More about Ulrich

  • 7 years' experience
  • Male

Welcome.

My name is Ulrich, and I’m here for people who feel stuck in themselves, in their relationships, or in systems where they no longer feel at home.

Maybe you’re feeling exhausted, overwhelmed, or emotionally drained.

Maybe you’ve been holding it all together for too long, trying to stay strong, while deep down you no longer know how to keep going.

You don’t have to carry it all alone. For over seven years, I’ve supported people who feel different from the rest — those struggling with burnout, sensory overload, stress, anxiety, or the sense that they’ve lost themselves along the way. Often, these are individuals with a rich inner world, neurodivergent minds, and/or people who have spent their lives trying to fit into a world that wasn’t built for them.

In our sessions, everything is welcome. I listen without judgment, offer calm and clarity, and help you make sense of the inner chaos. Together, we explore what’s holding you back and more importantly, where your strength lives. Not as a performance or quick fix, but as something that can grow again from within.

I bring experience as a psychologist, coach, trainer, and psychology lecturer. But more than anything, I bring presence. I’m truly here, with attention and care.

Clients often tell me they finally felt safe to be honest, that they didn’t have to pretend anymore.

If something in you feels ready to take that next step, I’d be honored to walk that first part of the path with you.

And it’s from that sense of safety that real change can begin, in your own time, in your own direction.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.

Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
