About me · Coach and mediator in Ahrensburg

Where I come from

I trained as a teacher of English and History (bilingual) and worked for more than 16 years at German grammar schools. Above all, that time taught me to understand people: what makes different personalities tick, how blocks arise — and how to move past them for good.

Why that matters for you

Alongside that work I completed a doctorate on professionalism and professionalisation.

I am a university-certified coach, a mediator under the German Mediation Act, and a stress coach of the Drachenberg Akademie. For you that means: my work rests on careful reflection and real practice, not on motivational slogans.

I am also:

A father – I know responsibility, time pressure and everyday reality

Open to the world – living abroad taught me to shift perspective and showed me how singular people and their stories are

A music lover (hip-hop) – I believe in the equal worth of every personality, in authenticity, and in your own rhythm in life

What sets my work apart:

Empathy, real attentiveness and a fine sense for people. And let us not forget to laugh now and then!

How I work

I work confidentially, in a structured way and with an open outcome — in English and in German, following a systemic approach. Active listening and empathy for your values and needs shape everything I do. And a smile, even when the subject is serious.
