About Rosa

For me, the person is always in the foreground, and everyone is individual and unique. Therapy duration should be as short as possible.

I draw on a wide range of training and techniques. Gestalt therapy and integrative therapy at FPI are part of my background, from 1984 to 1991.

I hold a Diplom in Psychology from the Universität Bremen, completed in 1990. I hold a Diplom in Social Pedagogy from the FHS Hannover, completed in 1984.

How Rosa works

The person stays in the foreground. I try to see someone in their current situation, and to support them while they find their own way. Cognitive behavioural therapy is a method I use, alongside the gestalt and integrative background from FPI. Body and trauma therapy, including EMDR and EFT, are part of my background as well. Cancer is among the concerns I offer help with, and psycho-oncology is part of my practice. What I hope you take away is support that fits the situation you are in now, and a way forward that is your own.

Approaches

General information from Kyan about each method, not a description of how Rosa works.

Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT)

Cognitive behavioural therapy looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions keep each other going. Together you notice the patterns that hold a problem in place and try out new ways of thinking and acting, often with small practical tasks between sessions. It is widely used for anxiety, low mood, stress and sleep problems.

Trauma-focused therapy

Trauma-focused therapy is a family of approaches designed for the effects of frightening or overwhelming experiences. Usually the work starts with feeling safer and more stable, and only then turns to the memories themselves, at a pace you can manage. It can help with flashbacks, fear, numbness and other after-effects of trauma.

Who do you work with best?

I work with adults and with adolescents. I offer help with depression, anxiety, obsessive-compulsive difficulties, eating disorders and weight concerns, substance use, cancer, stressful situations, and the effects of trauma. Everyone is individual and unique, and I try to perceive each person in their current situation. The work fits someone who wants support to find their own way, and who wants the therapy kept as short as it can be.

What do you bring to your work?

I bring cognitive behavioural therapy, a gestalt and integrative background, and a background in body and trauma therapy that includes EMDR and EFT. I also bring supervision and self-experience, for individuals and for case work in institutions.

What experience do you have?

My practice work began in Hannover and Konstanz in 1984, and I have had my psychotherapeutic practice in Zürich since October 1996. Earlier roles include Violetta e.V., GAIA e.V. in Hannover, Ulmenhof in Ottenbach, the psychiatric clinic in Münsterlingen, and the acute adolescent ward at the University of Zürich. From August 2009 until December 2019 I worked as a psycho-oncologist in a breast centre and in palliative care in Aarau, Baden, and Olten, and I then continued in my own practice.
