Culturally-Aware Counsellor & Anthropologist

Franziska holds a Master’s in Transcultural Counselling from the University of Malta and a Bachelor’s in Anthropology from the University of Mainz. Her academic background enriches her counselling with a strong grasp of culture, human behaviour, and how lived experiences shape mental health.

She is currently undergoing training in Psychosexual and Relationship Psychotherapy at the Institute of Psychosexual Psychotherapy in Nottingham, UK.

Psychosexual & Relationship Psychotherapy Service

Franziska works with individuals and people in relationships experiencing a range of psychosexual and relationship concerns, including intimacy, sexual difficulties, communication, desire, and relationship dynamics. This may include erectile difficulties, vaginismus, painful sex, difficulties with arousal or orgasm, premature or delayed ejaculation, differences in sexual desire, sexual anxiety, and concerns around compulsive sexual behaviours. She also provides a non-judgmental space to explore fetishes, kinks, sexual preferences, and other aspects of sexuality.

Bilingual CBT- and ACT-Informed Therapist

Franziska joined the Willingness Team in May 2021 and has since supported English- and German-speaking individuals and couples. As she expands her practice into psychosexual and relationship psychotherapy, she welcomes people in a range of relationship constellations, including those whose relationships fall outside traditional couple structures. She provides inclusive, affirmative, evidence-based care, empowering clients with personalised, empathetic, research-informed support.
