I’m a Psychoanalyst, Sex Therapist (i.A.u.S.), and Life Coach, bringing over seven years of diverse professional experience to the table. Recognized and accredited by the Federal Ministry of the Republic of Austria for Social Affairs, Health, Care, and Consumer Protection (BMASGK - Gesundheit), I’m also a member of the Austrian Federal Association for Psychotherapy (ÖBVP) and the Psychoanalytisches Seminar Innsbruck (PSI). Fluent in Slovenian, Serbo-Croatian, English, and Spanish, I work with clients from various backgrounds.

I am a psychologist and licensed counsellor providing individual counselling and couples therapy (marriage counselling) in Vienna and online. My approach is based on CBT for depression, anxiety, self-esteem and relationship problems; EMDR for trauma; family therapy; stress management; performance coaching; neuroscience of mental health. I am trained in these approaches in Austria and the UK, and I have years of experience working in a psychiatry-psychology clinic and my counselling centre. I hold an MSc in Psychology & Mental Health from King's College London, added by a master's study at the University of Vienna (ICHP)

If you compleately lost hope that things can get better, please do not hesitate to contact me. You can book a session on www.ifsholland.com. If you tried for so many years uncessfully and you do not have power to continue anymore this way, maybe it is time for a compleate change. IFS is offering this change. I understand if you are very much affraid but healing is possible and I am seeing it happening all the time. It is not necessarily to be difficult. IFS is modality that is non invasive, very friendly that give fast results.

I would describe my methods as eclectic psychotherapy in the sense that I draw from more than one theoretical approach, using multiple sets of techniques to help with my clients’ individual needs.

Together we will develop new prospects and alternative courses of action for your life. In order to implement these strategies we will rely on proven methods of modern cognitive behavioral therapy. To dare is to lose one’s footing momentarily. Not to dare is to lose oneself.

I’m a relationship counsellor - working with attachment trauma. Benefiting from relationship counselling doesn’t necessarily mean you have an issue with a particular person. More often than not it means you are feeling lonely and would love to have deeper relationships. Maybe you went through a bad breakup or you tend to lose yourself in relationships – that means you could even be in a relationship and still feel lonely and disconnected. Maybe you “have never been in a relationship” and really have no clue how that could ever work out – you feel like you are just not “lovable”.

I will help you to cope with the difficulties that prevent you from living in harmony with yourself. If you are lonely, anxious, worried about problems at work or in the family, If you are having trouble dealing with your emotions or traumatic experiences, if you are struggling to manage dramatic changes in your life - let's work on it.

As a (native German) lecturer in Psychology for the University of Westminster in London and other UK universities, I relocated to Vienna in August 2012 to pursue training as Clinical & Health Psychologist and became Chartered Clinical & Health Psychologist in November 2013. My training took place at the reputed “Psychosomatic Centre Waldviertel”, Eggenburg. In my own practice I specialize on the treatment of depression, anxiety, psychosomatic stress-related complaints and alcohol abuse. As chartered Clinical and Health Psychologists I work with individual adolescents and adults, also providing Couples Counseling.

Psychoanalytically oriented psychotherapy is a way to examine life and to get a glimpse of the unconscious fundamentals of our being. With this method, unconscious patterns can be discovered and worked through. For example, past experiences can be integrated to improve psychological well-being, the quality of interpersonal relationships, and the sense of self. In many cases, the changes achieved through therapy are subtle; they flow almost unnoticed into everyday life. However, in my eyes, psychoanalytical therapy also carries the chance of radical breaks that could be described as existential shifts.

As an experienced psychotherapist trained in the UK and Austria, I provide a confidential and safe space to support you through anxiety, depression, symptoms of trauma and relational challenges. I regularly undertake trainings in the latest, evidence-based psychotherapeutic approaches: 'Sensorimotor Psychotherapy' - a talking body therapy for the treatment of shock and attachment trauma, 'Internal Family Systems': evidence-based and fastest growing Therapy method in the English speaking world that conceives every person as a system of protective and wounded inner parts led by a core Self. IFS helps healing these wounded parts.

Owning degrees in both economics and psychotherapy science has sparked my wish to work with people who are functional individuals, but who, at one point in their lives, started to lose motivation and energy, who are overwhelmed by daily hassles, and lost their focus in life. It is my honor to use my experience and knowledge to support individuals and couples (especially bicultural) in managing different types of stresses in their lives.

I will help you to cope with stressful life events including bad/swinging mood or depressive state, anxiety and worrying, difficult or broken relationship, too high load in job or studies and issues with personal performance; to resolve life difficulties in general and find solutions to various existential questions.

I believe there are hidden reasons and meanings in the ways we think, behave, and feel. Additionally, I believe that the way every person thinks and acts is very specific to them. Therefore, when someone comes seeking therapy, treatment is not about correcting thoughts and behaviours, but rather about understanding them to discover the person’s individual truth. The aim of our sessions together will be to provide you the space to find what links your thoughts, behaviours, and attitudes together.

You have been depressed for some time, feel burned out or exhausted, are plagued by fears of whatever kind, have sleeping problems, suicidal thoughts, obsessive compulsions, an eating disorder, are psychosomatically ill, have an addiction problem, are in a professional or private crisis, have long struggled with a life problem that does not want to change or you have a serious illness and need support. At times, it is necessary to face these challenges from a psychological perspective. I can offer you the opportunity to discover what the problem is and what contribution psychotherapeutic work can do in helping you.

If you feel like something's blocking you or holding you back from really enjoying life and finding happiness, I'd love to help. What I'm passionate about is helping people get back in touch with themselves, see their own worth, and find their inner strength. I take a holistic approach with a range of methods varying from psychodynamics to embodiment work. I enjoy working with people from all different backgrounds. I also offer a free introductory call where we can discuss your situation and see whether there is a good fit for us to work together.

Psychotherapy offers a confidential, protected framework to work through stressful life events and gain insight into your own personality. The aim of the treatment is to break down impairing thinking, feeling and behavior patterns and to expand existing resources.

It is important to me that I am therapeutically as broadly positioned as possible and can fall back on training that is "state of the art" and internationally recognized and effective. We humans are as different as we can be. What is good and helpful for one, may not help another. With me, you have an experienced therapist at your side. If you are looking for rapid, sustainable results and short-time therapy we could be a great match.
