About Anna

The work of twenty-two quiet years.

A Jungian psychologist in Vienna, working with individuals, groups and the corporate world — at the slow pace depth requires.

A person before a practitioner

I was a child who paid attention.

I was not a child who knew I would become a psychotherapist. I was a child who paid attention — to what was said between sentences, to the moods my parents brought home, to the things my friends could not name about themselves and yet carried every day.

That attention eventually became a vocation. I trained first in clinical psychology, spent a decade working in hospital and outpatient settings, and then — through a long personal analysis of my own — moved into analytical psychology. The shift changed everything: how I listen, how I interpret, how I sit with what does not arrive in words.

Today I work in a quiet practice near Berggasse, in Vienna. The room holds a couch, two chairs, a small shelf, and a window that faces an interior courtyard. There is nothing on the walls that requires the visitor's attention — that is what the work is for.

Anna's history & growth

From clinical practice to depth work.

Rather than presenting a list, here is something closer to a story of how the work developed.

1998 — 2003

Clinical Psychology, MSc

University training with a specialisation in psychodynamic work. Early posts in hospitals and outpatient clinics.

2003 — 2008

First Decade of Practice

Worked in public mental health settings. Increasingly drawn to the question that clinical manuals do not answer: why does this person keep coming back with the same dream?

2008 — 2012

Personal Analysis & Reorientation

Entered a long personal analysis. Began reading Jung, Hillman, Boss, Bion, and the literature of the symbolic life.

2012 — 2018

Analytical Training (MAAP)

Completed analytic training at the Maria Aschauer Programme and the C.G. Jung Institute, Zürich. Began private practice in Vienna in 2014.

2018 — present

Groups, Retreats & Corporate

Slowly added group work — shadow circles, dream groups, retreats. Began working with leadership teams in 2020.

Today

Twenty-two Years, Steady Practice

I work with individuals, three ongoing groups, two annual retreats, and a small number of corporate engagements.

Anna's approach

What makes the work distinctive.

Two practitioners can both be Jungian analysts and yet work in profoundly different ways. Here is how the room feels when you sit in it with me.

Listen first. Diagnose never.

Nothing is diagnosed at you. The room is diagnosis-free by intention — because naming the problem too early often makes the person disappear.

Slow on purpose.

Depth work takes time. The first six months are rarely where the real work happens; that is when the frame solidifies and the unconscious begins to trust the room.

Method follows material.

I draw on Jungian psychoanalysis, dream analysis, shadow work, active imagination, and psychodrama. The methodology is not the point — the relation is.

The symbolic is taken seriously.

I treat recurring dreams, synchronicities, and imaginative material as live communications — not metaphors for something else.

"To the extent that I manage to translate the emotions, I am helped."
— C. G. Jung, Letters Vol. 1
