Hello, I am Monika: Psychologist (M. Sc.), Systemic Business Coach (IfAP, Cologne) and Positive Psychology Consultant (DGPP Berlin). I founded Project Makai to help people realize their goals with courage and confidence. For this, the focus is on strengthening one’s mental health.<\/p>\n

Growing up in Germany, I studied Psychology (Master of Science) and Cognitive Neuroscience at the Ruhr University in Bochum. My curiosity led me to applied research at the Fraunhofer Institute. At Deloitte, I worked for clients in various industries.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Today I work as a freelance psychologist for clients and companies. But even though my expertise enables me to accompany you individually, my journey also motivates me to bring out your unique strengths and potential. As a self-doubting and external feedback-oriented person, I became, in the last ten years, the creator of my future.<\/p>\n

Today I pass on my knowledge with enthusiasm and joy.<\/p>\n

My vision: To bring people into the feeling of emotional freedom, clarity and pure joy of life – so that they can live exactly the life that corresponds to their potential.<\/p>\n

My primary approach involves drawing from Positive Psychology<\/strong>, which studies how individuals can thrive, mature, and enhance their well-being.<\/p>\n

Above all, I greatly emphasise building a trusting<\/strong> and collaborative relationship with you<\/strong>. This forms the cornerstone of your personal growth journey. You determine the path, and I am there to walk alongside you. I offer guidance that propels you towards your goals more swiftly and efficiently. I also pose thought-provoking questions that encourage self-reflection<\/strong> and inspire new insights<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
