About me
I am Jonas Zieger, a licensed General Health Psychologist and psychotherapist.
What I value most about my profession is being able to support people during times when something in their lives no longer works as it once did. I believe in psychotherapy based on empathy, trust and respect, where each person can gain a deeper understanding of themselves and discover new ways of facing life’s challenges.
I am interested in understanding what lies beneath emotional distress, beyond the symptoms that bring someone to therapy.
My approach
I see psychotherapy as a collaborative process. While relieving symptoms is important, I believe it is equally essential to understand the underlying causes of distress, as this is what allows meaningful and lasting change to take place.
Every person comes with a unique life story. For this reason, I do not work with fixed methods or standard solutions. Instead, I adapt the therapeutic process to each person’s needs, goals and individual pace.
My approach is primarily humanistic and integrative, with a holistic understanding of the person. This means seeing emotional difficulties within the broader context of each person’s life: their personal history, relationships, emotions and the environment in which they live.
