Marcel von der Heide

Marcel is a psychologist at OpenUp. During a session with him, you will quickly notice how his authenticity and calmness will help you to open up.

With him, you will feel empowered to solve the challenges in your life by yourself. To make that happen, he provides trust and the deep belief that whatever you currently face is also a potential for you to get to know yourself better and grow as a person.

To take care of his own mental health Marcel is following his passions and playing tennis. Once he starts playing, everything around him disappears and he submerges into the flow. As an alternative to sports, he is currently learning to play the piano, which calms him down as it does a walk through nature with his dog.

Marcel studied Health & Sports psychology in Heidelberg and Berlin and is currently studying to become a certified systemic coach and therapist. He worked with a multitude of elite Athletes, e.g. for the German Bundesliga Club 1.FC Union Berlin and also as an independent coach for the German Tennis Association (DTB).

His experience as a psychologist will help you gain an understanding of why things are the way they are and, at the same time, his background as a sports coach will empower you to take action towards your goals.

Marcel speaks both German and English.
