nice that you are here!

As a certified systemic counselor and alternative practitioner for psychotherapy, I combine curiosity, clarity, courage and mindfulness in my sessions. I support you in recognizing your own blockages, seizing new opportunities and finding your way, step by step, to a self-determined and fulfilling life.

Strategy, clarity and a solution-focused mindset

In my work in communications and consulting, I learned how to deal with complexity – and to translate it into clear, structured solutions. I enjoy analysing situations in depth and breaking them down into manageable parts without losing sight of the bigger picture.

These skills shape my coaching approach: I support you in gaining clarity, developing practical solutions and finding a clear path forward – even when things feel tangled or overwhelming.

Mindfulness, body awareness and curiosity

Through exploring my own inner world, I realized that not everything can be understood with the mind alone. Purely relying on cognition can sometimes lead to a dead end. Many things happen at a deeper level – shaped by unconscious beliefs and emotions that hold us back in everyday life and relationships.

In Hakomi, I learned how to gently uncover these blockages. Most of all, I discovered how powerful it is to stay connected to your body and emotions – and how this mindful awareness opens up new, more compassionate ways of relating to yourself and others.

The courage to see mistakes as opportunities and to build self-confidence

Over the years, I’ve found these insights in sport climbing: the moment I step into the unknown with courage, listen to my body, think ahead – and suddenly, I’m in the flow.

Climbing is not just about technique. It’s also about trusting yourself – and being willing to see mistakes as part of the process.

 

And after a fall – having the courage to try again.

What my clients say about me

"Although I have already gained experience with various therapy methods, I can say that Laura Mankel is the first therapist who has sharpened my awareness of my physical perception. With Laura, the body speaks first and then the mind. It is wonderful to notice that the feeling is always right and that with Hakomi you can suddenly feel the origin, the childlike, primal trust again."

Marlene, 40
