Nasim Kowalewski



In my Munich-based practice and online sessions, I provide a compassionate, non-judgmental space to hold whatever challenges you are facing. Together, we take a structured, mindful approach to reduce your stress and suffering so you can reconnect with clarity, resilience, and joy.


Having lived and grown up across cultures between Germany and Iran, I deeply understand the realities of living abroad, cultural transition, and the unique hurdles of expat life. Here, you have the certainty of being fully seen, heard, and welcomed exactly as you are.


To offer you meaningful guidance, I integrate modern psychotherapeutic methods with practical life experience. With my professional background in architecture and project management, I understand the heavy demands, rapid pace, and pressure of high-performance careers. I use this understanding to help you manage emotional overwhelm, unlock your core strengths, and build a balanced, resilient life.

Schematherapy

Schema Therapy is designed to help you break free from deeply rooted, repetitive patterns. When stress or conflict arises, early conditioning can trigger an automatic response that leaves you drained. Together, we identify these underlying schemas, explore their roots, and develop healthier ways to meet your emotional needs—giving you clarity, confidence, and genuine emotional freedom.

  • Recurring interpersonal conflicts (both professional and personal)
  • Strong perfectionism and high levels of self-criticism
  • Persistent stress and the feeling of constantly having to function
  • Deep-seated self-doubt and low self-esteem
  • Difficulty sensing and setting personal boundaries

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

ACT is a modern, highly practical therapeutic approach. In my practice, I support you in finding a new way to relate to difficult thoughts and emotions. Instead of exhausting yourself by fighting against these inner hurdles, we practice accepting them as they are (Acceptance). At the same time, we clarify what truly matters to you in life and align your daily actions with these personal values (Commitment). In this way, you build emotional resilience to lead a fulfilling, meaningful life—even during challenging or turbulent times.

  • Persistent stress and exhaustion
  • Coping with anxiety, worries, and panic
  • Overthinking and racing thoughts
  • Depressive episodes / Low mood
  • Life crises and challenging transitions
  • Entrenched behavioral patterns and emotional blocks

EMDR

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is an evidence-based therapeutic method. It was specifically developed to process traumatic experiences and alleviate the symptoms that arise from them. In our sessions, I guide you through a clearly structured process designed to sustainably reprocess distressing memories and core beliefs.

  • Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
  • Attachment trauma
  • Anxiety disorders and phobias
  • Complicated grief
  • Behavioral changes

Systemic Therapy

Systemic Therapy does not view individuals in isolation, but always within the context of their environment—their personal and professional "system." Often, emotional strain and conflict do not originate entirely within us, but arise from the structures we navigate and how we interact with others. Together, we explore the unconscious dynamics, expectations, and communication patterns present in your daily life. The focus remains on your existing strengths and on uncovering practical solutions. We develop fresh perspectives to untangle stuck dynamics and restore your sense of agency in both personal and professional relationships.

  • Challenges and conflicts in the professional workplace
  • Overwhelm caused by unclear roles or lack of boundaries
  • Difficult decision-making processes and major transitions
  • Relationship issues and family conflicts
  • Desire for professional or personal reorientation
