Catrin Schlegel
Catrin Schlegel studied psychology in Münster and obtained her licence to practise as a psychological psychotherapist at the Institute for Behavioural Therapy in Hamburg. Today, she is the head psychologist at the renowned Am Michel Back Centre in Hamburg. Before moving there 23 years ago, she worked in psychiatry at Eppendorf University Hospital. In 2010, she completed further training in the field of specialised pain psychotherapy. It is particularly important to Schlegel that she not only applies theories in her job, but also helps people in a practical way. As a working and single mother of two daughters, she knows how difficult it is to juggle work, everyday stress and her own expectations - and can therefore understand her patients' problems not only as a professional, but also as a person.
