Testimonial
Matthias gave me my first professional IFS therapy session that opened me up to my parts for the first time in over four decades. His subtle approach gave me confidence, helped me understand the correlation between my past experiences and present challenges and enabled me with strategies to heal from them. Besides, Matthias is very understanding, supportive and highly resourceful. Since my first session, it’s been an upward turning point in my life, and I couldn’t be more thankful and blessed for the opportunity to work with him. I highly recommend Matthias and IFS therapy to anyone who feels stuck and desires immediate changes. Give it a go, and you’ll never look back. Pat Wusu, UK
As an IFS-informed therapist, I have found it incredibly useful to undertake my own IFS therapy with Matthias. IFS makes sense to me in theory, but my experience with Matthias really brought the theory to life and has enabled me to understand and use IFS at a deeper level. This is tremendously valuable not only for me personally, but also professionally, as it positively informs my clinical practice. As a therapist, Matthias is containing and compassionate. I have really liked his straightforward and confident approach, and as a busy NHS practitioner, his flexibility has been most welcome and enabling. Matthias has enabled me to understand my parts and has confidently facilitated unburdening exiled parts. I have felt fully seen and held, because he has been able to follow me into places that were previously unknown and invited fear. I have also loved the way he is able to be open and unafraid to show his obvious connection. Thank you Matthias for my wonderful IFS experience. Emma Pillinger, Clinical Psychologist, UK
The sessions were tough, emotional and heavy, as you are going through energies in your body that prevent you from going deep on the subject of your interest, energies you weren't even aware you had. You decide how further you want to deal with it and he always checks on you to know if you are doing well during the process. His always-on-spot senses will help you and guide you in the process. For as hard as each session was, the feeling I had afterwards made it all worth it. I started to regain the trust in myself and with every little change along the process, I was putting myself on the path I had decided I wanted to take. After that, I had the feeling I was coming back home again, I was starting to embody the change I was craving in the beginning. More importantly, I started to rediscover myself and to enjoy parts of myself that were always there, but remained somehow hidden. If you feel like you have been going around in circles for some time and you decide you need to turn your life around, you will be in good hands with Matthias. I never imagine what working with him could have achieved. One of the greatest experiences in my life and also one of the most necessary to make things happen in it. I couldn´t thank him enough.

Stuck in a meaningless job because you don’t know what you want? You know what you want, you’ve just convinced yourself that you can’t have it. Matthias introduced me to my authentic self, helped me to overcome my self-doubt, and uncovered useful secrets about me that would have lain buried forever. Lofty dreams that felt out of reach before meeting Matthias now seem facile and unambitious. Conflicts that were too difficult to face are now overcome with ease. If you want to connect with your body, learn about who you are, and take back control of your life from whomever has usurped it – Matthias is the coach to call. David Topps, Switzerland
Working with Matthias has helped me question my limiting beliefs, empathise and deepen my relationship with myself, and feel a greater sense of autonomy in my life. Jana Krige, Cape Town
“I have no parts that would not give you a glowing recommendation, our work together has been so important to me, and so illuminating. The process of working more with the felt senses has been eye-opening in terms of what it revealed at times. The body really does keep the score: it holds our secrets and the wisdom for greater integration and healing. Matthias, you have been a sturdy and supportive facilitator and partner in working with some of my more vulnerable and defended parts, and helping me to move towards greater integration, self-compassion, and acceptance. ” Amy, BACP Psychotherapist/ Counsellor, Edinburgh
Matthias graciously guided me, at my own pace, through my internal system towards a transformational perspective. Matthias’ way is direct and generously honest – a rare quality in many healing spaces where vulnerability reigns supreme. The effect was that I felt respected and utterly safe to bring anything to our sessions. I never felt my parts had to ‘perform’ or respond in any noticeable way. Never once did I feel Matthias needed me to validate his own efforts. There was a fundamental trust and an unwavering confidence in the process. I can now see that as I worked with Matthias, IFS was gently working me… rewriting, rewiring, re-orientating my system towards wholeness and compassion. I can honestly say that after a year of supervised travel through my inner landscape, I feel different. There is space. I am open. Thank you, Matthias – you have a gift!
