Praxis Gunther

I can recommend Claire Gunther as a very competent therapist, both professionally and personally. I feel comfortable and safe with her and in the dance therapy group. With the help of the group, you can reflect on your issues in a safe space. After 1.5 years of dance therapy, I can see progress and feel stronger. Thank you Claire!

I take part in dance therapy with Ms. Gunther and have one-to-one sessions at the same time. Dance therapy awakens many feelings that you would otherwise not be aware of. Ms. Gunther conducts both the dance therapy and the individual sessions in a very trusting manner, with a lot of experience and gives me a very good feeling. Thank you very much!

I feel that I am in very good hands and that everyone's individual concerns are taken into consideration.
I am very happy that I can use Mrs. Gunther's services!

Words have limits, words come from the (thinking) mind. After many years of therapy, everything was said and understood, but my heart and my system were still in a bad way, or rather they were still trapped.

Translating understood words into new actions, transforming them via the body, the heart, the system, in order to become whole and whole again. Trying out new things, making the inner self speak, giving it space, creating new perspectives. That is dance therapy for me.

Dear Ms. Gunther, the path is intense, difficult and exhausting. Thank you for walking it with me, enduring it and helping to shape it, giving it a framework. I benefit from your attentiveness, sensitivity, variety of methods/materials, experience, dedicated work and humanity.

Thank you

She treats her patients with empathy and competence.
You feel understood and supported.
She uses her experience in a goal-oriented manner to describe possibilities.

You immediately feel that you are in good hands, taken seriously and perceived holistically. The collaboration is appreciative and fun. I've been seeing Ms. Gunther every two weeks for several years now and it's good for me. Sometimes it's "just" about not letting the stress at work get so close to me, sometimes other life issues pop up, which are then heard and expressed. Mrs. Gunther always gives me new impulses to deal with myself and my environment. I am very grateful to her for that.

I got to know Claire Gunther a few years ago during my stay at the day clinic in dance and body therapy. I benefited greatly from her therapeutic experience there. Three years after my stay in the clinic, I was feeling worse again. I went to see Claire Gunther and have taken advantage of various services over the years, such as dance and body therapy, QiGong and individual sessions. With the help of Ms. Gunther, I feel much better again. I now go through my everyday life much stronger. She is a very emphatic therapist who is always on hand with help and advice. She always responds to the
moods of the participants and designs her work accordingly. You can tell that she enjoys her work because she is always very committed. I can recommend Claire Gunther 100%!

I am impressed by how Ms. Gunther manages to respond to each individual in the group sessions.

Fast and professional help in crises. Very emphatic. A big thank you!

The body, dance and talk therapy support is very helpful for me. With her many years of practical experience and extensive knowledge, Claire Gunther has a large methodological repertoire to support you. She also has a lot of empathy, patience and perseverance to listen with her very appreciative personality. The empathic conversation in combination with body experience has a holistic healing effect, triggers processes and helps me to find new solutions. For me, feelings can be experienced, allowed and processed on different levels. The setting in the group is trusting. I feel accepted and I always go back to my everyday life with a very good feeling and inner strength. I am very grateful to have this group.

Dear Claire,
I am happy and grateful that I got to know your work in the dance therapy group. Your empathetic and understanding manner encourages me to take a closer look at my shadow issues and to accept them more and more. I also feel that I am in good hands in the group and the Elfeshof has become a feel-good place for me where people can meet on a deeper level.

I am very happy to have found her practice! She hits the nail on the head, whether in conversation or in dance therapy. I can only recommend Ms. Gunther to others!

I can recommend dance therapy with Ms. Gunther with a clear conscience and almost with enthusiasm (if that is possible in therapy).
Through the interactive work in dance therapy, I was able to learn things about myself for which I am very grateful. In general, I experienced dance therapy as a safe space in which it was possible to discuss very personal issues and try out new strategies for action.

I have been attending dance therapy with Claire Gunther for three quarters of a year and I am very grateful that this great offer exists.
During a detailed preliminary discussion, it was carefully worked out in which offer and in which group I would be in the best possible hands and this has now been confirmed over time. I benefit greatly from the fact that I am free to participate according to my daily capacities and needs and that I don't have to do anything. These needs and how I feel are also discussed each time in an initial meeting and here, too, I only have to show myself to the extent that is appropriate for me. It's soothing to have a space here where I can be with my burdens, weaknesses and strengths and be seen as such.
The movement sessions help me to get in touch with my body every time, they are often an invitation to be playful and try out new things without any pressure. We also practise showing ourselves, noticing and communicating our bodies, our reactions and emotions. Exercises that help me to perceive my space and my limits are particularly helpful.
Sometimes there are also small constellations for challenges faced by individual participants, which also involve postures and sensing and often trigger helpful experiences in the other participants.
And sometimes there are relaxing, meditative sessions at the end of the class.
I always feel good afterwards.
I always find Claire Gunther to be approachable, attentive, motivating, sometimes a little provocative but always sensitive. I admire her keen sense for the needs of the individual and the group and her expertise with regard to the various psychological stresses that the participants bring with them.

Claire Gunther has a great deal of understanding for her patients working in trauma therapy. She is a good motivator and makes you feel that you are worth loving yourself too. I have been in dance therapy with her for years and have felt very comfortable. I also received a lot of support from her during the crisis. I am very happy with her work and the way she treats me. She is good at incorporating circle dances and everyday situations into the therapy group.
I can only recommend her and hope that she will continue to support me for a long time to come.

Claire was recommended to me by a mutual French friend after I expressed my concern about slipping into a burn-out spiral. Not only was I allowed to have a quick appointment, but I was also able to express myself in my mother tongue.
The burn-out spiral is now broken and I am slowly finding my way back to my former energy, thanks to Claire's creative and personalized approach, which also encourages me to make important decisions and guide me through the necessary steps.
Merci beaucoup Claire pour ce soutien précieux ; pouvoir s'exprimer en français sur des sujets aussi sensibles et profonds est un avantage considérable !

Ms. Gunther is not only experienced, but also extremely empathetic. With her versatility in suggesting solutions and her ability to recognize different problems, she contributes significantly to my personal development. The impressive transformational effect of her work deserves special recognition, I am so happy to recommend Ms. Gunther because she offers qualified, high-quality service that I was able to get to know personally.

I have been facing extraordinary challenges for 2 years now and have met several helpful people.
But no one has brought me to self-awareness, self-determination and action from within myself as professionally and using different techniques as Claire Gunther.
She gave me clarity, she helped me to release entanglements, peacefully and full of respect for all others, but above all for myself.
I have gone my way step by step, full of confidence with her support.
Full of gratitude for her great work, for her empathy and for her wisdom, I wish everyone an encounter with this special therapist in order to understand themselves better, to resolve conflicts and possibly to take other paths. Thank you, dear Claire.

Since I wasn't there too often now, I can only judge with difficulty what else is done there. I especially liked the exercises where you could find out more about yourself. Differentiation, developing basic trust, creating a sense of community, closeness/distance exercises, developing a sense of connection and trust in others.
