Service

Yosef Starkin provides individual psychotherapy and counselling sessions in person in Berlin and online. The practice integrates clinical psychology with body‑awareness methods, trauma‑informed work, and relational inquiry to address issues including emotional dysregulation, stress, relational patterns, identity questions, self‑criticism, and deeper psychological work. Yosef Starkin also supports clients interested in exploring and integrating non‑ordinary or expanded‑state experiences, where appropriate, using preparation and integration practices that attend both to psychological insight and somatic awareness.

Safety

Yosef Starkin is a clinical psychologist trained in evidence‑informed modalities and trauma‑aware, somatic approaches. Sessions are conducted in a confidential, supportive therapeutic environment that prioritises emotional safety, grounding and pacing according to each client’s readiness and context. The approach emphasises collaboration, consent and navigation of emotional or bodily responses in a careful, attuned manner.

Care pathway

Clients begin by contacting Yosef Starkin to discuss their concerns and goals. Following initial contact, an intake or introductory session is scheduled to clarify needs and determine a suitable therapeutic approach. Regular sessions are then planned — either online or in person — with the pace and modalities adapted over time to support the client’s ongoing process. Preparation and integration work for expanded‑state experiences may be included in the therapeutic plan if relevant to the client.
