Your feelings aren’t the enemy. Learn to work with - not against - them. If you feel too much, think too much, or don’t quite fit in any box – you’re in the right place. Here we name what hurts, get curious about why it’s there, and find ways to set it down for good. Online, in English or German, I work with mind and body – to help you feel lighter, steadier, and more you!

feel it

understand it

transform it

  • Pink

    LIGHTNESS BEGINS WITH HONESTY

    → Why proper pink needs
    more courage than glitter.

    For many, the colour pink stands for lightness, vibrancy, and playfulness. But true lightness doesn’t come from glossing things over.
 Pink washing means covering up what’s wrong – or pretending that the proverbial pink elephant in the room isn’t there.


    Lightness can only blossom in our lives when we find the courage to name what hurts us and allow ourselves to feel the pain.

  • Punk

    BETTER REAL THAN “ON TREND”

    → How a little punk attitude can free you up.

    Many mental and physical blockages arise when we try to adapt to something that doesn’t fit our true inner nature – often to be accepted by others.

    But real inner contentment can only grow when we learn to accept ourselves exactly as we are.
 That’s the foundation for showing up authentically, building lasting connections, and staying steady even when we face rejection.


    A dash of punk – the kind that says “better real than fashionable” – can be surprisingly liberating.

  • Psychology

    MAKING SENSE OF YOUR MIND

    → Why understanding your “psycho-logic” changes everything.

    Understanding yourself – and others – in emotionally challenging moments takes both knowledge and practice.


    Our behaviour often follows its own “psycho-logic,” which, in everyday life, doesn’t always seem logical at all.
Uncomfortable emotions like fear or anger can make communication and clear decisions much harder.

    Often just a few sessions are enough to shed light on thought and behaviour patterns, making the logic of your own mind both visible – and changeable.

I’m here to shed some light and help uncover the roots of heavy emotions – and, step by step, lay them to rest in the past.

"Why does this sh*t keep happening to me?"

  • The Repetition Trap is a known psychological phenomenon.

    Many things in life aren’t as coincidental as they seem. Who gets opportunities, who seems “unlucky”? Up to 80% of what we feel, think, and do is shaped by our unconscious mind. Within seconds of meeting someone, we often just know in our gut: I can or I can’t with this person — and they feel the same about us. These instant reactions often stem from early life experiences.

    The good news? The repetition trap can be defused. When we bring unconscious patterns into conscious awareness, we gain the power to change them.

  • So, what stops that repetitive sh*t from happening?

    We start getting new chances in life when we can choose how we act instead of reacting automatically.

    To loosen these automated reactions and build the ability to respond differently to triggers, I offer schema therapy–inspired sessions. Together, we explore the hidden connections between your past and present.

    Imagine accessing that vast unconscious space that shapes so much of your daily life and cutting the ties from your past that no longer serve you. These changes can make a huge difference.

I’m here to walk that path with you.

I’m Elena Tinkloh and you are welcome the way you are!

I help people strengthen their mental health
– clearly, effectively and sometimes unconventionally. Combining my background as a psychologist, cognitive behavioral therapist, and flow artist, I use creative, trauma-informed methods to help you activate your self-healing and bring mind, body, and spirit back into balance.

Psychotherapy is only for nut jobs!?

  • First of all:

    Nuts are amazing!
    Small, yet packed with high - quality nutrients. They carry everything needed to grow into a huge, resilient tree - if they land in the right soil.

    Some jobs only nuts can do: resisting a harsh human climate. It takes sensitivity to injustice and a mind of your own to refuse to accept “just the way things are.”

    If you’re one of those nuts with too many edges to fit in - I’m here for you.

  • Secondly:

    Although I’m licensed in cognitive-behavioral psychotherapy in Germany, I don’t offer classical therapy.

    I want to be there for you wherever you are, using every tool I have - in the way I see fit, both personally and professionally. That’s why I work on my own terms, outside the clinical system.

    Legally, I’m therefore not allowed to call my sessions psychotherapy - they are mental support sessions.

Schedule a free 15-minute call with me and let’s see if we click - and spark something new in you.

Clients voices

  • She explains challenging things in a simple, clear and incredibly interesting way, so everyone was very inspired and motivated.

    “We invited Elena as a tutor and a psychologist to support adult students in their learning process during our online course.

    She created a cosy and trusting atmosphere in the group from the first session. She explains challenging things in a simple, clear and incredibly interesting way, so everyone was very inspired and motivated. Elena helped each student to cope with individual difficulties and made a really great contribution into the process and the results.

    Students were very grateful for these sessions with Elena. She is a true professional and such a wonderful person, working with her is a comfortable and enjoyable process. We’re amazed and gonna invite Elena to all of our future courses.”

  • It has greatly improved not just the quality of my flow practice, but my everyday life

    “It was fantastic to have Flow mindset classes with PinkPunkPsychology!

    I learned so much helpful information and got great actionable advice, like incorporating sensual triggers, practice hacks like sandwiching and mindful word infusion. It has greatly improved not just the quality of my flow practice, but my everyday life.

    Elena is a visionary & a wonderful teacher!”

  • For a moment I thought I would quit, but Elena changed my view on the learning process.

    “During the Flow Theory Sessions Elena explained us in a funny way the science behind flow, giving us simple and useful tips to improve our skills.

    We learnt how to avoid getting stuck and stay motivated during the learning process.  I am really grateful that Natalie invited her as a lecturer to the silk fans course. For a moment I thought I would quit, but Elena changed my view on the learning process.”
