Services
What can you expect from me? I support families whose children experience the world differently – with counseling, body-based methods and professional input for everyone involved.
Understanding autism is teamwork: parents, school, Kita (daycare / nursery) and the Jugendamt (youth welfare office) all pull in the same direction – when everyone shares the same basic understanding. That is exactly where I support you. My work combines solid professional expertise as a certified autism specialist and biomedical scientist (M.Sc.) with the lived experience of being a mother of two neurodivergent children. The pages below set out what I offer in detail.

Tellington TTouch for you®Gentle, mindful touch for relaxation, stress reduction and self-regulation – a holistic method that, in my experience, can be especially supportive for autistic people. It can complement other approaches, but is a complementary well-being method, not a substitute for medical or therapeutic treatment.

How it works & costs
The first step is always a free, no-obligation initial consultation. We get to know each other, you describe your situation, and together we clarify which kind of support fits you and your child.
- Sessions in person and online: you choose what works best for your family – on site or conveniently online.
- Costs & funding: whether counseling costs may be covered under § 35a SGB VIII (integration assistance for children and adolescents under German social law) is decided case by case by the Jugendamt (youth welfare office) – feel free to ask me about it.
- Counseling in your language: German, English, Serbian, Croatian or Bosnian – whichever feels most comfortable for you.
If you are in the United Kingdom: that German funding route has no counterpart there, so counselling with me is paid privately. What the state does provide — an EHC plan in England, additional support needs in Scotland, and the disability benefits for your child — is set out on Support in the UK, with the deadlines and the 2026/27 rates.
Frequently asked questions
Which service is right for us?
If an autism diagnosis is new for your family, the After the diagnosis support is a good place to start. For everyday questions in family life, autism counseling fits well; for relaxation and body awareness, Tellington TTouch for you®; and for teams and institutions, the Talks & Workshops. If you are not sure, we will find the right path together in a free, no-obligation initial consultation.
Online or in person?
Both are possible. Sessions take place by appointment, either in person on site or online – whatever works best for your family.
In which languages?
I offer counseling and support in German, English, Serbian, Croatian and Bosnian.
Note on the legal information
Information on cost coverage, applications and legal bases is compiled to the best of my knowledge but is not legal advice. Whether a benefit is granted in your case is decided solely by the responsible authority; I cannot accept liability.
Status: August 2026. Law, amounts and procedures change — in the UK, benefit rates are normally uprated every April. What applies at the time of your application is what counts; please check it with the office responsible.
