The story of your life deserves to be told and written down.

Do you feel like writing your life story, but don't know where to begin?

Or would you rather tell your life story instead of writing it down yourself?

We'll guide you through the process. We offer personalized, empathetic support, grounded in proven psychological understanding.

We'll listen to you and hold your pen so you can focus entirely on telling your story. If desired, and tailored to your individual needs, we'll provide prompts and edit your story with care and respect.

Your first step is completely non-binding: Feel free to book a free initial consultation.

Two ways to capture your story

You write, we edit.

Have you already started writing, or do you prefer to write it yourself? We'll talk to you about your story, help you organize and develop it further. We'll also edit your text without compromising its personal style.

You tell the story, we write it down.

You speak calmly about your life; we listen attentively and put your story into words. You don't have to formulate anything, organize anything, or make anything perfect. Your voice remains your voice.

Here are 3 good reasons to write down your life story:

Because you are worth it.

Your life has left its mark: turning points, successes, detours, and moments that have shaped you. Writing them down means honoring your experiences and giving meaning to your own journey.

As a gift to the people who are close to you.

For your partner, your children and grandchildren, your family, friends, colleagues and companions. A written life story is a retrospective, an appreciation and a thank you all at once, for the most precious thing we have: time spent together.

As a valuable contribution to others.

A published life story allows others to learn from your experiences and provides guidance for their own decisions. It also offers encouragement because readers see that they are not alone in their doubts.

What you can and cannot expect from our psychological writing support.

Our service offers psychological support in writing your life story. It is conducted by qualified psychologists. The focus is on narrating, remembering, organizing, and writing down your biography.

What's included in our services:

Attentive listening and empathetic storytelling guidance
Suggestions for remembering, structuring, and deepening your understanding, for example, of life stages, turning points, and values
Resource-oriented and positive writing approaches that highlight your strengths, formative relationships, and successful experiences
Transcription of your story or editing of your own text
Up to two rounds of revisions to ensure your story is accurately recorded and to allow for the addition of any elements forgotten during the narration.

Disclaimer: What is not part of our services:

Our support is not psychotherapy or medical treatment. We do not make diagnoses, treat illnesses or disorders, or offer trauma therapy. We do not process or delve deeper into distressing experiences, such as traumas or mental illnesses. If you wish to share your story, we will respectfully acknowledge your request. However, therapeutic processing belongs in a psychotherapeutic setting with licensed psychotherapists or physicians.

We talk. At the agreed time, we call you via video call. You tell your story, we listen.
We take notes. Only with your written consent will we record the conversation* and then transcribe the part of your story that you shared.
We refine it together. We are happy to correct individual sections or add anything you think of later.

Our goal: We want you to be happy and satisfied with how your story is written. Only when we have achieved this will we offer you the opportunity to continue your story and book more time.

Frequently Asked Questions

I've never written anything before. Can I even do this?

Absolutely! You don't need to know how to write. Just tell us your story as it comes to you, and we'll turn your words into text. Your story is what matters, not your writing style.

What happens if something difficult comes back to haunt me while I'm talking about it?

This can happen with memories, and that's perfectly normal. We will listen to you respectfully and proceed at your own pace. However, we do not offer therapy for distressing experiences such as trauma, as licensed psychotherapists are the appropriate professionals for that. We are happy to help you find a suitable path to therapy.

I don't even know where to begin. Is that a problem?

Not at all, almost everyone feels that way. Together, we'll find a starting point, whether it's a childhood memory, a special person, or a turning point in your life. You don't need to prepare anything.

Is this therapy?

No. It's psychological support as you tell and write your life story, with listening, suggestions, and a focus on your strengths and positive memories. It does not replace psychotherapy or medical treatment.

How long does it take?

As long as it feels right for you. Some tell their story concisely in a few weeks, others take months. There's no such thing as "too slow" or "too late."

Can I publish my story?

If you'd like, absolutely. We'll support you in sharing your story with a wider audience. Whether and how you do so is entirely up to you.

I've already written something. Can you help me?

Absolutely! We read with care, help with organization, and proofread your text. Your personal style will remain intact.

Do I have to tell my whole life story?

No. You decide whether it's a single chapter, a particular period of your life, or your entire life. And what you prefer to keep to yourself, of course, remains yours.

What happens to the recording and my story?

Your trust is important to us. We only record with your written consent. The audio recording is permanently deleted after it has been transcribed. Your story belongs to you.

How much does it cost, and what if I don't like it?

You book our time in packages. You only book the next package if you're happy with what's been discussed so far. The initial consultation is free and without obligation, completely pressure-free.
