Katja Fieguth
Katja is a psychologist who combines systemic therapy with a warm, personalised approach to support your mental well-being journey. With over twenty years of experience across Asia, Germany, and the Netherlands, she expertly helps you navigate life’s changes and find deeper meaning. In your sessions with Katja, you’ll discover how your systems—whether family, work relationships, or social circles—influence your behaviour and thought patterns. Having lived as an expat in Singapore and Hong Kong while raising her family, she brings a rich understanding of cultural challenges to each consultation. Katja creates an open, positive atmosphere where you’ll feel quickly at ease. When not helping others, she maintains her own well-being through regular yoga, writing, and spending time with her beloved horse Tinkerbell, whom she also incorporates into her therapeutic work outside of OpenUp.
