Counselling Bench Berlin (Beratungsbank)
The Counselling Bench Berlin is a free, open conversation format in public space.
At regular intervals, I sit on a bench in Kreuzberg, visible and approachable, with no appointment needed. The bench is in the area between Kreuzberg and Neukölln.
People can sit down, stay for a few minutes or have a short conversation. It is a place for thoughts between healthy and exhausted, between everyday life and overwhelm.
The Counselling Bench is easy to access, calm and on an equal footing. German and English are both welcome.
A format that emerges when counselling becomes visible in public space.
Dates & rhythm
The Counselling Bench continues to take place in October 2026, depending on weather and capacity.
Dates are announced 24 hours in advance here and on Instagram.
Location
Kreuzberg, changing benches along the Landwehr Canal near Paul-Lincke-Ufer.
Who it’s for
For people who want to pause for a moment.
For those who swing between healthy and exhausted.
For anyone who wants to sort out a thought without booking an appointment first.
Walk & Talk
As an additional option, I offer Walk & Talk in Berlin-Neukölln, close to the Kreuzberg border. The combination of movement and nature often brings more lightness and inner calm than a conventional counselling room and can support the process in a special way.
Walk & Talk is a paid counselling format and part of my psychological counselling, in which we talk while walking. The pace is up to you. Many people find conversations in nature feel freer and less stressful than sitting down.
