Psychological Support in Frankfurt am Main
Luisa Köhler · Psychologist (M.Sc.)
when pressure, self-criticism, rumination or your relationship with food and your body take up too much space.
For people who function well on the outside — and reach their limits inside.
Psychological Counselling · Systemic-Integrative Psychotherapy
Many of the people who come to me appear stable and reflected on the outside. Inside it often feels different: tense, exhausted, in a constant struggle with themselves — at work, in relationships, or in how they relate to food, exercise and their own body.
Counselling or therapy can help you understand these patterns better, find more inner orientation, and develop a different way of relating to pressure, self-criticism and control.
What I Work With
Focus Areas
Pressure & Exhaustion
- ●You keep functioning, but feel constantly tense inside
- ●It's hard to switch off or truly rest
- ●You put yourself under a lot of pressure
- ●You often feel you're not doing enough
Self-Criticism & Rumination
- ●Your inner critic is harsh and always present
- ●You think a lot, but rarely arrive at ease
- ●You doubt yourself or your worth
- ●Perfectionism and high standards weigh on you
Food, Body Image & Control
- ●Food takes up a lot of mental space
- ●You experience control, restriction or guilt around eating
- ●Exercise feels like pressure or compensation, not freedom
- ●Your mood depends strongly on how you see your body
Transitions & Reorientation
- ●A tension is building and something needs to shift
- ●You're in a personal or professional transition
- ●You're facing a difficult decision
- ●You're looking for clarity, grounding and orientation
My Approach
My work is systemically grounded. That means I don't look at what burdens you in isolation, but always in the context of your life situation, relationships, roles, expectations and recurring patterns. I work solution-oriented and resource-focused, and draw on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy when helpful.
What matters to me is that you are neither judged prematurely nor reduced to a simple explanation.
A Bit About Me
I'm a psychologist (M.Sc., Clinical Psychology, Goethe University Frankfurt) and systemic counsellor. I hold a state-recognised licence for non-medical psychotherapy — which means I'm authorised to work psychotherapeutically outside the statutory health-insurance system.
Alongside my academic and clinical training, I bring experience from the corporate world (talent development, consulting, HR). That helps me in working with people who carry a lot, achieve a lot, and often appear composed on the outside while feeling under pressure inside.
