My personal and professional journey

My Professional Journey

Birgit Baumann Portrait

Psychology Meets Creativity

Studies of Psychology at Ruhr University Bochum, qualification as a licensed psychotherapist (Heilpraktiker für Psychotherapie), certified psychological counselor, and licensed personality diagnostics according to Julius Kuhl's PSI model form the solid foundation of my work.

This profile is complemented by my many years of experience in psychiatric facilities, psychological counseling centers, teaching, and pedagogy.

Alongside this stands an intensive artistic career: as a director (including at prinz-regent-theater, Bochum), stage manager at Starlight Express Bochum, assistant director and director at Schauspielhaus Bochum (including with Leander Haußmann and Jürgen Kruse).

Psychological expertise, artistic practice, and pedagogical competence combine here into a holistic approach that equally promotes personal development and creative expression.

International Experience

As a pioneer in complementary therapy, I opened the first practice for energy work and psychological counseling at the Red Sea in 2002. In 2006, I founded the region's first coaching agency for business consulting and mental training. At the established Nun Center in Cairo, I was part of an international team of therapists in what remains Egypt's only holistic therapy center to this day.

I brought my pedagogical expertise to the German School Hurghada as head art teacher, where I developed the school's art profile. Additionally, as an educational counselor, I designed a comprehensive support system for learners, parents, and educators in an intercultural environment.

Alongside this work, I was active as a freelance artist and exhibited my works at various exhibitions in Egypt – driven by the desire to enter into creative dialogue with my surroundings.

Leadership Experience

As head of HR and organizational development in a medium-sized company, I look back on strategic and operational leadership expertise that led me to an international company as a global executive trainer and coach.
