About me

As a coach for neurodivergent people (AD(H)D, autism spectrum, high sensitivity), I support my clients in my practice in Winterthur to structure their everyday life more clearly, regulate stress and shape their own self-determined path.

For many years I have worked as an interpreter for authorities such as the police, the courts, migration services and social services. In this work I support people in often complex and stressful situations, and I have learned to listen closely, to grasp connections quickly and to convey calm and clarity even in challenging moments.

I work in a structured, resource-oriented and practical way, with an eye on self-efficacy, sustainable routines and lasting development. It is especially important to me to strengthen my clients' existing resources and independence, so that they can find their own coherent solutions.

An undiagnosed ADHD accompanied me from an early age. The resulting symptoms weighed on me heavily: difficulties with concentration and sleep, motor restlessness, trouble finishing projects, a constant search for new stimuli combined with sensory overload in loud places, and a range of further psychological consequences arising from these neurological predispositions. In my search for a cause, I spent a long time exploring psychology, genetics and self-management, among other subjects, in an effort to help myself.

When this eventually led to a burnout in 2023, an assessment revealed my ADHD, which cast many aspects of my life in a new light. Suddenly I found the right approach to many challenges whose solutions had previously eluded me despite my best efforts.

Around the same time, I accompanied a diagnostic process within the autism spectrum among those close to me — this time not as the person affected, but as someone alongside, thinking, feeling and carrying it with them. This dual perspective shapes my work to this day: I know the experience from the inside, from my own story, and I also know the view of the people around — the partners, families and loved ones who want to understand and often reach their own limits. This bridge between the inner and the outer perspective matters greatly to me in my work, because neurodivergence rarely concerns just a single person; it always involves a whole web of relationships.

A common thread running through all these experiences was high sensitivity. Many neurodivergent people perceive stimuli, moods and subtle nuances more intensely than those around them — this can be a great strength, for instance in empathy, attention to detail and creative thinking, yet in everyday life it is often experienced as overwhelm when the environment makes no allowance for it. I have learned, for myself, to understand this fine perception not as a deficit but as a resource, and to create corresponding spaces for protection and self-shaping. It is precisely this focus — the interplay of ADHD, the autism spectrum and high sensitivity — that lies at the heart of my work.

The relief and the life-changing insights that emerged from these experiences strengthened my resolve to support neurodivergent people professionally. In other words, it is my aim to use the experience and knowledge I have gathered to shorten, as much as possible, other neurodivergent people's path to their own solutions — because I know how many people find themselves in a similar situation of constant, fruitless searching for a solution. For this reason, I completed a DAS in ADHD and Autism Coaching and Counselling with a focus on high sensitivity at the PLI® (Praxis für Lösungsimpulse).

My background in creative writing also shapes my work: it has sharpened my feel for language, nuance and personal life stories.

Since I want to support my clients as well as possible, I place great value on training and continuing education that gives me new tools and approaches. In August 2026 I will complete the Stress Management and Resiliency Training (SMART) at Harvard Medical School — a scientifically grounded programme for stress management and building resilience, developed on the basis of neurobiology, mindfulness research and positive psychology. In September I will take the first module of the EMI training (Eye Movement Integration) at the IBP, in order to better help with blockages using a neurobiologically grounded technique. In November 2026 I will also complete the training as a coach in Intuitive Trauma-Heilung (intuitive trauma healing, ITH). This method makes it possible to release distressing experiences and blockages in an intuitive way — and, after an introduction by the coach, gives clients tools to apply it independently. Both methods are especially close to my heart for the way they foster self-efficacy and autonomy. As a neurodivergent coach in Winterthur, I support you in shaping your own path.
