My services are for people over 21 years old who have been diagnosed with autism (often in conjunction with ADHD) or ADHD and live in Hamburg. People who contact me need support that is both trustworthy and understanding. As a social worker who is also diagnosed with autism, I can be a partner on equal footing, committed to helping those affected find their way to a more fulfilling life. I offer individual counseling and support in areas such as dealing with authorities, therapeutic and medical care, finding solutions to everyday problems, housing issues, developing career prospects, choosing education and professions, and, if desired, support in establishing self-employment, among many others. I place great importance on a calm and safe atmosphere, free from overwhelm and sensory overload. My services are available to those receiving a "Personal Budget" from the Center for Participation (formerly the Integration Assistance Office) and to self-paying clients. My services can also be billed through the long-term care insurance program.
In an initial consultation, we will discuss together what a productive and trusting collaboration can look like. This will allow us to determine which type of support is best suited to your individual needs. Sometimes a few consultations are sufficient, sometimes short-term support, and sometimes long-term support. Please bring your diagnosis(es) to the appointment in printed form so that we can address your specific requirements directly.
I offer professionals in the social sector individual and practical advice on issues related to autism and ADHD in adulthood, not only in the field of qualified educational assistance or ASP support. Here you have the rare opportunity to ask questions of an autistic person who has worked in a wide variety of social fields for many years. You will gain insights from different perspectives, allowing you to expand your work with sound knowledge and open up new possibilities for your professional life.
