The lens through which i work
As a couples therapist in Berlin, I witness daily how strongly our Western way of life is focused on performance and control. Yet in doing so, we often lose touch with what truly matters: connection, a clear view of ourselves, and an inner openness to whatever life brings.
Self-optimization can quickly turn into self-sabotage – especially when we try to find new solutions using old habits.
My work as a couples therapist aims to break this cycle. For this, I combine modern psychology with effective approaches from diverse cultures.
It’s not about functioning “better” – but about understanding what moves us, acting with greater awareness, and consciously growing.
“Man sacrifices his health to make money. Then he sacrifices his money to regain his health. He lives as if he will never die—and then dies having never really lived.”
Tenzin Gyatso, 14th Dalai Lama (*1935)

MY PATH TO BECOMING A COUPLES THERAPIST
Growing up in Havana, it was clear: parenting is a community effort. The whole neighborhood kept an eye on me. Early on, I learned:
“We are more connected than we think – and the people around us shape us -whether we realize it or not.”
These invisible connections and dynamics continue to fascinate me to this day.
I combine Western psychology with the pragmatic wisdom of other cultures. Not esoteric, but effective. My motto: Think intercultural – act practical.
Today, I am a psychologist, couples therapist, and guide with an intercultural perspective. I live and work in Berlin, helping people better understand themselves and their relationships.
“Clear, respectful and honest – for all those who are ready to take a closer look and break new ground.”
Change begins where we have the courage to look honestly. Where we take responsibility and are ready to work – on ourselves and our relationships.
“We are more connected than we think - and the people around us shape us -whether we realize it or not.”

Reviews
Caro Köther
"Angel challenges you and pushes you to your limits to dare to go beyond them. It clearly shows you the consequences of your actions and teaches you to take responsibility for yourself. He manages to pick you up and keeps his great treasure of wisdom to himself until you are ready for it. It inspires you to question your old beliefs and makes social patterns transparent."

"Angel has changed my life. He was able to read and understand me in all facets. In workshops and coaching sessions, I experienced how he took away people's physical pain with just a few simple steps and opened their eyes with his clear vision to lead them to a better version of themselves. When personal change hurt, he caught me and supported me and I was able to take another step forward every time."
