Design Therapy
Design Therapy is an empathic conversation between a therapist or coach and her clients. In this conversation, the therapist asks relevant questions, listens empathically and allows for deeper self awareness through talking, thinking, feelings, mini experiences. One main goal is to find your agency, energy to play & labor, self love & care again - and a balance thereof.
Design Therapy is using systemic psychotherapy elements, evidence-proven couple therapy, narrative elements and focus on emotions as drivers. Yet also design methods like design thinking, design doing, experience design are a key element and the novel spin to outdated psychotherapy.
Design Therapy is an ice-breaker where some would cringe and hesitate to request help and instead opens the door wide and welcoming to couples and individuals that take things in their heart..

Testimonials
“I had never before taken a course like the “Design Your Life” series, but I am so pleased that I did! Julika and Kris crafted a very well designed experience in which I was thoroughly captured and came away from the sessions with a great deal of knowledge, useful skills and strategies for attaining goals within the various facets of my life. Julika’s strength as an instructor and facilitator is clearly rooted in her psychology background as well as her innate talent as a designer with the keen ability to empathize with her audience.”
“If you’re thinking about taking the next step, but have yet to understand the practical, emotional or social repercussions of what that next chapter will mean, these sessions are for you. We walked away with a framework for making structured decisions about our lives, allowing us to be playful about what our future could look like without being overly optimistic nor afraid. Sessions were a process in structured creativity, layering applied reasoning on top of abstract ideas without diminishing the element of fun. Julika is someone you would trust to help shape your future!”
“I met Julika in the midst of a difficult and life changing decision. She is a great listener and filtered my words in a way that it became more clear what aspects of the decision were important to me. She also provided me with handy decisions-making “tools” that will guide me to where I want to be in the more distant future.”
