Psychological 1:1 support

Get out of functioning mode – into your courageous, authentic self.

Learn how you can trust your own voice for a life that feels like your own — fuller of clarity, self-confidence, and genuine connection to yourself.

Would you like some inspiration on a specific topic? Individual coaching sessions are available for this purpose👇

Bring your topic, your blocking belief, or your current challenge—in a 50-minute session, we’ll start working on it together! To make sure we’re a good fit and to determine which type of session is the right for you, we’ll start with a 20-minute 0€ introductory call. During this call, you can ask any questions you have, and together we’ll figure out the next step. Click here for the calendar tool (if it is not displayed directly below).

I can offer support in the following areas: giftedness, neurodiversity (such as ADHD and high-functioning autism), personal development for self-employed people, attachment and relationship issues, building self-confidence and self-acceptance, and stress.

Would you like to book coaching as a business owner or self-employed individual? If so, please send an email to me************@********il.com. The session price applies to private clients. (For business owners, this price is plus VAT.)

I look forward to seeing you! 😊

1:1 Support for Neurodiverse entrepreneurs

Your partner in navigating the day-to-day realities of self-employment: 3 months for €2,500

(For business owners: plus VAT)

Being self-employed can be tough on your own. Especially when old beliefs creep up on you and that inner voice of doubt is constantly chiming in… Let’s work together to find your path to more ease in your day-to-day business life, self-confidence, and inner peace!

Common topics I work on with self-employed individuals:

  • Beliefs, self-confidence, and fears that are blocking the next step
  • Prioritizing and organizing tasks
  • Optimizing time management and making decisions
  • Rebuilding and preserving your energy
  • Creating a daily routine that fits who you are as a person, rather than simply following some “this is how you do it” blueprints from social media that don’t really work for you

What to Expect from My 1-on-1 Program

3 months of support, 6 intensive sessions, including asynchronous daily guidance via chat and online documents. Ideal for breaking old patterns, regulating emotions, and for those with ADHD and self-employed individuals (body doubling, establishing routines, and daily backup support where we work together to prioritize and structure your day, for example). Note: Also available as a 6-month package for €4,500.

Let’s have a chat—no strings attached

Client Perspectives – Experiences with 1:1 Support for Gifted, Neurodivergent, and Self-Employed Individuals

  • Working with Melanie has really helped me bring more clarity and structure back into my challenging daily work routine. With Melanie’s support, I’ve learned strategies for setting better priorities and not getting constantly bogged down in a thousand to-dos. With her guidance, I’ve started planning my days more realistically and focusing on the two essential things that really matter each day. This has greatly improved my time management and helped me work with greater focus while feeling more relaxed at the same time. Her approach to coaching was also particularly valuable to me: she wasn’t just strategic and clear, but also an incredibly motivating cheerleader. Melanie noticed and celebrated even the smallest steps of progress. That helped me take action, stay the course, and regain confidence in my own work rhythm. With her, I felt truly understood and supported, while at the same time receiving honest advice. I can wholeheartedly recommend Melanie’s services!

  • Together with Melanie, I was able to change my perspective during the last five coaching sessions. She helped me to see myself from a positive perspective again and to become aware of my strengths and abilities. At the beginning of the coaching sessions, my thought patterns were characterized by insecurity and thoughts such as “Am I good enough?” and “Can I really do this?”.
    I was not only insecure on the outside, but above all on the inside. With her empathetic and cheerful manner, Melanie made me feel immediately comfortable in the coaching sessions with her. Together, we questioned, uncovered, and dissolved old beliefs. I was able to conclude my last coaching session with the sentence, “I am at home within myself.”
    She helped me to regain inner stability, to trust myself, and to reflect that self-confidence outwardly. I wholeheartedly recommend working with her.

  • In autumn 2024 I came across some of Melanie’s posts & was immediately impressed by her warm manner. Sometimes all it takes is an honest laugh. After taking part in a webinar, I decided to embark on a journey with Melanie and take the plunge. She accompanied me with a lot of compassion & dedication. I learnt to better understand my needs, my emotions and ultimately myself. It’s not so bad if you don’t know how to do that. You can learn it. And it’s even really fun. Because there comes a point when the first successes become visible and you could burst with joy. Melanie authentically lives what she teaches. The communication outside of our sessions has also strengthened me & helped me to build trust. Her radiance & courage inspire me. I am grateful that Melanie shares her experiences and talents with us & gives us the opportunity to discover our superpower.

  • Melanie has helped me to be more aware of my boundaries and to consciously say ‘no’ when I need to. Thanks to her, I now listen more clearly to my thoughts and move forward courageously instead of slowing myself down.
    As a perfectionist, it was liberating to talk to Melanie about the constant pressure to judge myself. Now I say more often: I am proud of what I am and what I have achieved. Melanie has shown me that the answers are already within me and that I can trust my inner voice more.
    Her inspiration has also made me really want to do my morning journaling again. It helps me to organise my thoughts. I now also have little notes on my computer that remind me how valuable I am – as a mum, a person and a writer. Thank you, Melanie, for encouraging me to go my own way with confidence! 🙂

  • Although I have already dealt extensively with the topic of setting boundaries as a coach, Melanie’s course “Authentically You” gave me new and valuable insights.
    Especially for highly sensitive and empathetic people—like many of my clients—it is so important to say no lovingly and take your own needs seriously.
    With her warm, clear manner, Melanie created a space where genuine trust could develop. The combination of three live group coaching sessions, a personal one-on-one session, and the supporting materials and videos was perfectly balanced and inspiring.
    I am very happy that I was able to gain so much, not only for myself but also for my work as a coach. Thank you so much, Melanie!

  • Your way of working and speaking picked me up immediately. There was this immediate feeling: this is the right place for me.
    Before we started working together, I kept having thoughts and feelings that conflicted with each other. My mind said one thing, my intuition another. Now both are sitting at the same table.
    Wishes and goals that had been hidden for a long time also came up and I realised one of them straight away. I’m already looking forward to the month of sun, wind and sea!
    What helped me in particular? Your way of asking questions, your instinct for what to ask and how to ask it, really hit the spot for me.

  • I was very fortunate to have Melanie as a colleague for 18 months—and she enriched our team in a truly wonderful way. […]
    Melanie has a keen sense for people and processes. Especially when preparing and leading a workshop, she demonstrated how she combines strategic thinking, clear communication, and genuine enthusiasm. This was not only inspiring but also noticeably helped us grow as a team. Working as a coach is simply the perfect fit for her. She brings passion, clarity, and a genuine interest in people—along with the ability to inspire them to take action. I am very grateful to have had the opportunity to work with her and look forward to seeing where her journey takes her.

  • I am very grateful to have met Melanie! She does such important work in helping women to move away from ‘people pleasing’ and stand up for their needs and boundaries. The personal conversation with her reflected exactly what I was immediately inspired by in her contributions here: an incredible amount of empathy, paired with a twinkle in her eye and a huge portion of joy and positive energy that is immediately infectious. I can also highly recommend her People Pleasing Quiz!

The vibe was just right, so everything was very familiar, humorous and super pleasant! Absolute recommendation, but see for yourself and just book a call with her 😊

Frequently asked questions

My one-on-one sessions are specifically designed for people who identify as gifted or neurodiverse—with or without a formal diagnosis (giftedness, ADHD, high-functioning autism). I also frequently work with self-employed individuals, entrepreneurs, and executives who appear to be functioning well on the outside but are exhausted on the inside.

The sessions take place online via encrypted video call—so you can participate from the comfort of your home in Germany, Austria, Switzerland, or any other country within the EU. After our free introductory consultation, we’ll choose the right format for you:

  • Intensive one-on-one coaching (3 months of support, starting at €2,500: 6 x 60 minutes sessions including asynchronous daily coaching via chat/documents. Ideal for breaking old patterns, regulating emotions, and for those with ADHD and self-employed individuals (body doubling, routine-building, and daily backup support). Note: Also available as a 6-month package for 4,500 €. (package prices are excl. VAT for businesses with VAT-numbers)
  • Individual 50-minute sessions (1,150 DKK/approx. 155 €): Ideal for specific guidance, immediate assessments, classic therapeutic support as needed, or as a flexible check-in. (prices are excl. VAT for businesses with VAT-numbers)

No, absolutely not. Many of the people I work with recognize themselves in the descriptions but don’t have a formal diagnosis. That’s not an obstacle to our work together. In our one-on-one sessions, we work specifically with what you bring to the table and experience in your everyday life.

Feel free to contact me by email: me************@********il.com. I have a growing network and know many psychologists and places where you can find the right people to talk to, and I’d be happy to help you get in touch if I know someone who can assist you with your specific situation.

While studying psychology in Germany, I worked as a mentor with children and adolescents and also gained experience working with people on the autism spectrum. Over the years, my path increasingly led me into the field of giftedness—I taught undergraduate psychology students about intelligence assessment and served in an organizational capacity at Mensa e.V., the largest association for gifted individuals in Germany.

I’ve now been working with gifted individuals as a coach for several years and collaborate with the Gifted Institute in Denmark. Today, I work as a coach and psychologist both online and in person—with clients in my own practice, as well as with people in Copenhagen as part of a group practice (Village Therapy Copenhagen).

I studied psychology in Germany and earned a master’s degree from the Fernuniversität in Hagen. I completed my bachelor’s degree in psychology at HSD Döpfer in Cologne. Since I live and work in Copenhagen, I am subject to Danish law. In Denmark, the title “Psykolog” is protected by law and requires a university degree in psychology, which I hold. I am officially recognized in Denmark, a member of the Danish Psychological Association (Dansk Psykologisk Forening), and a member of the German professional network “Können-Macht-Spaß” (specializing in giftedness).

In my practice in Copenhagen, I offer a full range of psychotherapy services. Under Danish law, as an M.Sc. in Psychology, I am entitled and authorized to

a) call myself a (psycho)therapist, because this is not a protected term here, and

b) accordingly, to provide psychotherapy.

Important note for clients from Germany: Under German law, the title “psychotherapist” applies exclusively to individuals with a German psychotherapist license. For the sake of transparency, I therefore describe my online services for clients residing in Germany as evidence-based psychological counseling and support. I am subject to the GDPR and the Danish Patient Safety Authority (Styrelsen for Patientsikkerhed), keep records of our sessions, and attend regular supervision.

Yes, for the intensive one-on-one coaching over several months. The 50-minute sessions must be paid for in full. However, feel free to reach out to me—we’ll find a solution.

You don’t have to be athletic. To me, yoga means more than just exercise: it’s about the overall philosophy and mindset behind yoga—and that’s what this is all about. Mindset.

In addition to my academic and practical background, I’m a certified yoga teacher with additional training in “Yoga for Anxiety.” I firmly believe in the power of yoga and use its methods and mindful approach as a complementary part of my work. My goal is to continually deepen the integration of yoga-based therapeutic and mindfulness practices for my clients.

I’m always here for you—feel free to email me at me************@********il.com or book an introductory call, and we’ll have a relaxed chat 🙂
