Here are in the process of personal development over many years citizens of all continents.

Some facts about my life:

In my Spanish passport I appear as Enrique Orive Asensio, as I was born in 1960, grew up and spent the first two decades of my life in Spain in a wonderful family with parents and siblings.

When I finished high school and went to university, driven by an internationalist and modern nature, between 1980 and 1994 I lived in various countries working, meditating, studying and doing a lot of sports (Spain, France, England, Ireland, Scotland, Germany, Italy, India). In those years, I studied four European languages, learned martial arts, relaxation techniques, concentration and meditation, yoga, conducted a field study on alternative forms of community life and the phenomena of group dynamics. It was a nomadic phase.

I'm a guy who needs effective functionality and structure. I love that a process leads to a desired effect and I think I discovered that this was possible for me in Germany, which I had gotten to know thoroughly, so I ended up settling permanently in Germany in 1994, where I successfully integrated, got my second nationality, I married Sigrid Molineus and officially adopted my German given name and my wife's marital surname. My name is also Egon Molineus. I have both nationalities, although I would rather have a UN passport and spend more time in Thailand and California.

In my traveling international youth, always parallel to my various studies, I gathered professional experiences as a fruit picker, woodcutter, cook, assistant in organic farms, tour guide, sociocultural animator, monitor of international youth groups, qualified teacher of German, Spanish and English, translator and interpreter and facilitator of personal and group communication.

Upon reaching psychological maturity and past youth, I became a University Graduate in Clinical Psychology ("Diplompsychologe").

Once I graduated as a psychologist, I did the state postgraduate training as a Psychotherapist in Bavaria (Psychologischer Psychotherapeut). This consists of 5,000 hours over five years of study and supervised work as a psychotherapist in psychiatric wards in hospitals (Psychotherapeut in Ausbildung), in public outpatient clinics and in private outpatient psychotherapeutic consultations and in a psychological rehabilitation center.

After completing the training in Psychotherapy, I passed the State examination before the Bavarian Government (in Germany "Approval") as a Specialist in Cognitive Behavioral Psychotherapy ("Psychologischer Psychotherapeut Verhaltenstherapie"), a title that gave me the right to practice the profession autonomously. Psychotherapist in my own offices.

I was registered in the Hamburg Medical Register ("Arztregister der Kassenärztlichen Vereinigung") under number 02/71244 and upon founding my Hamburg practice at the Hamburg Chamber of Psychotherapists ("Psychotherapeutenkammer Hamburg") under number 11838 and subsequently upon founding my second practice in Hohwacht (near Denmark) at the Schleswig-Holstein Chamber of Psychotherapists under number 3079.

During my years of professional life as a psychotherapist, I did a three-year Master's Degree in Clinical Hypnosis (Klinische Hypnose) at the Milton Erickson Society, a training that allows me to use induction and suggestion techniques applicable in cognitive-behavioral treatment, both in an active state of wakefulness as well as in a state of relaxation.

Also, during my years as a therapist, I completed a two-year Master's Degree in Psychotraumatology (Psychotraumatologie), which facilitates therapeutic work with normal people who have suffered a life experience that exceeded their usual coping mechanisms, that is, psychological trauma.

And I also did a one-year master's degree in corporate health management as a clinical organizational psychologist, so I'm a specialist in stress prevention in corporate work environments.

Building on that last training, I trained as a Systemic Coach, in order to be able to better help my motivated clients in achieving professional and personal goals within the framework of an organization in a psychosocial system.

And later, already with many years of experience as a cognitive behavioral therapist, I trained for two years in depth, dynamic and psychoanalytic psychology (Tiefenpsychologischfundierte Psychotherapie).

I have been working for twenty years in Cognitive Behavioral Psychotherapy (Verhaltenstherapie), Counseling (Beratung) and Coaching in Spanish, German and English in my formidable practice in the Altona Ottensen neighborhood in Hamburg, from whose windows you can see almost all the city...which helps me relax while I work with my individual patients and my therapy groups and self-experience and personal growth.

And additionally, I practice in my other rural practice on the Baltic Sea coast in Hohwacht Plön Schleswig-Holstein, in a paradise with miles of beaches and beautiful nature reserves, full of forests, lakes and hills..., where I additionally carry out intensive weekly programs of psychotherapy, counseling, personal and couple growth.

I also offer my services of psychological help by encrypted video-conference to English-speakers.

In my spare time I do DIY, I build mechanisms and systems, I make firewood with my axes and saws in my forest for the chimneys of my house or I walk through valleys and trails, I snorkel in the islands of Southeast Asia or I travel to regions of the planet that they inspire other ways of understanding and growing.

I am a member of the Hamburg Chamber of Psychotherapists, the Schleswig-Holstein Chamber of the Professional Association of German Psychologists BDP (Berufsverband Deutscher Psychologinnen und Psychologen) and the German Federation of Psychotherapists DPTV (Deutscher Psychotherapeutenverband).

If you want to change any skewed thoughts and behavior patterns in order to heal a psychic or psychosomatic disorder, you can get professional effective help from cognitive-behavioral psychotherapy.

If you desire to improve your personal and social skills and goals and overcome challenges in your career and private life, you might profit from coaching and counseling.

You may need a professional counselor in order to change your behavior and cope efficiently with stressful situations and emotional feelings. You may aim to feel more confident and develop better understanding and social and communication skills in order to enhance your relationships. You may need guidance on a conflict resolution or solving a problem.

Coaching may help you to find confidence, practice new behaviors or improve effectiveness in leading staff, structuring processes and achieving tasks in your workplace.  Along the process you may search for your core strengths, cope with increasing demands or find a balance between work and private life.

Common denominators in my expertise:
In all these three areas (psychotherapy, counseling and coaching) you are entering with me a creative, discovering process in order to actively broaden your own potential and outlook. Therefore you must be ready to make real changes. First, alternative perspectives and solutions are to be created; you are to think different and to break patterns. Thought-provoking strategies will inspire. Problem-solving skills are engaged. Goals will be set and strategies will be tailor-made in order to create outcomes. You will be encouraged to make important decisions and to implement them actively and immediately and assuming full responsibility. By means of directive and non-directive strategies you will be fostered in your self-awareness and in the awareness of other people. Along this process you will be challenged to regulate your emotional reactivity and to trust your feelings and your intuition.
