Claudia studied Psychology at the Friedrich-Schiller-University of Jena/Germany and at the University of Leipzig/Germany. Her Focus subjects were educational and clinical psychology. In 2000 she completed her study of the Diploma Degree in Psychology. During her study of Psychology Claudia passed the undergraduate study in client-centred Psychotherapy, systemic Psychotherapy and Counselling. Claudia graduated with certificate for the relaxation method Autogeneous Training and Progressive Muscle Relaxation.
Claudia’s clients had a variety of disorders such as somatoform Pain Disorders, Somatisation Disorder, affective Disorders, Anxiety and Obsessive-Compulsive disorder, Eating disorders, Personality Disorders.
Together with a colleague Claudia developed a specific Treatment as Group Therapy for people with chronical pain discomfort, located in specific parts of the body using the method of Psychodrama. The aim of the Pain Disorder Treatment Program is to understand psycho-somatic interactions of the individual's problems. With the awareness of the interaction clients are able to reduce the pain discomfort and to learn strategies to cope with the pain. Due to the exchange with other participants clients don't feel alone anymore with their issues. The participation of this group setting enables client to regain control over their body and reduce the feelings of being restricted to the pain.
Over the last years Claudia dealt with the themes of mourning and loss more intensively. She realized that a lot of (German) families struggle to cope openly with such a situation. It is her aim to support families and especially children in their active coping of losses.
Besides her job in the clinic of psychotherapy and psychosomatic medicine Claudia has completed the 5-year Psychodrama Further Education (degree: Psychodrama Therapist).
The individual and the group settings Claudia is offering are based on psychodrama. Claudia uses also methods of depth psychology, systemic therapy and behavioural psychotherapy, depending on the client’s issues and situation.
Claudia is a registered Psychologist in Hong Kong and an Associate Fellow of the Hong Kong Psychological Society.
