“I still remember my first session with Anna. Leaving her practice that day, I felt as though I could finally breathe freely again. I came to her at a point in my life when I was utterly lost and emotionally exhausted. I was struggling to make sense of experiences that had left me profoundly distraught. From the very beginning, Anna met me with great warmth, compassion, and exceptional analytical clarity. She helped me untangle my emotional patterns and gradually I was able to find my way back to myself. Her guidance was steady, thoughtful, and deeply humane. I remain immensely grateful for her support!”

Founder-led practice
One clinic. Multiple languages. Shared standards.
I founded the International Psychology Clinic to create something that was missing in Munich: a true international clinic where people can access psychological support in their own language, without compromising on quality of care.
Today, I work alongside a carefully selected group of associated therapists who bring different languages, backgrounds and clinical strengths to the practice. While each therapist works independently, we share the same commitment to integrative, evidence-based and culturally sensitive care.
The team
A small, carefully chosen group of psychotherapists.

What we help with
Psychological support for a range of emotional challenges.
The most common reasons people come to us.
Relationships
Relationship Therapy in Munich
Strengthening communication, trust and emotional connection is at the heart of relationship therapy. Whether you come as a couple or on your own, we work on the patterns that leave you feeling distant, misunderstood or stuck in the same arguments — and help you rebuild closeness on more honest, secure foundations.

Expat Mental Health in Munich
Living abroad asks a lot of you. Beyond the practical adjustment, expats often carry a quieter, harder-to-name set of feelings — loss, identity shift, language fatigue, complicated relationships with home. Therapy in your own language, with a therapist who understands the international experience, makes a real difference.
Read more →ADHD in adults
ADHD Support in Munich
Adult ADHD is often missed for decades, especially in high-functioning women and in expats. We offer structured psychological assessment and therapeutic support that takes the diagnosis seriously without pathologising — focused on practical, sustainable change.
Read more →Trauma
Trauma Therapy in Munich
Trauma can come from a single event or from years of small, accumulating experiences — and it shows up in the body as much as in the mind. We work carefully and at your pace, using methods that the research strongly supports for trauma: EMDR, schema work and emotion-focused therapy.
Read more →Burnout & Depression
Burnout & Depression Therapy in Munich
Burnout and depression often overlap — both can leave you exhausted, flat and disconnected from things that once mattered. Burnout is a state of emotional, mental and often physical depletion that builds over months or years, usually in people who care deeply about doing things well; left unaddressed, it can slide into depression. Therapy helps you recover, but more importantly, helps you understand what made the depletion possible in the first place — and how to find your way back to energy and meaning.
Read more →Anxiety
Anxiety Therapy in Munich
Anxiety is one of the most common reasons people reach out to us. In a dynamic city like Munich — with its demands on work, family and identity — it is natural for the nervous system to become overstretched. Therapy helps you understand what your anxiety is responding to, and gives you tools to live and work without being controlled by it.

“I am so grateful that I found Anna's practice here in Munich. I've had regular sessions with Anna now for over a year and a half, and in hindsight, it's clear how much she has helped me make numerous changes in my life (regarding my beliefs, my outlooks, my behaviors). These changes have demonstrably yielded results (in my career, in my relationships) and have improved the quality of my life and well being. Anna is open-minded, nonjudgmental, safe, and validating. She is also honest, and will provide critical feedback when needed and when appropriate. Through this balance, Anna earned my trust as an objective and perceptive therapist. Her English is excellent, and I've always felt heard and seen by her. Despite the grief, pain, and fear that can accompany deep therapeutic work, I've always looked forward to my sessions with Anna. Overall, I highly recommend Anna as a therapist!”
“Anna is a great psychologist and she helped me immensely while I was living in Germany. I didn’t have my family there nor childhood friends, it wasn’t my culture, my people… so having her made me feel safer and understood… so much so that, after I went back to reside in my home country I still have her as my therapist and plan on keep having her as such. She is very worried, empathetic, and makes the sessions feel comfortable where talking about heavy things feels freeing not scary. Keep up the good work Anna I’m very grateful for your help :)”
