We, Cécile Schain and Dieta Kuchenbrandt are academically qualified psychologists with additional coaching and consulting training, and worked as scientists for several years.
Thus, the roots and one of the main focuses of schainundkuchenbrandt lie in the work with scientists. Over the years, clients from the health and social services sectors as well as people in need of psychological counseling have increasingly turned to us, too, so we expanded our services accordingly. Through seminars, coaching and consulting, we help people to carry out their professions with satisfaction and to overcome life crises with strength.
Our company locations are in Leipzig and Düsseldorf.
Dr. Dieta Kuchenbrandt
Diploma in Psychology (equivalent to a Master’s degree)
I like self-determined work, a clear structure and having a defined goal in mind and am very passionate about providing as much support as possible for scientists in optimizing their career plans, applying for professorships or taking on new leadership positions such as leading a junior research group. At schainundkuchenbrandt, I offer seminars throughout Germany, Austria and Switzerland for universities, graduate schools, mentoring programs, non-university research institutions and other institutions. I also work with scientists in individual consultations and coachings.

Dr. Cécile Schain
Diploma in Psychology (equivalent to a Master’s degree)
I like planful action, space for creativity and the moments of surprise along people’s personal path of development. Against the backdrop of my own many years of professional experience both in academia and in the health and social services sectors, I am familiar with the challenges specific to each profession. The professionals and executives I accompany at schainundkuchenbrandt come from these fields accordingly. But I am just as happy when people from other professional fields want to be supported by me. My key topics are strengthening self-esteem, stress management, communication, dealing with conflicts, leadership and occupational reorientation.
I work from our location in Düsseldorf.
