Bo Hauer - Practice at Marienplatz Bo Hauer and Gabriela Gottwald

Psychotherapy Weilheim & online, Bo Hauer, practice at Marienplatz, grief support, grief therapy

Hello, I'm Bo.

I am here for moments where words are missing. For what is hard and does not just disappear. For people who hardly recognize themselves and still continue.

Maybe you’re here because you’re looking for someone to notice. Honestly. Attentive. Without putting yourself in a drawer. Then you're right.

I say right away: we do not magic anything away. But we look and we sort. Together. And honestly.

I work integratively and trauma-sensitively. Psychotherapeutic, body-oriented, accompanying in grief, upheaval and a new beginning. What works is individual. What helps may sometimes be unusual, but it must be true for you.

I am someone who asks many questions. And I invite you to ask yours too.

Because often change begins precisely with this: with a question or a feeling that finally gets space.

What touches me? If someone comes and does not realize how much courage already comes. When in the midst of gravity a quiet glimmer of hope appears. I'll hold it. Until you can feel it yourself again.

Why I Do What I Do

I accompany people through times when they hardly recognize themselves. Because I know how it feels.

I am a cancer and suicide survivor. Star sister. Daughter, big sister, wife, mom, girlfriend. A person with many stories.

All experiences have changed me. They showed me how fragile life is and how precious real encounter. They taught me to acknowledge silence as an answer. Speak clearly when guidance is needed. And stay when it gets uncomfortable.

I accompany because I believe that humanity should never be negotiable. And that it starts where someone stays. And it's real.

I don’t just see the wound. I see the courage to be there. And sometimes that’s enough for something new to grow.

What People Say

I work less with rigid grids, but with real encounter and what resonates between us at the moment.

Some people come regularly. Others only occasionally, "for sorting". Not because they have to. Because it is good.

I am described as clear. And warm. As someone who listens and recognizes the right moment. For silence. Or for a laugh that makes air again.

Often it does not have to be anything more. A safe space. A real one. And the experience: I can be there as I am right now.

For whom my work is

For people who don’t just want to function anymore. They are willing to look in the middle, not around. Who want to meet themselves again.

For those who don’t know where up there is. Who seek a place for what is hard. Or someone who stays while they turn to themselves.

For you, if you need someone who really listens. Without judgment, without hurry, without mask.

Grief. Pain. Exhaustion. Quiet crises and loud thoughts. Things that don’t have a name but still push. Here they can be.

Whether you’re in a farewell process, struggling with chronic ailments, or have lost yourself somewhere, you don’t have to carry it alone.

This work is open to women and men, to silent doubters, experienced questioners, young people and people in complex life realities. And sometimes it just takes a safe space to see more clearly again.

Something more on Me

Scroll, Swipe

Sorrow is a land,
which cannot be found on any map
& from which one never fully returns.

Bo Hauer

Whoever I am

For more than two decades, my husband has been at my side. With us it is loud, alive and sometimes wonderfully chaotic. People like to talk a lot and often confused. And yes, occasionally it gets close to the table. But never so close that no one else could join. Who sits at our table, somehow just belongs to it, even if the plate is actually balanced on the knees every now and again.

What shaped me

I am a star sister and have experienced cancer as well as suicide in my own family.
These experiences have cracked my world — into my heart, into my soul.
I felt how pain can be loud, how it calls and wants to be seen.

In the middle of winter I learned that there is an invincible summer in me.

A. Camus

What I learned

That you can live — Despite everything.
That grief and happiness coexist, even if we can hardly imagine it.
That you lose yourself. And finds itself changed.
That even in the dark something remains that shines.
That we can endure more than we believe.
And that sometimes it is a single real moment that changes everything.

Officially indispensable

Chief Happiness Officer

Outer silky and delicate, inside a sensitive connoisseur with charming charm. She gives everyone a chance and feels exactly when someone needs peace and security on quiet paws. She loves the sweet doing nothing on the sofa just as much as the common adventures in the fresh air.

Junior Feelgood Manager

A fluffy plush girl with a smile that makes rooms brighter. A Chow Chow–Schäfi soul full of pride, beauty and character. She does not give away her heart lightly. But whoever wins, experiences a lovely clown who softens hearts and distributes kisses like little love letters.

Team Himmel in the headquarters

It is always too early and every tear is a privilege. See you at the end of infinity.

External Affairs Manager

She loved people and life. Had her own fan club, helped everywhere – in the garden, in the kitchen, in meditations, like to snore loudly. A real soul friend. And we loved our journey together: from the uncoordinated Welpi to the elderly Omi, who showed us every day how big a heart can be.

Chairman and guardian of honour

A gentle giant with an impressive presence. He ended up with us because he himself was unwelcome – and received everyone with a calm that immediately says: Here you are right. That this beginning became so many years together and he was allowed to become stone-old remains an immeasurable gift.

Security Manager

Tender, brave and with a heart greater than herself. She loved her cats and life, faced everything that came, and kept growing beyond herself. And she loved to make herself beautiful – an old scarf was enough for her to proudly present herself. A small manicure she enjoyed like a spa moment. Totally unexpected and gone much too early. Cancer is an A****. Point.

Resource Manager

After a very difficult start in life, equipped with a huge ego and an even bigger heart, he always showed his boundless love in his own way. A fusselcat for whom one’s own physical well-being – and that of his dogs – was a sacred duty. And in the end, he gently said goodbye to everyone.

What really counts

Specific Appreciation

Our meetings were exactly what I needed to be able to really open up. Through your appreciative and empathetic manner, you have allowed me to go my own pace, exploring my feelings. The time with you was something very special for me: It opened up new perspectives for me, arranged my thoughts and emotions and gave me a lot of strength. I am infinitely grateful to you, dear Bo!

― B. K. ―

Nice unobtrusive environment with feel-good factor. Technically very good intensive treatment. Personal application tailored to my needs with very good result. With regular treatment completely painless and satisfied. Much praise!

― L.P. ―

Very good information and treatment, friendly and always takes her time. I am grateful that I found her and I highly recommend her.

― M.J. ―

I came to Bo Hauer through a recommendation. At first I was very skeptical about how therapy could help me get over my loss, but I didn't know any other solution. I felt very well looked after from the very first visit. Bo is an attentive and good listener and, with her competent and sympathetic manner, manages to confront the very unpleasant issues of life with space to experience and develop oneself.

― W.H. ―

Thank you for accompanying me at a difficult time. Your understanding and calm nature has given me support and helped me to find myself again. Your explanations, loving reflections and thoughts have strengthened and enriched me. Coming to you was one of my best decisions.

― M.M. ―

Bo Hauer helped me overcome a recent emotional trauma and self-esteem issues. It was easy for me to open up to her and she helped me develop the necessary tools to get through a difficult time. I highly recommend them.

― N. B. ―

Especially during this time, moments of grief often resurface, even though I thought I had processed the loss of a loved one enough… With Ms. Hauer, I feel completely calm and secure in managing this difficult time alone at home!!!! Thank goodness for the technology that makes this possible via video call. She accepts me as I am in my moments of weakness – with full understanding, compassion, and authenticity. And she always manages to leave me feeling strengthened and 'at peace.' Thank you so much; I truly wouldn’t know where to turn with my worries during this Corona crisis.

― C.B. ―

Frankly, I could hardly imagine at first that even though we only met online, I would feel so well taken care of and understood. Your warm and attentive nature makes each session special, each conversation individual and incredibly valuable. Especially your clever and sensitive questions helped me to get to know myself better and understand everything. For that I thank you from the bottom of my heart. I am glad to have walked this path together with you!
