Astrid Tiefholz, ACA

Astrid Tiefholz helps people facing stress, anxiety, eating concerns, parenting pressures, depression and major life changes. She is comfortable supporting carers and those juggling caregiving roles. Astrid speaks plainly and listens closely to what matters to each person. She uses practical steps that people can try between sessions to ease day-to-day strain.

Astrid draws on four years of documented counselling experience and an earlier clinical background. Her work blends Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy and client-centred listening. She aims to help people notice what matters to them, build steady routines, and try small changes that add up.

Sessions often look like gentle problem-solving and skills practice. Astrid supports people with eating and body image difficulties, fertility and fatherhood issues, caregiver stress, loneliness, and mood concerns. She also helps people navigating autism, Asperger syndrome and neurodiversity as it affects daily life and relationships.

Her approach is collaborative. She helps people set practical goals and tests strategies together in session. People can expect clear, down-to-earth guidance and space to talk through emotions without judgement.

To begin, clients follow a simple onboarding process through the site, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule a time that fits. Sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

Approaches that suit online therapy

Astrid uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify their values and take small steps toward what matters. ACT focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck, which is useful for anxiety, depression and life transitions.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, which breaks problems into thoughts, feelings and actions and tests practical changes. CBT helps with stress, mood difficulties and unhelpful eating patterns by teaching specific strategies to change behaviours and thinking habits.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Astrid will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences and choose methods together. That collaborative process helps tailor sessions to what fits best for the individual.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm which formats are offered before booking. Online work can make sessions easier to fit into busy days, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also suit people who prefer to meet from a familiar place or who need flexible scheduling. Appropriately qualified therapists help you decide how to use online sessions alongside any in-person care you may have.
