Psychotherapy

Focus Areas

In my practice, I place great importance on addressing and treating a wide range of psychological challenges. Through person-centered psychotherapy, I offer an effective method to cope with a variety of mental health issues. Below is an overview of the main topics I specialize in. This list is not exhaustive; I am also open and accessible to other concerns and challenges that may not be listed here.

Individual Therapy

Individual therapy provides a personal and exclusive space where you and I, as your therapist, interact. This setting allows you to deeply reflect and work on individual issues. You have control over the topics, pace, and intensity of the therapy, creating an ideal environment for your self-experience and personal development. The focus is on developing your personality, enhancing your self-confidence through new ways of thinking and behavioral changes, and supporting you through challenging life stages.

Couples Therapy

In couples therapy, you, your partner, and I come together in a protected, common framework. This form of therapy is excellent for analyzing and improving relationship dynamics and structures. As a neutral mediator, I help you understand and respect the perspectives of both partners. Couple therapy provides support during relationship crises and helps to reestablish a harmonious coexistence.

Adolescent Therapy

Adolescence is often shaped by major changes at school, in the social environment, and in one’s inner experience. During this time, young people can be particularly vulnerable to emotional stress, which may show up in different ways. In adolescent therapy, I support teenagers aged 14 and above in recognising, understanding, and effectively coping with challenges at an early stage. The focus is on therapeutic conversation in a safe and confidential setting where thoughts, feelings, and difficulties can be openly discussed. Together, we work to better understand distress, develop new perspectives, and strengthen helpful strategies for everyday life. Depending on the topic, creative methods may also be used as a supportive addition. Trust and confidentiality form the foundation of our work. If helpful, parents or caregivers can be involved at certain points, by agreement.

Potential Topics in Adolescent Therapy:

Terms & Conditions

Confidentiality

As a psychotherapist, I am bound by Section 15 of the Austrian law for Psychotherapy to maintain absolute confidentiality regarding all information entrusted to me in the course of my professional practice. Rest assured that your data will be treated with the utmost confidentiality. The duty of confidentiality is only waived in cases of acute self-harm or harm to others.

Initial Consultation

In an initial consultation, we get to know each other and discuss your concerns, expectations, and the organisational framework of therapy. Together, we can clarify whether and in what form working together feels suitable.

Cancellation Policy

If you are unable to attend a scheduled appointment, please cancel at least 24 hours in advance. In the case of later cancellations or missed appointments, the session will be charged.

The frequency of sessions is agreed upon together and is based on your concerns, your current life situation, and your individual needs. Especially at the beginning of psychotherapy, weekly sessions can be helpful in establishing a stable therapeutic process. Depending on your needs, other arrangements are also possible.
