Finding a therapist in Austria who works in English with real clinical depth takes real effort. Vienna has more options than other cities, but the pool is still small, the waits are often long, and the German-language mental health system isn't designed for the kind of sustained, exploratory work many English speakers are looking for.
I work with anyone who needs support in English and is living in Austria. Relationship difficulties, a low you can't quite name, something you've been managing for a long time, something that's just surfaced.
The work
The work I do is relational and pattern-focused. I don't run through intake checklists or assign exercises between sessions. I pay attention to what happens in the room: what you're saying, what you're not saying, the moments when something shifts or goes flat or speeds up. That's the material we work with.
Most people arrive already knowing the story of their situation. They've told it to themselves a hundred times and always land in the same place. What's missing is a different angle, someone watching in real time who can name what's invisible from inside it. That's what I offer. Not interpretation from a distance, but attention in the room, offered as it happens.
I work with individuals and couples. Individual work is usually about finding the pattern underneath the presenting problem, the thing that keeps recurring in different forms across different circumstances. Couples work is about finding what the argument is really about, which is rarely what it appears to be about. Both come down to the same thing: seeing what you haven't been able to see, and from there, actually being able to do something different.
Being in Austria
Austria has a particular quality, Vienna especially, that rewards a certain kind of formality and discretion. It's a city where things work well and emotional expression is not especially encouraged. If you've found that hard to name, that's part of it.
For couples in Vienna, the social world tends to organize around professional networks and established circles, which can feel closed. If any of that texture is part of what brings you, we can work with it. If what you're dealing with has nothing to do with Austria, that's fine.
What couples bring to online therapy
Couples I work with come for recurring conflict, communication problems, infidelity and broken trust, emotional distance, codependency, resentment, sexless marriage, attachment issues, and the strain of major life transitions. Online marriage counseling and relationship therapy in English make it possible to do this work without geographic limits, whether you need a couples therapist, a marriage counselor, or relationship counseling that goes deeper than communication exercises.
How it works
Sessions are online via secure video call. I work with individuals and couples (60 minutes). Before your first session, we have a brief 15-minute call to see if this feels like the right fit for you.
