about me
Nicolas Krueckeberg MA
For more than 25 years, I have been committed to working with families and young children on the autism spectrum in the fields of therapy and education.
Since 2006, I have specialised exclusively in a range of early intervention techniques, studying and working in various therapy centres in the UK, in Israel and in Switzerland.
Between 2010 and 2020 I joined the exciting new venture of setting up the FIAS-Therapy-Centre for Early Intervention in Autism at the University Psychiatric Clinic (UPK) in Basel, Switzerland.
In 2021 I founded my own consultancy per:spectrum and started working in private practice. I offer training, advice and supervision to clinicians, teachers and support-workers in different educational and therapeutic ASD-early-years-settings.
My main area of specialism lies in facilitating interactional play with young children on the autism spectrum and in working with the underlying processes of affect-regulation within the therapeutic relationship.
I am also passionate about video work and offer training to mental health professionals, who wish to integrate video intervention therapy techniques in their clinical practice.
Individual family consultations complement my online services and are available to all parents and caregivers of young children on the autism spectrum.

In 2009, at a meeting we held in Switzerland to select therapists, a young man, who came from England, stood out. Something in his eyes revealed Live Company. Of course, he was chosen to undergo training at the Mifne Center in Israel and later in Switzerland.
The processes that Nicolas has gone through in the years since, both personal, and professional, are most impressive.
The art of therapy is examined, among other things, by the therapists’ ability to apply theory into practice, within his own family as well. The journey that Nicolas recently undertook together with his family is admirable!
I have no doubt that his analytical therapeutic capabilities, his observation skills and insightfulness will support anyone who needs it!
The bond that has been formed between him and me is precious to me and reaches across continents.

With his professional consultancy per:spectrum, Nicolas Krueckeberg combines three central aspects in a remarkable way:
- an excellent clinical expertise in working with children on the autism spectrum and their families
- a pronounced humanistic attitude, evident in all his services, and
- a very innovative approach, that uses current advances in technology to make his services widely available, which also contributes to an overall parity in the accessibility of healthcare provisions.
Based on these foundations, Nicolas Krückeberg will lead per:spectrum to success.

Als Kinderarzt habe ich Nicolas Krückeberg als sehr kompetenten Begleiter von meinen Patienten kennengelernt, die im Rahmen des Zentrums FIAS für autistische Kinder behandelt wurden. Er hat dies sowohl in physischen Besprechungen wie auch online mit den Familien durchgeführt. Er hat den Familien und dem betreuenden Team die ASS-spezifischen Eigenheiten der Kinder erklärt und konkrete Handlungsanleitungen vorgeschlagen. Das war sehr hilfreich.
