Life coaching
Widespread in the USA for several years, life coaching is becoming more and more popular in Germany. The rapid development of our modern society has brought with it performance pressures and ever greater demands on the individual. To keep pace with these pressures, we need strength and flexibility in our thoughts and actions. There is therefore a growing need for individual support that helps us overcome hurdles on our path to success.
In particular, Managers and persons shouldering great responsibility derive huge benefits from the support of a life coach. However, this does not only apply to professional life - our personal life can also benefit from the support of a helpful advisor.
Life coaching takes place in individual sessions between client and coach, structured according to individual arrangement. In his role as Psychotherapist and Psychoanalyst, Dr. Rolf Hamberger has worked as a life coach for several years, and needless to say is subject to the strictest confidentiality.
