I am a professor of industrial and organisational psychology and have completed my studies in psychology with a Master’s degree and a doctorate. My focus was on mental health and work and organisational psychology. Since I love working with people on the one hand, but am also interested in companies and work processes on the other, I work at the interfaces of coaching, therapy, counselling and mediation in companies, but also with private individuals and families.
While at the beginning of my professional career since 2001 I worked mainly as a mediator and conflict counsellor in medium-sized and international companies and family businesses, my career has increasingly led me into the field of coaching professionals and managers in international contexts. From there, my therapeutic training then led me increasingly to work with people in psychological crisis situations.
Today I work as a systemic family therapist, but I also use methods from Jungian psychology, archetype and dream analysis, shadow work, active imagination and hypnosis. My perspectives are shaped by positive existential therapy and the questions of vision and meaning in the context of life and work.
Often my clients are internationally active, have emigrated, live and work as expats or have multicultural biographies – like myself. Accordingly, I work in English and German and have a special focus on the challenges of intercultural living.
