Psychological Trainings
Trainings for companies & universities
Working life is an interplay of people with dreams and enthusiasm, but also with feelings and needs. However, despite all professional requests, the latter cannot simply be switched off. In my psychological training courses, managers and employees learn, among other things, to recognize feelings and needs in themselves and others, to recognize triggers of stress and anxiety more quickly and to recognize early on where help is needed. I give participants the tools they need to communicate their needs confidently and empathetically, set boundaries and raise concerns with others.
Mental Strength
& Resilience
Training
Staff shortages, overtime, team conflicts and numerous other stressors put a strain on managers and employees. As soon as stress levels become too high or last too long, employees suffer from mental and physical symptoms that can lead to several months of sick leave. Workers often try to relieve their stressors by working more hours, thus exacerbating their stress symptoms.
This mental health training helps managers and employees controling their emotions. They learn to recognize their limits, deal with stressors appropriately and protect their own mental health. As an employer, you can support your workforce by investing directly in their mental health.
Leading
Burdened Employees
Training
Managers create a working environment in which their employees can work healthily and efficiently. They should be able to intervene when they notice that something is off with an employee. As laypeople, they find it difficult to distinguish between acute stress and mental illness or to address the private or health situation of those affected. In this training course, managers learn how to actively create a working environment that promotes the mental health of their team.
During the training, we discuss work-related mental illnesses such as burnout, depression, or anxiety disorders. In group exercises, participants practise how to address their worries while maintaining professional boundaries.
Am I an Impostor?
Training
Many employees struggle with the feeling that their performance falls far short of what their environment expects of them. New tasks trigger fears of no longer being able to meet the requirements. The result is psychological stress and either avoidance of new tasks or excessive overwork.
In group training, participants learn to better recognize their own performance. We work out where the fear of failure comes from and develop individual strategies on how participants can deal with their fear of performing poorly. In this way, we strengthen their mental resilience and promote future performance.
My Career Kick-Off
Training
Especially in the early stages of their career, many employees find it difficult to find their place in working life. In this training, young professionals learn what drives them and how they can gain more confidence in their skills. Participants will learn methods to skillfully use their time and energy and how to set boundaries. They are invited to bring their own cases to practise how to deal constructively with conflict. We discuss how young professionals can network properly and how they can proactively shape their future in the company.
Systemic Business Coaching
Coaching for companies
In individual coaching, we work together to find efficient solutions for clients' individual issues. We set clear and achievable goals, reorganize thoughts and feelings and thus create more clarity about what the client really needs right now. I support my clients with questions and psychological methods so that they can find the solutions that suit them best. In systemic coaching, we look at the client's social relationships and their impact on others. We discover new behaviors with which they can influence and change the (re-) actions in their environment.
Team
Coaching
Teams can only be strong if the individual members learn to complement each other with their strengths. In team coaching, the team looks at what the members need from each other to be able to work together smoothly and efficiently. in a psychologicaly safe environment.

Your team wants to grow together.
-
The team would like to review past challenges and achievements or
prepare for challenges ahead. -
The team wants to work through conflicts and find solutions together.
Conflict
Coaching
Conflicts in the workplace influence the team atmosphere and the success of a project and therefore have far-reaching consequences. Conflicts often develop their own dynamic until no one knows how they started. Conversations between the conflicting parties become emotionally charged and destructive. As a result, the conflict situation makes challenging project work much more difficult.
Example topics:
-
You are trying to mediate between conflicting parties.
-
You find yourself in regular conflict with a leader or team member.
-
Your conflict partner or you yourself become very emotional during conflicts.

In such moments, support from an outsider can help.

-
You feel overwhelmed by your countless tasks and deadlines.
-
You are looking for a strategy to deal with challenging people.
-
You have difficulties coordinating your team.

Researcher
Coaching
The start of a research career is usually characterized by verve and enthusiasm. However, the initial enthusiasm often gives way to frustration and exhaustion as soon as the first experiments don't work out, articles are rejected and the long lab days feel lonely. Many young researchers want to pursue their own ideas, but are hindered by external factors.
Example topics:
-
You feel never or rarely successful at work.
-
You find it difficult to maintain your motivation for your research.
-
You are trying to manage the balancing act between teaching and research.
Professor
Coaching
As soon as researchers take on a professorship, it seems as if they have “made it”. However, working as a professor comes with new responsibilities for which young researchers have rarely been prepared. Without a supervisor, they suddenly become supervisors themselves and try to reconcile the needs of their team with the demands of research.
Example topics:
-
You want to structure and set up your new team.
-
You are supervising doctoral candidates and want to provide them with the best possible support.
-
You are looking for ways to represent your interests to your colleagues.
Academic Career
Coaching
Many young researchers are still unclear about where they want to go professionally: continue within their research group, move to another institute or take the plunge into the private sector? In addition, many framework conditions restrict the decision and researchers often have the feeling that they have to choose between their vocation, place of residence and family.
Example topics:
-
You are considering whether you should go abroad.
-
You are trying to balance research and family life.
-
You want to become self-employed in the business sector.
