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.
Anna leads the clinical work. Associated therapists work independently and bring their own languages, training and specialties.

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 support
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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
