Photo de M. WulfMariéle Wulf is professor of Moral theology/Christian ethics at Tilburg University in the Netherlands and runs a counselling practice in St. Gallen, Switzerland.

Claudia Mariéle Wulf’s work as a professor of moral theology is strongly connected to her ongoing experience in accompanying traumatized and physically or sexually abused persons.

Her counselling is based on the model of the soul as developed by Edith Stein. Edith Stein inspires a realistic and meaning-oriented insight into the concrete human being. Meaning or meaning-breaking is revealed in great fortune or trauma. Human beings are moral subjects who can fail and suffer from guilt and therefore need forgiving and redemption. Those theological notions will be studied in connection to the trauma of sexual abuse.
