Diplom psychologist Dr. Sören Lüdeke, licensed psychological psychotherapist for behavior therapy.
In addition to concrete assistance, a trustful cooperation and a good therapeutic relationship are especially important in psychotherapy. Every step of the therapy should be transparent and you should be involved in determining how the therapy proceeds. The aim is for you to shape your life according to your own goals, wishes and values and to find a protected and safe space in the therapy, in which we can jointly develop new perspectives and options for action for you. It is important that behavioural therapy is based on the state of clinical research.
I work as a behavioural therapist for adults, but I also deal intensively with childhood and adolescence in the form of studies and my own publications. In my work as a therapist I combine, after prior consultation, various current approaches to behavior therapy (including elements from Scheme Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy) and also like to use impulses from depth psychology and psychoanalysis.
