Conscious Parenting is a transformative approach developed by Dr. Shefali that invites parents to look inward rather than trying to control their children’s behavior. It focuses on connection over correction, presence over perfection, and healing your own patterns to show up more authentically with your child.
Oprah has endorsed Dr. Shefali Tsabary’s work as revolutionary and life-changing.

Not at all. While I support many parents, I also work with individuals facing life challenges, emotional blocks, or recurring patterns they want to break. If you're feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected from yourself, this work can help.

Each session is a calm, confidential space where we explore what’s really going on beneath the surface. Whether you’re struggling as a parent or navigating a personal challenge, we’ll work together with compassion, clarity, and tools from Conscious Parenting, integrative coaching, psychotherapy, and EMDR.

While I draw on integrative psychotherapy and EMDR techniques, coaching offers a more flexible and collaborative approach. It focuses on awareness, healing, and conscious action. My work is trauma-aware and rooted in both psychological understanding and deep presence.

Yes — but not through quick fixes or reward charts. We look deeper at what's beneath the behaviour and what the moment is asking from you as a parent. I’ll help you shift from reaction to reflection, so you can respond with clarity and connection.

Yes, I offer online sessions, so you can join from anywhere in the world.
In-person options may be available depending in Berlin.

Absolutely. I work with individual parents as well as couples or co-parents who want to align in their parenting approach and deepen their mutual understanding.

You can book a free 30-minute discovery call through the contact section of this website. It’s a chance to see if we’re a good fit and ask any questions you may have — no pressure or commitment.

I work in both English and German.

Yes. I’ve facilitated workshops in international schools and community settings. If you’d like to bring Conscious Parenting to your school, parent group, or organization, feel free to reach out for details.

This is a common question. While I understand the desire to “solve” a child’s behavior directly, the Conscious Parenting approach focuses on the parent — because that’s where the true transformation begins.

Children reflect our emotional state. Their behaviors are often expressions of unmet needs, overwhelm, or mirrored patterns from us.

Rather than trying to control or correct the child, I help parents develop the awareness, emotional presence, and tools to shift the dynamic from within.

When the parent transforms, the child feels safer, more seen, and more connected — and behavior often changes naturally as a result.

So, while I don’t coach the child directly, everything we do together deeply affects your relationship with your child — and supports their emotional development in powerful, lasting ways.

What is EMDR?

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a well-researched approach to trauma therapy.

It helps your brain process experiences that still feel overwhelming — even long after they’ve happened.

Sometimes, difficult experiences don’t fully process and remain “stuck.”
EMDR helps your system gently move through them.

How does EMDR work?

In a session, we briefly focus on a difficult memory while using guided eye movements or gentle tapping.

This supports your brain’s natural processing system with bilateral stimulation.

As this happens, the memory begins to shift.
You still remember it — but it feels less intense.

Why is EMDR effective?

EMDR is especially effective for trauma, including Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and complex trauma, because it works directly with how experiences are stored.

It can help you:

• feel less overwhelmed by past experiences

• reduce emotional intensity and triggers

• shift limiting beliefs

• feel more calm and grounded

Change happens as your brain processes what was previously stuck.

EMDR may support you if past experiences still affect how you feel, react, or relate.

We move at a pace that feels safe and manageable for you.

A gentle reminder

You don’t have to stay stuck in what happened.
Your brain already has the ability to heal — EMDR helps unlock it.

What is EFIT?

EFIT (Emotion-Focused Individual Therapy) helps you understand and work with your emotions in a deeper way.

It was developed by Dr. Sue Johnson and is based on a simple idea:
Your emotions are not the problem — they are a guide.

EFIT helps you make sense of what you feel, instead of pushing it away.

How does EFIT work?

We slow things down and look at what’s happening beneath the surface.

Together, we explore emotional patterns — especially in moments where you feel stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected.

As things become clearer, your reactions begin to shift.
New ways of responding start to feel possible.

Why is EFIT effective?

EFIT works directly with your emotional system — where many patterns begin.

It can help you:

• feel less overwhelmed by your emotions

• understand yourself more clearly

• shift repeating patterns

• feel more grounded and connected

Change happens by working with your emotions, not against them.

A gentle perspective

Your emotions are not something to fix.
They are something to understand.

When you begin to listen to them in a new way, change often follows.
