Bodynamic Therapist | Body-Oriented Psychotherapy Specialist

After beginning his professional career as a banker, Wolfgang was introduced to movement arts and body-oriented psychotherapy. These fields have remained his primary areas of focus for over 30 years. In 2000, he obtained his license as a state-certified mental health professional (HPG), enabling him to practice psychotherapy.

After working for seven years in a clinic specializing in psychotherapy and psychosomatic medicine, he established his own body-oriented psychotherapy practice in Dresden, Germany. During this period, he also worked as a trainer in the field of body-oriented psychotherapy.

Wolfgang has extensive experience in humanistic psychotherapy and has received training in NLP, Qigong, Feldenkrais®, and Somatic Experiencing®. His introduction to Bodynamic in 2012 enabled him to integrate all these long-standing interests into a cohesive and comprehensive approach that had not previously been possible. He has been practicing as a Bodynamic therapist since 2017.
