Scope and Limits

My work is organised in three online offerings: psychotherapy under my licence according to the German Heilpraktikergesetz, individual work, and psychedelic integration. What each offering contains is described on its own page.

This page is about something else: the limits of my work, and when another form of help matters more.

What I don’t offer

• no acute crisis or emergency care
• no medical or psychiatric treatment
• no diagnostics and no treatment of severe psychiatric conditions that require medical or psychiatric care
• no substances, no recommendation to take illegal substances, and no accompaniment of psychedelic journeys
• no promises of healing, no guarantee of particular outcomes

When other help matters more

Please reach out to medical or psychiatric care if you are in an acute crisis or if you experience strong symptoms, such as suicidal thoughts, psychotic experiences, mania, severe depression, an acute addiction crisis, strong dissociation, or the sense that you can no longer manage daily life.

In acute emergencies, please contact your local emergency services or a psychiatric crisis line.

Referral

If it becomes clear in a first conversation or later in the process that another form of support would be more fitting or safer, I will say so openly. In some situations it can make sense to seek medical or psychiatric care alongside, or before, this work.
