What Stip - Systemisch-transaktionsanalytisches Institut Mit Praxis does

STIP (Systemisch-Transaktionsanalytisches Institut mit Praxis) is a Munich-based sole proprietorship founded in 2003 by Oliver Watzal, operating as both a clinical practice and a professional training institute for systemic counseling, coaching, therapy, and supervision. The institute combines the systemic approach with Transactional Analysis (TA), hypnosystemic methods, and embodiment practices (Wingwave, PEP), and additionally uses LEGO SERIOUS PLAY methodology for organizational development workshops. Since founding, it has trained over 700 professionals across 42 training cohorts, with Oliver Watzal personally having conducted over 9,000 clinical sessions and counseled more than 1,500 client systems.

The product portfolio spans one-year in-person certifications (Systemische Beratung & Coaching for Junior Professionals at €3,400–€5,900; Systemische Beratung & Familientherapie at €2,200–€2,700), self-paced online courses via the STIP Online-Akademie (e-Kompakt at €1,800–€2,200 with optional add-on modules for family therapy and coaching at €400–€500 each), advanced specializations (Systemische Masterclass, Transaktionsanalyse Kompakt), and corporate inhouse workshops covering leadership development, team building, and psychohygiene. In-person delivery occurs in Munich and partner venues across Bavaria and Baden-Württemberg (Regensburg, Nuremberg, Augsburg, Tübingen, Stuttgart). Revenue derives from five streams: certification course fees, online course fees, corporate inhouse contracts, individual training packages, and direct clinical practice services.

The go-to-market is hybrid: direct enrollment via website and email for individual learners, contact-based custom proposals for corporate inhouse, and a Preferred Partner network (TA+, Carpe verba!, Institut für Beziehungsdynamik Berlin, Sprachraum) for cross-referrals with mutual 10% discounts. The institute holds recognition from DGSF, SG, DGTA, and DGsP professional associations, and Oliver Watzal serves as Training Director for certification programs at Freie Universität Berlin and Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg. Marketing relies on content (website blog), organic social (Facebook, LinkedIn), Google AdWords, Google Reviews/testimonials, and a quarterly email newsletter. The institute operates with 1–10 employees and has no disclosed revenue figures.
