Ronja Altmann

We’re often led to believe that we’re lucky to live in today’s world, with all its modern comforts and opportunities, and that we should therefore not only be grateful but also feel happy and fulfilled. In reality, modern life can still be hard and overwhelming and comes with its very own challenges. Therapy can help when life becomes hard to deal with.

I offer a confidential non-judgmental space in which we work together to explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences, helping you gain more clarity and agency in your life.

My training is integrative, which means I draw on a wide range of modalities (incl. humanistic, psychodynamic, cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), and solution focused brief therapy), tailoring our sessions to meet you where you are and in the way you need.

I work face-to-face in Camden or online and offer both long and short-term therapy.

Long-Term or Short-Term Therapy

A longer-term commitment can be beneficial if you are seeking out therapy for long-standing topics like identity, sexuality, traumatic experiences, or perhaps a lack of fulfilment in life.

The open-ended format gives us a lot of room to explore how your past has shaped your present, supporting a deeper exploration of patterns and underlying issues that may be contributing to difficulties in your life. That said, if you prefer a shorter approach at this time, short-term therapy can still offer significant benefits.

Short-term therapy, also known as time-limited therapy, is a very good option if you would like to address specific issues within a limited number of sessions, typically between 6 and 20.

Shorter-term work is more focused and goal-oriented. This means we can work in a more targeted fashion, concentrating on the things that feel the most pressing to you, and working to help you feel better in a shorter amount of time. It can also feel more suitable if you are dealing with urgent issues or if you cannot or do not want to commit to extended therapy, but still need support for a specific concern.

Shorter-term therapy can also be a good way of experiencing therapy’s benefits and see if longer-term therapy feels worthwhile and appealing.

Areas I work with

Issues that I have worked with extensively include but are not limited to:

• Anxiety
• Depression
• Stress and burn-out
• Low confidence and self-doubt
• Grief
• Pregnancy related issues
• Trauma
• Abuse
• Existential issues of life and death

I am especially passionate about working with clients facing burnout or work-related stress, as well as existential crises. These issues hold personal significance to me and are generally intensified by today’s fast-paced and complex world.

Please feel welcome, whatever topic you may bring to therapy.
