Qualified psychologist, licensed depth-psychotherapist, business coach, instructor for coaches and supervisor

Turmoil in life, separations, changes in the job, illness or death: When dealing with difficult emotional situations, learning to live with them, or making them work for you, Helga Odendahl accompanies and supports motivated people.
The collaboration with Helga Odendahl is characterized by an analytical approach coupled with feeling and honest straightforwardness. Starting points for the process are usually blockades, fears, depression or trauma, subconscious causes or a self-image which hinders personal development.
The psychotherapeutic perspective of depth psychology, which Helga Odendahl bases her therapeutic work on, focuses on deeper causes which influence behavior and create blockades. The gentle approach to the emotional inner workings of a person gradually dissolves those barriers – for more self-determination for your life and your personal development.
