Humanistic psychotherapy
with a psychodramatic focus and integrated clinical-psychological knowledge
I offer you my professional support in the context of psychotherapy. The basis is an initial consultation in which I gain diagnostic impressions in order to specifically address you and your problem situation as the therapy progresses. The initial consultation should also help you to decide whether it is right for you.
The aim is always to help you to free yourself from suffering or at least to experience relief from your suffering. In an atmosphere of trust, thoughts should be formulated, feelings expressed and physical issues understood. It is important to me to understand you and to be close to your experience so that you feel accompanied, perceived and seen.
When can psychotherapy help me?
- Psychotherapy is generally helpful in cases of mental illness. These can include depression, anxiety, suicidal thoughts or intentions, experiences of loss and death, addictions, schizophrenic disorders, persistent relationship problems (personality disorder), manic states, compulsions in thoughts or actions, post-traumatic stress, suffering from the consequences of a physical illness, sleep disorders, eating disorders or disorders in sexual preference or sexual desire such as potency, to name just a few of the classic definitions.
- Psychotherapy also helps the maturation and development of the personality without the presence of a rigid disease pattern. Within the framework of psychotherapeutic treatment, one can understand relationship patterns, develop in dealing with oneself and others, work on achieving personal goals or simply find stabilization and relief.
What are the dangers or risks of psychotherapeutic treatment?
Every personal development, and this inevitably takes place in successful psychotherapy, also causes changes in how you see yourself and the (social) world around you. This can lead to crisis-like disturbances, including in one's living environment. In addition, awareness of one's own existence and consciousness is generally increased. This can lead to increased self-centredness and increased ability to reflect.
What options are there to get the treatment paid for by the health insurance company?
The prerequisite for partially or fully financed support from the health insurance fund is that you bring a GP's confirmation of the need for psychotherapy (§135 ASVG examination) to the second session.
Partly financed refunds you:
- the ÖGK reimburses €33.70 per session
