Psychotherapy

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 goal is always to help you free yourself from suffering or at least experience relief from your suffering. In an atmosphere of trust, thoughts should be formulated, feelings expressed, and physical aspects understood. It is important to me to be close to your experience so that you feel accompanied, perceived, and seen.

When can psychotherapy help me?

  1. 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.
  2. 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.

How is the treatment financed?

Meine psychotherapeutische Praxis führe ich als reine Kassenpraxis. Hierzu bin ich Vertragspartner des „Vereins für ambulante Psychotherapie“ (www.vap.or.atwhich has itself signed contracts with the health insurance companies

The prerequisite is that you bring a confirmation from your family doctor of the necessity of psychotherapy (§135 ASVG examination) to the second session and that, in my opinion, you are suffering from a condition that requires treatment or a disorder that qualifies as an illness.

The setting differs between:

  • Individual psychotherapy (50 minutes weekly to fortnightly) at my practice at Dunantgasse 15/15/3, 1210 Vienna
  • Group psychotherapy (180 minutes every 14 days) at WienZimmer near the practice www.wienzimmer.fsw.at
  • Group psychotherapy (90 minutes weekly) at the psychotherapeutic outpatient clinic in 1030 Vienna, www.pt-ambulanz.at

There is no guarantee of a treatment place after the initial consultation!

Which age groups do you work with?

In principle, I work with people of any gender from the age of 16 with no upper age limit.

Is there any literature on the topic of mental health?

Ich empfehle die aktuelle (09-2025) Broschüre des Fond Gesundes Österreich (FGÖ), welche Sie hier lesen können!
