My Background

My professional background includes a wide range of interests in different social topics, such as philosophy, psychology, health, society, etc. and is unified by a passion for work with and for humans.

I rely on fundamental experiences and knowledge gained through my work in Education and Development. Today, my current professional focus is on working as a psychological counsellor, coach and consultant, as well as a head master.

I have an open mind and love to try new things and experience different cultures and languages while travelling abroad. I make a point to prioritise my physical and mental health.

I always try to offer my knowledge and my personal experience as an example, so that the client can adapt what I’ve learned to their personal situation.

I believe our intellect and our acquired knowledge can help us out every so often, but we only find our true purpose, strength and power by connecting with our inner wisdom and intuition.

Quality regulations
I regularly attend intervision, supervision and advanced trainings as well as professional groups and courses.

Important
The work as a counsellor/consultant/coach/supervisor isn't equal to the work as a (psycho-) therapist treatment.
