I am a lecturer with extensive experience at universities in China (12+ years) and in intercultural communication, a trained psychological counselor (Gestalt therapy) and Qigong instructor. Since October 2023 I have combined my counseling work with my teaching activities at a foreign language university in Beijing. Professional background: Activities in teaching and further education with a focus on foreign language teaching, society, culture, intercultural, career and personal counseling of students. One of my concerns is to support people with a different socio-cultural background (e. g. expatriates, international academics) in "settling in" / living in the country of their choice - whether it is Germany or China. This includes culture-sensitive coachings on the basis of humanistic psychology. Approaches in counselling and therapy: Analytic Gestalt Therapy, Person-Centered Counseling, motivational interviewing, EFT (tapping), Qi Gong (as relaxation method, improving awareness of self and body, coordination).
