English Psychotherapy in Vienna

Are you thoughtful and capable, yet still feel stuck, overwhelmed, or caught in patterns that don’t fully make sense? I offer psychotherapy in English in central Vienna, shaped by years of working closely with people in deep psychological processes. My work is calm, focused, and evidence-informed, supporting those who want to understand themselves more deeply and create lasting psychological change.

How I work

My work is engaged and depth-oriented. I am active in sessions and ask sometimes challenging questions, especially when something important seems to be happening beneath the surface. I might slow things down or suggest staying with an experience rather than moving on too quickly. We work not only with thoughts, but also with emotions, bodily responses, and patterns outside of conscious awareness, allowing difficulties to be felt, not just be talked about. I place great importance on safety, trust, and respect for your pace and boundaries. When appropriate, I may suggest methods such as EMDR, neurofeedback, or group therapy to support the process. Over time, this work leads to change: greater emotional stability, clarity, and more freedom in how you relate to yourself and to others.

Psychotherapy is all about Relationships

Most people come to therapy because they want better relationships. Whether with ourselves or with those around us, our mental health depends on our ability to relate. Improving this ability could mean processing painful experiences, building a secure attachment style, being able to calm down anxieties, feeling happier, or simply finding more emotional balance, motivation and meaning in life. 

I see therapy as a space where you can not only pause, reflect, and reconnect with yourself and others, but also discover practical tools for growth. My passion is to explore the inner world in ways that are both deep and useful, with the aim of supporting real, lasting change. 

Therapy isn’t about fixing what’s broken. It’s about helping you feel more whole, more alive, and more fully you.

"We are like islands in the sea, separate on the surface but connected in the deep."  
-William James

We all know people with whom it is best not to share anything that matters to us. If we have experienced something exciting, and if we tell it to those people, it will seem almost dull. If we have a secret, we will keep it safe from those people, safe inside us, untold. But, if you are lucky, you know one person with whom it is the other way around. If you tell that person something exciting, it becomes more exciting. A great story will expand, you will find yourself telling it in more detail, finding the richness of all the elements, more than when you only thought about it alone. Whatever matters to you, you save it until you can tell it to that person.

- Eugene Gendlin

Before you take the next step, pause and meet yourself where you are.
