​Yvonne Catherine Richter

Yvonne is dedicated to foster a safe and supportive environment where individuals feel empowered to explore their feelings, gain new perspectives, and rediscover hope. With her calm demeanour and natural empathy, she combines evidence-based approaches, including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, Hypnotherapy, and interventions from Positive Psychology, to guide clients toward healing and building fulfilling lives.
 

After over a decade in the corporate world and as an international athlete representing Germany in Taekwondo, Yvonne made a meaningful career transition to psychotherapy. Her deep curiosity about human behaviour, mental health, and helping others led her to pursue this path, where she now draws on her diverse experiences to enrich her practice. She understands the challenges of expatriate life, career transitions, and the complexities of building a family abroad, enabling her to provide tailored support to clients navigating similar experiences.

​

Yvonne emphasizes the importance of individualized care, meeting clients where they are, whether addressing anxiety, trauma, depression, or fostering overall mental well-being. Her empathetic and collaborative approach resonates with clients from diverse backgrounds, helping them heal and work toward their personal goals in a supportive and non-judgmental environment.

 

Outside her professional practice, Yvonne volunteers with New Life Stories, a non-profit organization dedicated to supporting children of incarcerated parents. She herself is a mother to two young children, who are her greatest joy and inspiration. Yvonne cherishes moments of laughter, deep conversations about art, crime novels, and poetry, and remains enthusiastic about her long-time passion for Taekwondo.

​

Yvonne holds a Diploma and Professional Diploma in Psychotherapy and is currently completing her practicum placement at Holding Ground (Psychology Practice), as part of her Postgraduate Psychotherapy program requirements.

 

Yvonne is available on Wednesday mornings and afternoons for both in person and online sessions and can provide therapy in English and German.
