Bio

My professional career in the Human Sciences spanned decades of post-graduate trainings in different humanistic approaches

I was learning from 14 German and Swiss practitioners and 5 international pioneers and practitioners: Gerda Boyesen (NOR), David Boadella (UK), Eugene Gendlin (US), Mia Leijssen (BEL) and Christiane Geiser (CH). The trainings were in Biodynamic, Biosynthese, Focusing, Existential Wellbeing and Focusing Processing of Structure-Boundness

I passed a seven-year-programm in person-centered training, undergoing two certification procedures at the Person-Centered Institute AGB Berlin (depth-oriented, 1998) and the Person-Centered Institute IGB Stuttgart (behavioral-oriented, 2004). The program was performed by 18 clinical teachers, having different backgrounds and styles of person-centered practice (with critical-marxist and existential teachings from teachers of former East Berlin Institute of Person-Centered Psychotherapy)

Two University degrees from the Free University of Berlin (BA, MA 1992) and the Eberhard Karls University of Tübingen (MA 2010) were backing up my professional practice. They were based on two thesis of 410 pages in total (qualitative research and theory)

For thirty years Person-centered Experiential Psychotherapy, Counseling and Adult Education was the focus of my professional life
