Description
I live and work in Germany since 2014 and have three children with my wife, who is from China. In 2023, I founded the “Balance” practice for naturopathic psychotherapy and hypnotherapy, in Osnabrück, Germany. After working some years as an EFL English Teacher I was inspired to take the Masters level course “Adult Learning and Global Change” through Linköping University (in Sweden) in collaboration with the University of British Columbia, University of the Western Cape and Monash University, from 2010 to 2012. etween 01.2019- 10.2019 I attended the exam preparation course to become a naturopathic healer for psychotherapy in the Heilpraktische Gemeinschaftspraxis Linde.
After that, in 2020, I completed an introductory course in Client-Centered Therapy and the Person-Centered Approach according to Carl Rogers, followed by the English language 200 hour “Basic Consultant for Positive and Transcultural Psychotherapy” course, with certificate of attendance dated April 19, 2021. The permission for the professional practice of naturopathic medicine limited to the field of psychotherapy was granted to me on May 25, 2022, by the city of Osnabrück, Germany. Finally, I completed the German language “Consultant and Life Coach of Positive and Transcultural Psychotherapy” course, with another 200 hours, with the certificate of attendance dated April 1, 2023. Also in 2023 I completed the Extensive Training in the application of the Wiesbaden Inventory for Positive Psychotherapy and Family Therapy (WIPPF). On February 04th, 2024, I completed the 22 hour Fundamentals of Classical Hypnosis training in Holistically Oriented hypnosis (HOH) at the Hypnose-Akademie Dohmann in Germany.
I am, of course, committed to continuing the advance of my skills and knowledge through annual seminars and further trainings in various aspects of Positive Psychotherapy and other psychotherapeutic practices and methods. Although based in Germany I also provide psychotherapy online internationally via platforms like Zoom, Skype, Telegram, WhatsApp, etc.
My hobbies are Chinese Qigong (chi gung), parapsychology, interfaith studies, shamanism, adult learning, meditation, hiking and Aikido.
