I help my clients to understand, process and transform obstacles that prevent change.

In doing so, I pay attention to the complexity of the issue and take into account both the external context and the inner psychological and emotional experience of my clients.

Smart sorting and weighing up are just as much a part of my coaching practice as intensive sensing and experiencing.

My approach is based on modern psychodynamic and systems theory, cross-school techniques and Gestalt psychotherapy.

  • The ancient philosopher Heraclitus is credited with the sentence: “You cannot step into the same river twice.” This sentence can be understood as a metaphor for life, because as long as water flows through the river, it changes. Thinking further, one could say that change is the only constant in life.

    Problems and conflicts in life often occur when this natural process of change is inhibited, when the river cannot flow. I help my clients to understand and work through the blockages that prevent change. These blocks can also be described as unknown or unconscious patterns of behavior and emotions.

    As these patterns often arise in interpersonal relationship experiences, it is also necessary to work on a relationship level rather than a solution level. It is not a concept, but a careful and cautious approach to these patterns that is important, as it is not always immediately clear which way is really “good” or “bad”. Professional and private issues often occur together.

This is what my clients say about me.

  • I came to Calvin for coaching through a friend at a very sensitive time. His gentle and empathetic manner made me feel 100% at ease and enabled me to delve deep into my personal issues.

    Each time I was surprised at how quickly Calvin's methods enabled me to get to the heart of the matter and helped me to deal with difficult issues. I can only recommend Calvin's coaching to anyone.

  • A very warm-hearted and compassionate coach who also knows how to deal competently with very difficult issues. The main focus of my visits was help with changing jobs, and thanks to him I was able to resolve my fears and concerns and even managed to find a new job!

    He was also able to help me with a private crisis situation that suddenly arose. Appointments were always arranged very quickly by email, even at short notice. My recommendation! If there is a need, I will gladly come back to Mr. Bartel.

  • My full and heartfelt recommendation: Calvin supports me empathetically, professionally, flexibly and always with suitable methods that relate to both emotional and technical aspects.

    For me, Calvin is an absolute stroke of luck and I am grateful to have found him. In addition, the beautiful premises ensure that the collaboration takes place in a very pleasant atmosphere.

  • I attended Mr. Bartel's coaching sessions regularly for over a year from 2021 to 2022. During this time, I got to know him as a very professional, far-sighted person who can read between the lines.

    He recognized problems and let me reflect on them with the right questions. In this way, with his help, I was able to approach some things in my life differently and leave the coaching session with added value.

  • My focus in our work is primarily on my professional development. However, we don't stay on the surface, but dive deep into psychodynamic theory and practice.

    With his diverse experience and empathic nature, I have been able to courageously navigate my way through several job changes. He helped me to find myself and get to know myself better. 100% recommendation
