I'm Elena Tinkloh – psychotherapist, clinical psychologist, and flow artist based in Landau, Germany. I work online with clients in Germany and internationally.
I work with what's hard to name – and help you find the words.
I work with mind, body, and the space where feelings are still diffuse before language catches up.
I create room for what's emerging – even for what resists clean categories.
Therapy isn't about fixing broken parts.
It's about understanding the logic of your reactions,
reconnecting with what feels true,
and building capacity to move through what's stuck.
Clinical Expertise Meets Embodied Practice
-
Mental Support & Psychotherapy
I'm a licensed psychotherapist trained in cognitive-behavioral methods, trauma-informed practice, and crisis intervention.
My background includes forensic psychiatry, psychosomatic rehabilitation, and municipal counseling - contexts that taught me to hold intensity and work with complexity that doesn't fit diagnostic boxes.Since 2022, I've been in independent practice, working online with clients in Germany and internationally. Sessions are tailored to what you actually need - not what a treatment manual prescribes. I draw from evidence-based methods and embodied approaches, and I trust that gut feelings and projection are part of the process.
People come to me when something feels stuck: relationship patterns, burnout, anxiety, habits that no longer serve. They want to understand themselves more deeply and live with more ease. Whether you need focused short-term work or ongoing support - the goal is change that lasts.

Seminars & Professional Training
I train professionals in crisis intervention, threat assessment, and communication under pressure - skills that emerged from years of navigating high-stakes situations where theory alone doesn't cut it.
My seminars focus on presence, regulation, and how to stay grounded when things get intense. This work is informed by clinical psychology, but it's shaped just as much by embodied practice: how you hold yourself, how you use your voice, how you manage your own activation while holding space for someone else's.

Flow Arts & Embodied Practice
I've been a flow artist since 2014 - hula hooping, fire performance, staff work, and Taiji. What started as something I loved became something that carries me through professional challenges and fundamentally shaped how I work.
Flow arts taught me what clinical training only mentions in passing: the body holds answers the mind can't access alone. Often, the path to change isn't just through talking - it's through living differently, through moving, through learning how tension and release work in the body.
This isn't separate from my therapeutic work. It feeds it. The way I help people regulate under pressure, the way I teach presence and embodiment in seminars - that didn't come from textbooks alone.
What connects it all
Honesty. The ability to create space when feelings are still wordless. The willingness to sit with what's uncomfortable until clarity emerges.
I don't pathologize what's difficult, and I don't offer polished positivity. I offer a grounded, collaborative process where we work with what's actually happening - not what should be happening according to someone else's framework.
Psychology has always been political. The way we define "normal," the way we treat distress, the way we expect people to adapt to systems that harm them - these aren't neutral choices. My work acknowledges that. I'm here to help you understand yourself more deeply, build what serves you, and question what doesn't.
