Jutta is a psychologist with an Honours degree from the University of Sydney and a postgraduate Certificate in Applied Science (Psychology of Coaching) from the same university. She has also completed a degree in Social Work. Jutta is a member of the Australian Psychological Society (APS) and on the NSW committee of the Psychoanalytically Oriented Psychology Interest Group of the APS.

Jutta has worked as a psychotherapist in private practice for more than 20 years. She originally trained in Gestalt Therapy and Psychodrama in Germany. She supervised and taught as a Gestalt Therapist both in Germany and Australia for many years. Over the last decade, Jutta has been interested in how manifest behaviour and thinking is influenced by the unconscious mind. She trained in psychoanalytic theory and practice and now integrates her knowledge of experiential and cognitive therapies with her knowledge of psychoanalysis. Jutta works with individuals and couples in short- and long-term psychotherapy.

Jutta has a particular interest in children and adolescents and conducts emotional assessments for these groups. She enjoys working with the parents in co-developing strategies of how to manage challenging behaviour in children once their unconscious conflicts and worries have been understood. She also sees children and adolescents for ongoing play therapy and for psychotherapy.
