Before deciding to pursue work with people full time, I worked for several years at universities in Hungary, Germany and most recently in Switzerland, where I have taught more than a dozen self-designed courses on various subjects in the history of ideas, focussing on philosophy, psychology, religion and medicine. Today I carry my experiences from my years of research and teaching and the knowledge and sensitivities that I have developed along the way with me in my work with people, where they help me access and empathise with the plethora of different ways that we experience and interpret our lives.
