ADVICE
“You can't go back and change the beginning,
but you can start where you are
and change the ending.“ (C.S. Lewis)
Sometimes you lose your balance or get stuck in a stressful situation – for example, after major life events, or during professional, family, or relationship crises. You might feel like you're on the verge of burnout, or suffer from anxiety, compulsions, depression, insomnia, or other symptoms.
In my practice for psychotherapy, coaching, and counseling, you can pause, reflect, and recharge—or discover how relief and change can come about for you. I support adults, adolescents, children from the age of 6, as well as families and couples/relationships on this path.
PSYCHOTHERAPY IN ENGLISH
PSYCHOTHERAPY IN 1180 VIENNA
In psychotherapy, we can explore together whatever is currently on your mind, be it a desire for relief, an explanation of existing patterns, or other topics such as:
✓ Depression, burnout ✓ Anxiety, panic
✓ Life and identity crises ✓ Aging
✓ Relationships and sexuality ✓ Parenthood
✓ Relationship and family conflicts ✓ Separations
✓ Job stress ✓ Psychosomatic
✓ Grief and loss ✓ Trauma experiences
Psychotherapy with me can help you, To bring clarity to inner chaos, to reveal new paths, and to strengthen unconscious resources. You can experience how liberating it can be to feel heard – and how dialogue can lead to new perspectives and small but important steps in the desired direction.
COUPLES & RELATIONSSHIP THERAPY 1180 VIENNA
As a couple or in a non-dyadic relationship, you change over time, and other stressors can also affect your relationship. This often creates dynamics that can negatively impact your relationship satisfaction, such as constant arguments, unresolved conflicts (for example, regarding role division), or a lack of intimacy.
In the hypnosystemic couples and relationship therapy I offer, everyone has a voice and can express their disappointments and desires. You can gain new perspectives on your relationship and establish new ways of interacting with each other. A future vision can be developed for you in a structured way and with mutual respect.
FAMILY THERAPY IN 1180 VIENNA
Families are in constant transition; children and adults grow older, separations take place, and new family structures emerge. Relationships, as well as the roles that each person – often unconsciously – takes on within the family, change over the years. Generational conflicts, parenting issues, difficulties in everyday family life, can result from this. Often, the birth of a child, its autonomy development, or divorce, the loss of a family member, necessitate adjustments that families cannot manage on their own.
In family therapy, I offer you a space where the needs and perspectives of all family members are actively fostered and you can effectively work on coping with your current challenges. I support you in clarifying roles and individual boundaries of your family members, as well as in decoding the current communication and conflict patterns. Based on this, the emotional bonds within the family and the mutual support for the personal development of each individual can be strengthened.
