Daniel Holbach

Daniel Holbach is a Heilpraktiker für Psychotherapie operating a practice for body psychotherapy in Berlin-Friedrichshain since 2019. The business offers trauma-informed individual therapy in both English and German, focusing on body-oriented approaches like Somatic Experiencing® and parts work. It serves individuals at a turning point or in crisis who want to feel more connected, develop self-esteem, or resolve relationship conflicts.

Clients can start by scheduling a free 20-minute preliminary call to assess compatibility. The practice is located at Lenbachstraße 16, 10245 Berlin-Friedrichshain, on the ground floor of a shared practice near Ostkreuz station. To book, visitors can find an open time on the live calendar via the external partner It's Complicated or send an email to mail@bodypsychotherapy.berlin.

Sessions are paid privately as the practice operates outside statutory health insurance (GKV). Clients receive one invoice per month covering that month's sessions, which they settle via bank transfer. There is no cash payment accepted, and supplementary insurance may sometimes cover part of the Heilpraktiker services depending on the insurer.

The practice operates on Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays at its Friedrichshain location. Online sessions are also possible, though the website notes that body psychotherapy and Somatic Experiencing® unfold more fully in person due to the depth of the room and physical presence.

A typical session involves talking and following the body's story, which can happen sitting down with eyes open or closed. The therapist may also stand up for small experiments involving grounding or movement, and explore shifts in the body when trying on different options like 'stay' or 'leave'.

The approach uses the body as a bridge to experience, impulse, expression, and learning new capacities. Specific methods mentioned include Somatic Experiencing®, parts work (Ego State Therapy), working with breath, grounding, posture, and sensation.

The practice is designed for people who feel stuck, exhausted, or burdened despite recognizing patterns in their relationships. It targets those dealing with anxiety, contact problems, interpersonal conflicts, break-ups, or anger who wish to feel more alive and rediscover themselves.

The website states that touch is not a major focus in the work these days. It only happens if the client wants it to, serving as a supportive element when appropriate.

Some reviewers praise the quiet, safe room where clients are allowed to simply arrive and the therapist's genuine interest in the work. Others mention the effectiveness of the free introductory call in determining if the therapist is a good fit.

The practice differentiates itself by combining body-oriented techniques with trauma-informed care, emphasizing that change comes through new experiences in the body and moment rather than just understanding. It also offers both in-person and online sessions to accommodate different needs.

The business has been operating since 2019, establishing a presence in Friedrichshain. It is a small practice run by Daniel Holbach, who has a background as a software engineer and completed his Heilpraktiker für Psychotherapie training in 2017.

Clients can contact the practice via the business email mail@bodypsychotherapy.berlin or the phone number +49 178 5648276. The website also provides a live calendar link for booking appointments directly.

Daniel Holbach is located at Lenbachstraße 16, Berlin, 10245, DE.
