Timm Opitz

Freelance Counselor for Cross-Cultural Onboarding

I support international professionals successfully settle in Germany – culturally, professionally and personally. My goal is to empower people to feel confident and capable, unlock their full potential, and support companies in retaining global talent for the long term.

My Story & Intercultural Experience

I spent my childhood for five years in the Yemeni capital, Sanaa. Since then, I have traveled to over 30 countries and lived for more than a year in Latin America (Peru, Bolivia, Chile). Most recently, I have spent regular periods in Spain and the UK while conducting my ongoing PhD research in Human Geography.

These experiences have not only given me a love for Arabic cuisine, British humor, and Latin American dance, but, more importantly, they have taught me to flow effortlessly between cultures – both in language and in everyday life.

Education & Qualifications

✔ Bachelor of Arts: Social Work (2014)
✔ Master of Arts: Counseling and Social Law (2018)
✔ Advanced training as a Systemic Coach (2020)
✔ Scholarship support for B.A., M.A., and PhD from the Hans-Böckler-Foundation
✔ Member of the Professional Association for Counseling, Pedagogy & Psychotherapy e.V. (BVPPT)

This combination of legal knowledge, coaching expertise, and intercultural experience allows me to understand both the individual needs of people and the requirements of companies, creating tailored solutions for you.

Professional & Volunteer Experience

✔ Several years of experience in settlement counseling for refugee youth and adults

✔ Supporting international professionals and teams in onboarding, integration, and intercultural collaboration

✔ Practical expertise in navigating bureaucracy, everyday matters, and professional guidance for people in transitional phases

My Approach

I combine professional expertise, intercultural knowledge, and practical guidance.

My approach is solution-oriented, empathetic, and directly actionable: whether individual coaching or team workshops – I help people overcome everyday hurdles and arrive in their new environment productively and confidently.
