Research
Katrin Micklitz is a researcher with a focus on mental health. She evaluates interventions and programs to understand how, and under what circumstances they are effective. Trained at the University of Oxford (UK) under the guidance of Geoff Wong and Jeremy Howick, she applies the principles of Scientific Realism to her work.
In her research, she examined the effectiveness of mindfulness programs for workplace stress. Since 2023, she has been involved in an international research project in collaboration with the University of Alberta (CA), investigating how cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) supports people with complex chronic illnesses.
“It’s not the programmes that lead to change but what people make of it.”
— Ray Pawson (Scientific Realism)

For almost 20 years, Katrin Micklitz has supported people in organizations in their development and collaboration. As a coach and consultant, her focus is on leadership development, team processes, and mental health in the workplace. She is trained in Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) and integrates the principles of mindfulness into her work.
Mindfulness enables a deep understanding of an individual’s thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Through greater awareness, individuals can break out of reactive cycles, enhancing not only their own well-being but also that of others.
