Dr. Leena Petersen

After several years of living, researching and teaching in mainly London and Jerusalem, I moved to Germany and graduated in Gestalt Therapy at the internationally recognised Hamburg Institute for Gestalt oriented Training (HIGW). I attended further training in Integrative Trauma Therapy at the Munich Institute for Trauma Therapy (MITT) and also in Gestalt Dance Therapy on the basis of Anna Halprin's life/art process (touching ground Berlin). I am training therapist and trainer at the HIGW and member of the editorial board of the German-speaking journal Gestalttherapie – Forum für Gestaltperspektiven . I offer Gestalt therapy and counseling for individuals, couples and groups in German and English, and bilingually (German-English) in the context of couples therapy. Next to my practice, I worked as gestalt therapist in social psychiatry for several years. As a trauma therapist, I offer my services also to the Network for Traumatised Refugees in Lower Saxony (NTFN), based in Lüneburg.
