“A human being is a deciding being.” (Viktor E. Frankl)

I have academic English language skills (Master of Arts) and, as a teacher of German as a Foreign Language, intercultural competence, too, but no opportunity to practise my spoken English on a regular basis.

So, if you are not expecting fluently spoken English, but looking for a sensitive and empathic conversational partner that you’d like to explore your occupational aims and your private relationships with, you are welcome!

I work solution focused, with NLP and non-violent communication (NVC). All these approaches have Anglo-American background.

“Nonviolent Communication (NVC) is a process developed by Marshall Rosenberg. It is a way to communicate with greater compassion and clarity. It focuses on two things: honest self-expression — exposing what matters to oneself in a way that’s likely to inspire compassion in others, and empathy — listening with deep compassion.

One central tenet of nonviolent communication (also called “compassionate communication”) is that everything a human being does (whether benign or hurtful) is an attempt to meet their human needs. NVC postulates that conflict between individuals or groups is a result of miscommunication about these needs, (…).

One aim of NVC is to create a situation in which everyone’s needs are met. The reasoning is that from a state of mutual understanding and compassion, new strategies will be generated that meet at least some needs of everyone.” (source: Wikipedia)

For existential questions in situations of change, I use the logotherapeutic approach of the Vienna psychartrist Viktor E. Frankl, who is still popular in the United States with his bestseller: “Man’s Search for Meaning”.

“Logotherapy was developed by neurologist and psychiatrist Viktor Frankl. It is considered the “Third Viennese School of Psychotherapy”[1] after Freud’s psychoanalysis and Adler’s individual psychology. It is a type of existentialist analysis that focuses on a will to meaning as opposed to Adler’s Nietzschean doctrine of will to power or Freud’s will to pleasure. Rather than power or pleasure, logotherapy is founded upon the belief that it is the striving to find a meaning in one’s life that is the primary, most powerful motivating and driving force in humans.” (source: Wikipedia)

If you are suffering from a loss, I can offer you loss and bereavement counselling. Research in this field is mainly done in England and the U.S.
