Biography

“Human life is a gift which keeps on giving over the years” Claudia Weinspach

Claudia Weinspach is a psychologist and licenced psychological psychotherapist for behavioural therapy and hypnotherapy with her own practice in Münster. After training in various additional psychological areas (cognitive-behavioural, conversation and body therapy, as well as couples therapy), hypnosis is now the focus of her professional activity.

After several years of training in classical hypnosis and Ericksonian hypnotherapy at the German Society for Hypnosis (DGH) and at the Milton Erickson Foundation (MEF) in Phoenix, USA, as well as at the MEI in Melbourne, Australia, she is now offering coaching and treatment for mental illness. Claudia‘s therapeutic thinking and methods were shaped during her collaboration with the "Turtle Island Project" in Arizona through shamanic healing rituals (Dr. Carl Hammerschlag and Mona Polacca), as well as through her many years of theatre and voice work. She combines modern hypnotherapy with elements of indigenous shamanic traditions and music.

As head of the DGH Training- and Further Training Centre Rhein-Ruhr, she offers multi-faceted training in hypnosis and hypnotherapy. Furthermore, she lectures in hypnosis (DGH, MEG) and works as a supervisor (DGH, PTK NRW). Her clinic is also the teaching centre for the ZAP GmbH (Bad Salzuflen) and IPP (Bochum) institutes.
