About Me

Sven Collip
I support people through crises, transitions and periods of personal growth. My work focuses on systemic individual and couples therapy, hypnotherapy according to Milton Erickson, and psycho-oncology. I also have many years of experience in psychotraumatology and in working with the Feldenkrais Method.
My approach is shaped not only by professional expertise, but by the experience of my own non-linear path – guided by a search for depth, authenticity, and a form of contact that truly sustains. My work is enriched by close professional exchange with colleagues in psychotherapy and medicine to ensure responsible and well-coordinated support.
