Psychological Counselling (Relationships, Mental Health) for Individuals and Couples in Vienna, Austria or Online
Psychologist in Vienna: Counselling for Relationship and Mental Health Concerns
I offer an nonjudgmental and confidential environment where people can share their experiences, feelings and thoughts, and we work together on solving their problems. The counselling method is generally based on a few approaches I am trained in, including cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT), eye movement desensitisation and reprocessing (EMDR), humanistic counselling and neuroscience of mental health. Depending on the case, I may or may not be influenced by any of those approaches. While offering help and guidance, my major goal is to help people make their own adjustments and decisions by means of our collaborative work. Another major goal is to help individuals gain the insights necessary for achieving a balanced state in the long term.

Each person’s concerns are highly subjective; therefore, the psychological support I provide is not standardised or manualised. Here is my article on the general concepts of psychological counselling, and here is another article that specifically covers the purposes and process of couples therapy or marriage counselling.
Just a heads-up, my articles may appear a bit lengthy and not super exciting. Thus, I’d be happy to give you the highlights and break down any concepts you’re interested in when we meet online or in person.
Counselling Versus Psychotherapy
In contrast to psychotherapy, counselling focuses more on the process of change or transformation. On the other hand, psychotherapy often centres on treating specific issues. Those may include depression, anxiety disorders, addictions, eating disorders and other medical conditions. The counselling process of gaining insights, becoming aware and changing is as important as the outcome of the counselling journey.
Online Counselling: Benefits and Challenges
Online counselling offers certain advantages. The main benefit is that you may attend a session from your preferred place without sacrificing time for commuting. It is also a solution for those who can not find a competent or suitable therapist or counsellor nearby. Yet, you should be comfortable using online technologies and have a secure and stable Internet connection.
Confidentiality and Security
The information shared with me is strictly confidential. I adhere to both Austrian and International legal and ethical norms and regulations for psychological counselling.
