Psychotherapy
Why Psychotherapy?
Psychotherapy serves as a cornerstone in mental health care, addressing a spectrum of concerns from acute illnesses to navigating life's complexities. Today, its role extends beyond treatment, increasingly valued as a proactive measure for maintaining well-being during difficult periods.
My clients are usually dealing with one (or several) of the following issues:
- Mental health challenges such as depression, anxiety, OCPD and further consequences of attachment trauma.
- Recent life challenges, including job loss, transitions between university and work, the grief of people or careers, breakups and/or migration, often resulting in adjustment disorders.
- Navigating relationship struggles, whether in couples therapy or to gain clarity and resolve conflicts individually.
Person-centered psychotherapy
... is a humanistic approach, developed by Carl Rogers (1902-1987). It assumes that the person has an inherent tendency to develop and grow when they are accepted and understood fully. That's why the therapist does not give directions but tries to connect with the client on a deeper level. The soon the client is conscious of their behaviour, they can make choices about their behaviour and life directions.
“People are just as wonderful as sunsets if you let them be. When I look at a sunset, I don't find myself saying, "Soften the orange a bit on the right-hand corner." I don't try to control a sunset. I watch with awe as it unfolds.”
Carl R. Rogers, A Way of Being

Psychotherapy and Cost Reimbursement
In the case of mental health issues, health insurance partially funds psychotherapy.
Currently, the reimbursement amount per session is
- ÖGK € 33.70
- BVAEB € 48.80
- SVS € 45
During the initial session, the necessary steps for reimbursement will be discussed.
I do not have any available slots for fully reimbursed positions through health insurance or concessions.
However, some private health insurance companies (including those from abroad) fully cover the costs.
If you have international health insurance, please check with your insurance office individually.
