After years of working in individual, couples and family therapy, I wanted to explore a new professional field and trained as a systemic supervisor at a renowned Berlin institute. Giggling, I found myself thinking: teams are not all that different from families — you don’t choose the others, yet you depend on them. And on top of all the emotions that arise, you’re still expected to work professionally. No wonder things sometimes go wrong.
Power and hierarchy have a significant impact on individuals and teams: when roles are unclear or not accepted, entire projects can be thrown off course. I find this topic fascinating and have explored power structures in depth. That’s why I pay close attention to the related issues of fairness (and what that means to you and your team) and respect and remain highly attuned to potential mechanisms of discrimination — including those that are subtle or unintended.
As a supervisor, I work with teams and individuals to examine concrete situations from their everyday working lives, their collaboration and roles, and what happens emotionally between the lines. The aim is not to offer quick solutions, but to ask the right questions and open up new perspectives. I’m satisfied when we get you and your team out of a deadlock so that everyone can once again find enjoyment and success in work.
