About Me
Sven Collip
I work with people facing crises, transitions and emotionally demanding life situations.
My focus is on systemic individual and couples therapy, Ericksonian hypnotherapy and psycho-oncology, supported by many years of experience in psychotraumatology.
What guides my work is not only professional training, but the experience of a complex personal and professional path. It has shaped a therapeutic stance grounded in clarity, honesty and a reliable therapeutic relationship.
Regular professional exchange with colleagues in psychotherapy and medicine is an integral part of my practice.
