A Companion in flexible Roles

My name is Patrick

Sometimes it’s about finding orientation and stability. Sometimes about an experience.
At other times, it’s about exchange, reflection, or learning together.
And sometimes it’s about making systems clearer, more coherent, and more future-ready.

I work as a coach, mentor, trainer, consultant, or in leadership roles. Since that changes with context, I simply call myself a Companion (Begleiter, in German).

    • The Meaning of Begleiter

    BEgleiter – Focus on BE

    BE – Presence
    Sometimes there’s no need for a program. Just someone who is present, attentive, and reliable.
    BE – Be, instead of Achieving
    I accompany as a human being. Open, uncomplicated, free of pressure to perform.
    BE – A good Space
    It can be enough to feel safe and at ease. I hold space for what matters and for what’s alive right now.
    BE – Permission
    To simply be; beyond judgment, obligation, or goals.
    BE – Contemplative Dimension
    Sometimes it’s good to pause, to speak about things for which there’s rarely time. Quiet moments, shared reflection, and the stillness that lets insight arise.

    How I work:

    • Presence & calm
    • Humanity before method
    • Systemic and systems thinking
    • Seeing patterns and dynamics
    • Structure in thought,
      openness in heart
    • Holding space instead of pushing
    • Acting with meaning
    • Resonance over control
    • Sense of responsibilities

    What to expect:

    • To be seen
    • Openness
    • Resonance
    • Authenticity
    • Compassion without pity
    • Clarity in working together
    • Questions instead of answers
    • Co-creativity
    • Time, stillness, depth
    • Space for you

    What I am not:

    • Quick fixed
    • Slogans or dogma
    • Method obsession
    • Rigid frameworks
    • Mere optimization
    • Furmulaic coaching
    • Abstract theory
    • One-size-fits-all
    • Standardized

    My Offerings

    If you’re looking for orientation by theme or method,
    the following overview may help.

    When Life falls apart

    Crisis · Separation · Loss

    Support in times when what once felt solid begins to crumble. Professionally, personally, or existentially.

    Trauma-aware, body-centered, steady, calm.
    Goal: to regain footing and orientation, becoming capable of action again, step by step.

    Methodologically grounded in Hakomi, Neurosystemic Integration, and Existential Coaching.

    When something New wants to take Shape

    Orientation · Renewal · Development · Integration

    For those who sense that the old no longer fits and the new has not yet taken form.

    Systemic-integrative, reflective, explorative, embodied.
    Goal: clarity, self-understanding, and mature decisions.

    Methodologically grounded in developmental psychology and integral frameworks, systems theory, and somatic practice.

    When Depth calls

    Inner depth · Spirituality · Meaning · Life phases

    A space for stillness, reflection, and awareness.

    beyond method or goal. Existential accompaniment through thresholds of life, growth, or consciousness.
    Goal: connection, trust, and presence in transition — sometimes with a goal, sometimes without one.

    Methodologically open.

    Systemic Clarity & Constellation Work

    Systemic interventions, structural constellations (IOSA)

    Clarity for themes, relationships, roles, patterns, and behavior within systems. Work in the field: making visible what is and what else there is. Releasing entanglements, restoring clarity within systems, and finding coherent next steps.

    Methodologically grounded in various structural constellation formats (IOSA), resonance-based methods, systemic interventions, and meta-reflection.

    Learning & Development

    Learning Systemic Thinking and Systems Thinking
    Experiencing the core principles of systems theory and systemic thinking in practice.
    Goal: seeing connections instead of fighting symptoms.

    Understanding Integral Perspectives
    Orientation in growth and awareness.
    Goal: developing a multidimensional view of self and others.

    Communication & Resonance
    Dialogue, presence, and language as pathways of learning.
    Goal: creating connection before misunderstanding arises.

    Developing Meta-Competence
    Understanding how learning itself works through reflection, experience, and embodiment.
    Goal: cultivating self-learning as an ongoing stance.

    Integrale Perspective
    Every form of accompaniment naturally unfolds within movements of development:

    Cleaning up – integrating shadows
    Growing up – maturing
    Waking up – becoming more conscious
    Opening up – accessing your deeper self
    Showing up – bringing yourself into the world

    What does truly matter?

    For me, it’s our shared humanity —
    and what can grow from it: connection, growth, impact, relationship.

    We don’t evolve through constant improvement,
    but through awareness.
    Not from the outside in,
    but from within.

    “Know yourself.”
