Dr. Hanna Milling

Mediator, Trainer, Lecturer

My Approach

My aim is to support others in resolving problems and conflicts themselves, in finding new perspectives and individual solutions.
I see crises as important processes which, when used creatively, can make way for positive change and growth.

My work is marked by a range of methodological techniques, professional knowledge, intercultural sensibility and a respectful curiosity towards all kinds of people, cultures and situations.

In training and teaching I always lay a lot of importance on the balance between a scientific-theoretical approach and relevant activity-orientated practice, between experience-based observations and critical reflection.
