My name is Tayama Ramos da Silva Nielsen. I was born in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, and spent part of my teenage years in the United States. As a young adult, I had the opportunity to travel around the world, which ultimately brought me to Germany, where I have lived since 2000. I’m married and a proud mother of two wonderful girls.

 

With a background in the arts, I transitioned into the role of a non medical psychotherapist, dedicated to guiding individuals through life crises toward a more authentic and fulfilling existence. My individual therapy sessions are based on Carl Rogers' person-centered approach and integrate mindfulness-based cognitive therapy with creative arts. My goal is to provide a supportive environment where clients can explore their inner world, gain a deeper understanding of themselves and their challenges, and move toward a fuller and more authentic version of themselves.

 

As a group facilitator, I take an interactive and flexible approach, balancing core objectives with the uniqueness of each participant.
