For German-speaking clients in Germany or elsewhere in the EU
Psychological counselling & coaching — online, in German.
I’m Carolin Plankl, an M.Sc. psychologist and German state-licensed psychotherapist, trained in cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT). In the UK, I work as a psychotherapist — and for clients living in Germany or Europe, I offer psychological counselling and coaching.

See the psychotherapy offer- Counselling, not Psychotherapy
- For most psychotherapists, working with clients in Germany normally requires an initial in-person meeting. Since I’m not able to offer that, I provide psychological counselling and coaching instead.
- Support without Diagnostic Assessment
- I don’t carry out diagnostic assessments or assign diagnoses as part of this offer. If it becomes clear during our work together that a clinically significant condition may be present, I’ll talk this through with you openly and help you to find the right support.
How I work
It’s not about fighting your feelings — it’s about finding a steadier way to carry them.
My approach is strongly acceptance-based — I draw on methods including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), to help us find a steadier way of relating to whatever feels difficult right now. As a licensed psychotherapist, I bring solid clinical grounding with me — though here, that takes the form of psychological counselling, not psychotherapy.
It’s important to me to understand someone’s individual story — including how they grew up — because that’s often where a difficult relationship pattern or an intense emotional reaction really stems from.
Topics
Areas of focus
Distress counts, even without a diagnosis. Whether my offer fits your situation is something we’ll work out together in the free introductory call.
Managing stress
When switching off feels hard, and your mind keeps circling back to unfinished tasks.
Anxiety & Everyday Tension
Worry, tension, or a fear of failure that impacts daily life.
Working with Anger
Outbursts, or built-up anger that puts a strain on relationships.
Loss & Grief
When loss or separation leaves a gap that’s hard to fill.
Life Transitions
Moving, living abroad, a new job, starting a family — so much can change at once, and there isn’t always room to process it.
Relationships & Decisions
Broken trust, jealousy, or difficult decisions you don’t want to face alone.
I accompany these concerns here in a counselling capacity, not as psychotherapy. No diagnosis is made and no mental health condition is treated.
