Christian Schneider, MA, BA

Psychotherapist existential analysis, psychotrauma therapist (EAPTT), coach

After studying business administration and advising companies, Christian increasingly focused on the deeper questions of life management. Starting with training in systemic coaching, his professional orientation also led him into the social sector. Following a management position at Caritas and a stay abroad in Italy, he trained as a psychotherapist in logotherapy and existential analysis. Existential analysis counseling and psychotherapy focus on the individual with their strengths and goals. It is important to Christian to help people to broaden their view of their life path and to open up new possibilities for them.
One focus is therapeutic work with people suffering from the consequences of traumatic experiences and difficult life situations.
Christian also works in his own practice and for Hemayat, a psychotherapy center for refugees.
