ABOUT YOUR THERAPIST
Anke Nunheim, M.Sc.
English-Speaking Psychotherapist (CBT)
in Berlin-Kreuzberg & Online
I am a licensed psychological psychotherapist (Approbierte Psychologische Psychotherapeutin) based in Berlin-Kreuzberg. I offer psychotherapy and coaching in German and English – in person and online. With over 15 years of clinical experience across hospitals, outpatient clinics and private practice, I bring both depth and flexibility to my work.
MY APPROACH
Evidence-based. Integrative. Person-centred.
My practice is grounded in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) – one of the most thoroughly researched forms of psychotherapy. I integrate Schema Therapy for deeper work on longstanding patterns and early experiences, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to build psychological flexibility and resilience. I also draw on mindfulness and, where helpful, hypnotherapeutic techniques.
My aim is always a therapeutic relationship built on trust, honesty and respect. The evidence shows that the quality of the therapeutic relationship is the most important predictor of treatment success – and I take that seriously.
