“When we are no more able to change a situation, we are challenged to change ourselves” – Viktor E. Frankl, Austrian neurologist and psychiatrist 1905-1997.

If you feel that you have problems coping with everyday life and you feel that you can’t deal with it on your own any more, it could be good for you to try psychological counselling.

Life Coaching in form of Psychological Counselling

I offer various options for counselling and coaching for adults as well as children and adolescents to best meet my customers’ individual needs. Life Coaching (in Austria Lebens- und Sozilaberatung) is counselling for individuals, couples and families in every day life challenges. Life coaching is not therapy for individuals with mental health disorder.

Individual Life Counselling

Sometimes in life we get into situations that are just too overwhelming to cope with them on our own. And we might feel like there is no way out of this misery. But there is a way. Let’s find it together.

In my counseling sessions, I prioritize a talk-based approach, particularly emphasizing the solution-focused method. If the client is open to it, I also integrate additional counseling techniques as needed.

There is a student discount available for psychological counselling.

Couples counselling & Sexual questions

Difficult episodes in a relationship can arise due to numerous reasons. Every couple is different and every story unique. But since these hardships can be a challenging task to overcome, it often proves helpful to seek an external view on the situation through couples counselling. For couples struggling with their sex life I offer counselling in from of talk as well.

Sessions will be held with both partners, but if desired, individual sessions with each partner can be included as a part of the counselling path.

Online Counselling

Individual or couples counselling sessions held in the comfort of your home. Sounds good? Then Online Counselling might be for you. All you need is a working internet connection, a quiet place where you feel comfortable in a chat room.

Culture and Business Coaching

I offer two distinct categories of coaching sessions:

Culture Coaching for Expats coming to Austria or moving to a new country and
Business Coaching for Professionals facing troubles at the workplace.

This website is designed to give you a first impression of my counselling methods. I am looking forward to seeing you in person in order to talk with you about your issue in my practice in Familinezentrum in Innsbruck.

Originally from Finland, I have spent many years living abroad, during which I was able to get insights into different cultures and learn various languages. The different stops on my life’s journey have been Austria, Poland, Russia and now Germany and again Austria.
