My Qualifications
Pioneers Of Integrative Training Since 1978
2006 - 2012 Training in Integrative Psychotherapy at the Minster Centre in London (UK)
The Minster Centre is a well established, BACP regulated training organisation for integrative psychotherapy and counselling.
The training focuses on experiential aspects of learning (learning by doing) through working in groups, with training clients and placements outside the organisation. Rigorous self-examination is required from students as well as academic excellence.
I completed the training with an MA (accredited by Middlesex University), the 'Advanced Diploma Integrative Psychotherapy' and a diploma in integrative counselling. In 2015 I acquired the 'Heilpraktiker beschränkt auf das Gebiet der Psychotherapie', a licence that allows opening private practice in Germany.
My work is professionally supervised. In 2019 I acquired the ECP, a certificate issued by a European lobbying organisation that aims towards unified standards in Psychotherapy.
The European Association for Psychotherapy
I am a member of Deutscher Dachverband für Psychotherapie e.V. DVP, which is the German branch of the EAP. The EAP promotes Psychotherapy within in Europe. I am an ECP holder (European Certificate for Psychotherapy), which is issued by the European Association for Psychotherapy based on a high standard of training and continuing professional development (EAP). I have attended trainings in Germany as well in the U.K. ever since (some online, of course).
The EAP recognises the integrative approach as evidence based.
