Praise for my work.
“Self-knowledge clears the path for healing.”
– Moshé Feldenkrais
“Whilst I cannot always drop in on a regular schedule- due to varying life and health circumstances - I very much appreciate knowing that i can always reach out to you if i have any sticky mess I struggle to untangle, or even specific questions regarding my relationships or nervous system regulation and being met with openness and grace and understanding- and the possibility to work from where I am right then, without judgement. I value this immensely.
The step of allowing myself, or rather explicitly giving myself permission to be who I experience myself to be, is something I started learning with your support, and it served as a new vessel for my relationship with myself and others. I also learned to notice and work with my nervous system more, rather than seeing it as a flaw, which, as a neurodivergent and queer person, really helps to navigate the world.
I’m truly grateful for that, I really mean it. ”
“My punchy one-liner I tell friends about how you’ve helped me is: “Silke gave me the ick for narcissists.” That might not be the most professional-website-friendly, so something more along the lines of “After working with Silke I’m no longer attracted to narcissists” might be better :)”
“I’ve worked with Silke both as a couple and as an individual, and she helped us navigate one of the most challenging periods in our relationship with real clarity and care.
What distinguishes her approach is that she doesn’t hold back — her feedback is honest, grounded, and genuinely useful in a way that moves things forward rather than simply reflecting them back at you. She has a gift for helping untangle both present challenges and older, deeper patterns, with an empathy and energy I deeply admire.
Her somatic approach resonates with me in particular. The grounding breath that opens each session creates an immediate shift in presence. The tools I’ve developed through our work together are ones I continue to use in my daily life.
I recommend Silke with full confidence — she is the kind of therapist who helps you not just understand yourself better, but actually change.”
“I had both individual and couples sessions with Silke over a number of years. I always found Silke to be a calm, non-judgmental, authentic, and competent therapist.
She brings a rare skill mix of listening with empathy and of challenging problematic beliefs and behaviours, doing so in a pointed but respectful way. That can be especially difficult for a couple in crisis who are hurting and defensive. I always had the feeling Silke cares and is interested in helping me/us progress.
One specific thing I took away from the sessions was the realisation that I was in the relationship with one foot out of the door - a permanent “if you do one more thing I’m not okay with, I’m gone”. That isn’t a good or sustainable way to conduct a relationship. I was able to let go of certain expectations about how things “should” be, accept reality and human imperfections, and consequently feel much more content. My partner felt much safer after that and, concurrently, learned to stop putting expectations I couldn’t meet on myself, which removed pressure. Our relationship recovered because of these interventions.
Silke gave us tangible methods and tools to work with and a neutral, safe space to communicate when our communication had broken down. She helped us through some incredibly difficult phases, called us out when appropriate, and encouraged us to do the things we needed to grow, learn, and recover.
I’m very grateful to her, and have recommended Silke to so many others at this point, I’ve lost count.”
