Find your ground again.
Move forward with clarity.
When life becomes too challenging, the first thing we need is solid ground.
I support you with psychological coaching, hypnosis and nervous system regulation.
In English or German – back to stability, confidence and lightness.
In person in Regensburg or online
For internationals and locals alike – support in fluent English for people going through a difficult phase.
My work is right for you if...
You feel overwhelmed, experience inner restlessness and anxiety, or you are in a crisis that pulls the ground from under your feet.
You carry emotional burdens with you and do not understand why they still affect you so strongly.
You live far from home, in a new language and culture, and the usual support network is missing.
You do not need a break from yourself. You need ground.
What is on your mind right now?
Choose what feels closest to your current situation. You do not have to explain everything before you are ready.
This offer does not replace medical, psychotherapeutic or psychiatric treatment. If you feel acutely at risk or need immediate help, please call the emergency number 112 or contact a local crisis service.
A possible next step
You do not have to figure everything out alone. A first conversation can offer space to slow down, organise your thoughts, and explore what could support you right now.
How I can support you
Every path begins with a first step. These are the ways we can work together:
About me
I am Doris Lyra Rothgänger – coach and certified hypnosis trainer based in Regensburg. My work combines psychological coaching, trauma-sensitive support and hypnosis to guide you back to stability during difficult phases.
I work in both German and English. Regensburg is a very international city, yet emotional support in English is rare – I would like to change that for the people who study, work and live here.
My focus is that you can understand and stabilise yourself again: where do your burdens come from? How do you regulate your nervous system? How do you find your way back to clarity and confidence? I work respectfully, grounded and without pressure.
More about me
“Our experiences shape our beliefs, our behaviour and our nervous system. Once we understand these connections, we can realign – and stand steady in our own life again.”
— Lyra
Frequently asked questions
Answers for everyone wondering whether support is the right next step.
Are you looking for psychological support in Regensburg?
Many people initially search for a psychologist when what they actually mean is professional support with personal or emotional burdens. I work within the framework of psychological coaching. That means: I support you in understanding emotional patterns, gaining inner clarity, and developing new ways of dealing with strain. This includes psychological methods as well as approaches for nervous-system regulation. However, I am not a licensed psychotherapist and my offer does not replace medical or psychotherapeutic treatment. If such treatment is necessary, I will gladly support you in finding the right path.
Do you really work in English?
Yes. I work in fluent English as well as German. Regensburg is an international city with a large university, and there is very little emotional support available in English – so all my offers, from the free intro session to hypnosis sessions, can be held entirely in English.
Who is this coaching for?
For people who feel overwhelmed, restless or anxious, who are going through a crisis, or who simply do not want to continue the way things are. You do not need a diagnosis – only the wish for change and support.
What is the difference between coaching and psychotherapy?
Coaching is not the treatment of illness. It is for people looking for stability, clarity and practical tools during a difficult phase. If there are signs of a mental health condition or an acute crisis, I will point you towards medical or psychotherapeutic help.
How does the free intro session work?
We speak for about 20 minutes about your situation and what you hope for. You quickly get a sense of whether my style and methods suit you. Afterwards you decide in your own time whether you would like to start.
Can I join online?
Yes. All offers are available in person in Regensburg or online. Online sessions take place via video call – eye contact is important to me. For hypnosis sessions you need a quiet place to lie down, a smartphone or laptop for the video call, and ideally headphones.
I have just moved to Germany and feel isolated. Can you help?
Yes. Many internationals in Regensburg experience culture shock, loneliness, academic or work pressure and the loss of their usual support network. We work on stabilising your nervous system, building structure and finding your footing here.
What is nervous system regulation?
Under long-term strain the nervous system often stays in alarm or shutdown mode. Through targeted breath, body and attention exercises you learn to recognise this state and actively change it. That is how real inner stability develops.
What does a session cost?
We discuss costs individually in the free intro session, as they depend on the type and scope of the support. You get all information transparently and without obligation.
