Barbara Engels is credentialed in the United Kingdom and brings 16 years of professional experience to her work with individuals, couples and parents. She has provided therapy through The Relate Counselling Service and an autism-specialist charity, developing particular expertise in supporting clients affected by stress and anxiety at work, intimacy and relationship difficulties, bereavement, family conflicts, and challenges with self-esteem and motivation.
Her practice includes extensive autism-specialist counselling for couples and parents, and she adapts conversations and treatment plans to meet each person’s unique needs. Barbara works with sensitivity, respect and compassion, and she offers sessions in the client’s preferred language, conducting therapy in either English or German.
She recognises the courage it takes to seek a more fulfilling and happier life, and she aims to support and empower people as they take those first steps toward change.
Many people ask whether remote counselling can truly help. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges and navigating life changes, online therapy has been shown to be comparable in effectiveness to traditional in-person sessions.
Flexibility is a key benefit - clients can choose the format that fits their life best, whether that is video calls, phone sessions, live chat or in-app messaging. This adaptability makes it easier to maintain continuity of care and to fit appointments around work, family and other commitments.
Therapy offered online is provided by licensed professionals, and if someone decides they would prefer a different therapist they are free to switch at any time to find a better fit.
