Dr Niels Viggo Hansen
ph.d., cand.mag.
Dr Niels Viggo Hansen (ph.d., cand.mag): I currently have two main interests and areas of work. The first is as a researcher in the field of consciousness studies. In my doctoral research, which I completed in 2018, I used phenomenological and first-person methods to investigate the experience of thinking. This work is ongoing. My second area of interest is education, and particularly adult education. I completed a Master’s degree in educational action research in 2012, and have since been developing, leading and delivering post-graduate level trainings for teachers. This has been mainly through Crossfields Institute, which is an education and accreditation institute based in the UK. I moved to Denmark in 2020 and now work for Crossfields Europa, which is Crossfields Institute’s EU arm.

My academic profile has been that of university-based practitioner. I have acquired professional competences within a broad range of psycho-social helping roles: psychotherapist, supervisor, coach, process consultant, professional trainer.
