About me
Hellmut Blumenthal
Hellmut Blumenthal
Empathetic Life Coach
Where do I come from?
- Although this may sound somewhat mundane: I have always been interested in human interaction and the human psyche.
- However, my biography and background initially led me to take a different path: via an banking apprenticeship (throughout which I had to wave goodbye to my illusion of supporting people rather than selling them products), my affinity for the English language led me to a university course in translation studies.
- During a three-and-a-half-year stay in the UK I entered the media world, working in youth and sports journalism, followed by a return to Germany.
- Having arrived in the second half of my life, I have been increasingly returning to my original passion: interest in the human psyche and communication.
What am I passionate about?
- As a trained Samaritan and coach in Hamburg, I like to ask about the why, the what, the where and the how of my clients:
- Why does the person think and act the way they do?
- What spurs them on, what are their beliefs?
- Where in their biography did their beliefs come about?
- How would it feel to be standing in their shoes?
- My goal is to give people room and time for their issues, emotions and needs, to offer them a non-judgmental view of their situation and to meet them where they are right now.
What do I want to contribute to?
- My wish for my clients is that they develop an additional amount of self-empathy, emotional freedom and responsibility for their own feelings.
