sense of community and belonging.

Selfworth and Growth:
Our psychotherapy group emphasizes the potential for personal growth and strengthening your sense of selfworth. Participants engage in self-reflection, exploring their identities, values, and aspirations. Through this process, individuals gain insights into their strengths and resilience, empowering them to navigate life’s transitions with greater confidence and purpose.

Procedure and start of group therapy

Interested parties can contact me by e-mail to express their wish to participate. Please briefly state your request and your telephone number. Send your enquiry to mail@psychotherapie-ploch.de

After receiving your e-mail, I will contact you by telephone for a brief preliminary discussion. This will give you the opportunity to ask your questions and receive initial information about the process and content of the group therapy. At the same time, we will use this conversation to gain an initial impression of your individual needs and goals.

After the preliminary telephone consultation, we will arrange a personal one-to-one consultation with me. In this meeting, you will have the opportunity to describe your personal situation in more detail and clarify your therapy concerns. An initial diagnostic assessment will also be carried out to determine whether group therapy meets your individual needs.

In further individual counselling sessions, a comprehensive diagnosis is carried out in order to better understand your specific psychological problems and needs. At the same time, your therapeutic concerns are clarified in order to determine the goals and focus of the treatment.

After the diagnosis and clarification of the therapy concerns, I will invite you to a trial session in the group. This trial session allows you to gain a first impression of the group dynamics, the content and the working style of the group. At the same time, the group members also have the opportunity to get to know you and adjust to you.

If you decide to take part in group therapy after the trial session, I will send an application to your health insurance company, as they have to authorise the therapy, which they usually always do. The costs for group therapy are covered by statutory health insurance.
