Systemic Counseling

Windrose Guidance


Karin Maria Zimmermann

Clarity · Meaning · Transformation

Welcome to Windrose Guidance

If you’re looking for trustworthy, professional support to navigate life’s challenges — and at the same time wish for someone who is open to deeper, even existential questions — you’ve come to the right place.

I invite you to pause, re-orient your inner compass, and set out on a journey of transformation.

I’m Karin Maria Zimmermann — Protestant theologian, systemic counselor in training at IF Weinheim, and member of the Systemic Society (SG). Windrose Guidance is the heart of my work: a place where clarity, presence, and compassion meet.

About me

Why Counseling?

In Chinese, the word for “crisis” combines two characters: danger and opportunity. Like shifting clouds, every crisis holds both challenge and the potential for change. Times of transition often feel uncertain, yet — just as the sky clears after a storm — transformation can bring relief and a fresh view of life.

Together we create a space where uncertainty is allowed and new perspectives can unfold.

You might seek counseling when facing:

  • transitions in life or relationships

  • career changes and important decisions

  • exhaustion, overwhelm, or burnout prevention

  • inner conflicts and personal crises

  • a longing for growth and self-connection

  • questions of meaning or spirituality

Discover how I can accompany you — in individual work or within group experiences.

Beyond the Counseling Room

In addition to one-to-one sessions in Trieste and online, I offer unique formats that open space for retreat, self-discovery, and new orientation.

What Clients Say

Andrei

“I don’t usually accept outside help, especially not in personal or professional matters where vulnerability is involved.

That’s why I’m all the more grateful I took the step to work with Karin. From the very beginning, I felt fully seen and heard. It wasn’t about quick solutions, but about truly exploring where I stand. Her questions were thoughtful, gentle, yet purposeful — sparking processes in me I would not have started on my own.

What I value most is the respectful space she creates. There are no ready-made answers, only genuine presence and empathy. Through our conversations I’ve learned to listen to my inner voice again — and to take concrete steps that helped me move out of a mental and emotional dead-end.

This work changed something in me. Growth doesn’t always come with fireworks — often it happens quietly, through the courage to ask: Where do I really want to go?

Karin encouraged me to find my own answers. For that, I’m deeply grateful. I can wholeheartedly recommend this experience to anyone who feels stuck — or who senses that change is on the horizon.”

Where we travel
depends not on the wind,
but on how we set our sails.
I look forward to meeting you!
