Julianna Markus

Julianna Markus is a psychologist and mindfulness-based therapist based in Trier, Germany. She describes herself as a psychologist, system-health expert and nutritional scientist, combining psychological therapy, mindfulness-based approaches, nutritional/physical-health recovery and psychedelic-informed integration work. Her approach is holistic: she integrates cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), mindfulness-based stress management, trauma-informed care, internal family systems / schema-informed work, psychoeducation and nutritional guidance depending on the client’s needs. She often works in a structured, goal-oriented way — including diagnostic/self-assessment, jointly setting goals (often with a 10-session plan), mutual accountability, homework between sessions, and flexibility for individual or group therapy settings.

Service

Julianna offers individual therapy sessions (online and in-person), group sessions, and a free 20-minute introductory call for new clients. Her specialities include burnout, addictions, eating disorders, relationship issues, midlife and life-transitions, issues affecting LGBTQ+ clients, and multicultural/expat transitions — including relational difficulties, identity questions, and stress related to change. In addition to standard therapy, she offers psychedelic integration therapy — helping clients integrate insights from psychedelic or altered-state experiences into everyday life — as well as mindfulness-based therapy, nutritional/physical-health support, existential or trauma-informed counselling, and coaching around life management, boundaries, self-management and relationships.

Safety

Julianna works through a regulated therapy-matching platform; she offers transparency about her training, credentials, and therapeutic methods. She assesses each client’s needs and history, applies trauma-informed and evidence-based practices, and recommends therapy modalities suited to the individual rather than a one-size-fits-all model. Sessions are offered in multiple languages (English, German, Hungarian, French), which may support cultural sensitivity especially for multicultural or expat clients. She provides a free introductory call so that potential clients can assess fit and ensure comfort with her style before committing to therapy.

Care pathway

A prospective client can begin by booking the free 20-minute introductory call (online or in person) to discuss their situation, goals, and whether her therapy approach might suit them. Following that, if both client and therapist agree, they may proceed to full individual sessions or join group therapy. Therapy typically follows a structured plan: after initial assessment, client and therapist set mutually agreed goals (often using SMART criteria over a 10-session plan), with homework and self-assessment tools between sessions. Sessions may include CBT, mindfulness work, trauma-informed therapy, nutritional guidance or psychedelic-experience integration depending on client need. Clients can also join longer-term group therapy or community-based holistic-health support through her offerings.
