She received accreditation as a Senior Coach from the German Association of Coaching (Deutscher Deutscher Bundesverband Coaching - DBVC) in 2008.[4][5] She received her doctorate from the Martin Luther University of Halle-Wittenberg in Psychoanalytical Pedagogy and Group dynamics.[6][7]
West-Leuer was a member of the university council in Germany at Westphalian University (Westfälische Hochschule) from 2012 to 2017 based in Gelsenkirchen, Bocholt and Recklinghausen.[8]
She is currently a lecturer at the Heinrich Heine University Düsseldorf and the International Psychoanalytic University Berlin and has her own consulting practice in Neuss. She is a founding member and Chairwoman of the "Psychodynamic Organizational Development + Personnel Management Düsseldorf" organization, abbreviated locally to POP (Psychodynamische Organisationsentwicklung + Personalmanagement Düsseldorf“).[9] She is a member of the board of the "Academy of Psychoanalysis and Psychodynamics Düsseldorf" (Akademie für Psychoanalyse und Psychodynamik Düsseldorf) in cooperation with the University of Düsseldorf.[10]
As Deputy Chairwoman of the Academy of Psychoanalysis and Psychodynamics Düsseldorf, she sometimes hosts the event "Psychoanalysis and Film" (Psychoanalyse und Film), which takes place monthly at the Black Box arthouse cinema situated in the Düsseldorf Filmmuseum.[11][12][13][14]

She also supports film projects of young directors, such as the creation of the film Tomo by Florian Heinzen-Ziob about a humanoid robot.[16][20]
Research
[edit]West-Leuer's research concentrates on the topic of psychoanalysis and its applications. Her main focus is on qualitative projects for researching leadership styles and psychodynamic counselling in contrast to other counselling concepts and therapies. She is also active in documentary research within the scope of film analysis[16] using modern day films as objectivations to understand the psyche of their authors and as testimonies and sources which explain human behaviour.[21][22]
West-Leuer speaks regularly in German and English on a variety of psychoanalytical topics.[23] She has presented her scientifically based concept of psychodynamic counseling internationally.[24][25][26][27]
