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 art, I have transitioned into a non-medical psychotherapist role, dedicated to guiding individuals through life crises toward a more authentic and fulfilling existence. Utilizing the principles of Psychosynthesis of Roberto Assagioli, my individual therapy sessions incorporate elements of Jungian psychology, mindfulness-based cognitive therapy, and creative arts to foster a holistic therapy process. My goal is to cultivate a space that encourages both mindfulness and curiosity, allowing clients to explore their inner selves while feeling supported in their journey.

 

 As a group facilitator, I adopt an interactive and flexible approach, balancing the delivery of core objectives with the responsiveness to participants’ needs.
