Gestalt Therapy, Transpersonal Psychotherapy, Personal growth
"I support people through processes of change and I trust in what emerges when we stop trying to be someone else. Currently, I am particularly moved by the question of how a respectful and peaceful coexistence can truly be achieved."
"You're at a point in your life where you feel that things can't stay the way they are? Questions like "Who am I really?", "What is important to me?", or "Where do I want to go?" require courage – and sometimes support. I will accompany you on your journey of change. My approaches stem from Gestalt Therapy and Transpersonal Psychotherapy. Methodologically, I work with systemic constellations, biodynamic bodywork, and consistent confrontation. In addition to one-on-one guidance, I also lead groups at the psychosomatic Heiligenfeldklinik Waldmünchen and organize seminars in Southern Germany. I volunteer at the Network Recherche helpline, providing psychosocial telephone counseling."

ABOUT ME
I am Lea Semen, born in 1986. I hold a Bachelor's degree in Communication Studies, Media Psychology, and Journalism from the University of Passau and the University of Hamburg.
I completed my training as a Gestalt Therapist (IGE) in 2026. In April 2025, I completed my training in Holotropic Breathwork and Transpersonal Psychotherapy at the Institute for Consciousness Research in Wittnau under the guidance of Dr. Ingo Jahrsetz and Viktoria Luchetti.
Before beginning my therapeutic work at the psychosomatic clinic Heiligenfeld in Waldmünchen, I spent four and a half years as the editorial lead of Y-Kollektiv (funk, ARD/ZDF), where I was responsible for developing and overseeing journalistic content for an audience of millions.
As an author and documentary filmmaker, I have published a number of deeply personal documentaries, including I'll Let You Go (2023, Rabiat / ARD Mediathek), about the experience of losing one's parents; Young and Lonely (2025, Y-Kollektiv), a film exploring a feeling that many people know but few speak about; and Unintended Pregnancy (2023, Y-Kollektiv), a documentary about abortion.
Much of my journalistic work explores subjects that are often considered taboo, including loneliness, life, and death. It focuses on people in times of transition—the search for meaning, the experience of being, and the process of letting go. My work invites viewers to look closely, to be moved, and to reflect on their own experiences.
