Heilpraktiker für Psychotherapie
Counselling in Berlin
My name is Sebastian Letelier-Lobos, I am a British-native Clinical Psychologist (M.A.) and Non-medical Psychotherapeutic practitioner. I offer 1-1 counselling in Berlin, either online or in-person, in English. If you are interested in working together in-person I currently work from a shared practice in Schillerkiez.
The foundation of my approach is in contemporary Psychodynamic theory. I believe it attempts to see the individual in the most complete sense, and through my own personal therapy, is the most rewarding.
When we say “Psychodynamic”, this means we work with the understanding that we have an unconscious, something that is not within our conscious awareness, that exists in the there and then, and the conscious, which is present in the here and now. The unconscious is what drives us in our conscious, waking lives. However, we are often unaware of its influence on us, which is why working with a therapist is helpful.
The unconscious is developed in infancy, shaped by our earliest experiences, our family environment, early attachments with our caregivers, all the way up to the present day. These are themes that we may discuss, including your thoughts and emotions about them, whether they feel close to mind, or far and distant, heavy or light. We will work to name them, bringing them to the present in a safe manner where they can be expressed, and worked through.
This process will help us understand how or why you are experiencing difficulty in certain areas of your life. Using this awareness we can approach these situations with care, and attempt to adjust responses and behaviours to create a sense of balance that may be lacking currently.
I work to create a safe space that is just for you. Somewhere you can arrive with whatever you are carrying, and we can look at it together. From my own experience in training, therapy and supervision, talking really helps. Sharing what’s on our minds can help us make sense of what we’re feeling, and welcome the emotions that are at times tough to experience. Once we bring them into this safe space, we may find that they become lighter, and easier to let go.
If you feel stuck, a sense of emptiness, loneliness, sorrow, or general sense of unease or dread, please feel free to reach out. Together we will build a safe space for you, where we can explore your inner world, and work to better understand the pain you are experiencing.
