Group size: Max. 6 participants + Leonie
Language: English
Session 1- 14.1.26
Subjective Wellbeing
How can I bring more happiness into my daily life? We’ll start by getting to know each other, use a short questionnaire to reflect on where we currently stand, and gather first ideas and strategies to invest more in our well-being.
Session 2- 28.1.26
Value-based Happiness
What truly matters to me in life – and am I really investing in what’s important? With the help of a questionnaire, we’ll explore these questions, develop first ideas for change, and take initial steps toward strengthening our long-term well-being.
Session 3- 11.2.26 Setting Goals
How can I set goals that truly move me forward? Using simple tools (such as the SMART model) and individual reflection on obstacles and strategies, we’ll turn the change ideas from the first workshops into concrete steps toward greater well-being.
Session 4- 25.2.26
Moving forward with Intention
In this workshop, we will explore how our thoughts and emotions sometimes lead us to act in ways that don’t align with our values, wishes, and goals. We’ll discuss the role these thoughts and feelings play in relation to our current goals and how we can respond to them more effectively.
Session 5- 11.3.26
Positive Relation with myself
When it comes to ourselves, our thoughts often play a major role – and we are often our own harshest critics. In this session, we’ll reflect on the standards we set for ourselves, whether they are healthy and realistic, and explore how to cultivate greater self-compassion.
Session 6- 25.3.26
Self-Efficacy& Closing
In our final workshop, we’ll reflect on the past weeks as well as on personal successes in general: What am I good at? How have I managed challenges and created positive change? What can I take from these experiences to act with greater confidence in the future?
What do I need? Just a stable internet connection and a notebook.
Why should I join? I don’t just want to raise awareness about psychological topics and provide tools to improve well-being — I also want to create a sense of community and offer a meaningful, supportive, and healing exchange. The workshops build on each other, and I’ll provide homework to help deepen the topics and apply techniques in daily life. I’ll also use a tool called Trello to share worksheets and information with you. By the end of the workshops, you’ll be familiar with techniques to sustainably improve your well-being and will receive a free PDF version of my journal to continue your personal work on your own.
How do I sign up? Simply click the Register button above – you’ll be redirected to a short form where you can enter your details and also ask any questions you may have. Alternatively, you can also email me directly.
Do I have to share personal or intimate things about myself? No! You are completely free to decide what you would like to share and what you prefer to keep to yourself.
Anything else I should know? Once you sign up, you’ll receive a confirmation email, the invoice for the workshop series, and a consent form. The form includes information on data protection as well as further details about this psychological intervention.

Group-Workshops in Bologna
In our digitally driven everyday lives—where mental health is still often treated as a taboo—I want to create community.
Sharing our experiences with others is powerful.
It can be:
Healing – "Ah, I'm not alone with this problem.",
Instructive – "I could try that strategy too.",
Supportive – "I did it—you can do it too!", and it helps us feel
safe and connected.
My workshops are diverse in content, ranging from deep conversations about the meaning of life to navigating challenges in romantic relationships. Each session is tailored to the needs and interests of the group.
If you're interested in current or upcoming workshops, feel free to contact me.
I'm also available to
lead workshops at private events or at your location. Upon request, I can host up to 12 participants in a space in
Bologna.
Past Workshops
Well-Being
What does a person need in order to feel psychologically well? How can we define well-being? When do I personally feel happy and content? In partner, group, and individual exercises we will explore these questions together. I will provide psychological background knowledge on the topic and offer small prompts to encourage reflection. The goal is to think more deeply about ourselves—to gain clarity about what we are already satisfied with, what we might like to change, and to use the group exchange to discover different perspectives on mental well-being.
Values
What is truly important to me in life? What used to be important, but has recently fallen by the wayside?
We begin this exploration individually, using a questionnaire developed within the framework of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) as a helpful tool for self-reflection.
Depending on the group dynamic, we then discuss our results with a partner or friend and explore strategies for moving toward a more values-based life. To support this, we use the SMART goals framework. Afterwards, we come together as a group to reflect on our experiences, share thoughts and feelings, and engage in meaningful discussion—only sharing what feels right for each individual.
The aim is to get closer to a values-oriented life and to be able to draw on clarity about our personal values, especially during challenging times.
Dealing with negative emotions
What triggers feelings like sadness, anger, or fear?How do these emotions affect our mental health—and what can we do when they become overwhelming?
In this workshop, we:
- Share (if we choose to) how certain feelings affect us
- Reflect on when emotions might actually be helpful
- Learn concrete strategies to reduce the negative impact of difficult emotions
Together, we build greater awareness and realize that we are not alone in our struggles—while gaining
practical tools
to manage them more effectively.
Strengthen your strengths
This workshop is a journey to discovering and celebrating your unique inner resources—not the kind you mention in job interviews, but personal traits like hope, curiosity, humor, or perseverance. Using a scientifically based questionnaire, we explore the 24 core character strengths identified by leading psychological research.
You’ll have space to:
- Reflect on your personal results
- Receive encouraging feedback from others
- Find ways to bring your strengths into everyday life
- Learn more about the so-called "happiness strengths"
We end with a creative visualization exercise, helping you connect with what makes you you—with clarity, appreciation, and self-confidence.
