Bereit,
Türen zu öffnen?

Die Gründe, sich für eine Psychotherapie zu entscheiden, sind vielfältig und individuell.

Ich unterstütze Sie gerne bei Ihrem persönlichen Anliegen.

ÜBER MICH

Ihre Bedürfnisse stehen im Mittelpunkt meiner Arbeit. Ob wir zueinander passen, zeigt sich weniger in meinem Lebenslauf, sondern vor allem bei einem persönlichen Kennenlernen. Daher lade ich Sie herzlich zu einem Erstgespräch ein. Ich biete Ihnen einen geschützten Raum, in dem Sie sich wohl und verstanden fühlen können. Gemeinsam finden wir heraus, ob ich die richtige Person bin, um Sie auf Ihrem Weg zu begleiten.

 

Ich bin Patrizia Exenberger, systemische Psychotherapeutin in Fachausbildung unter Lehrsupervision, und begleite Menschen dabei, ihre Lebenssituationen zu verstehen und neue Perspektiven zu entwickeln. Mit Empathie, Klarheit und einer direkten Herangehensweise schaffe ich einen sicheren Raum für Veränderung. In meiner Arbeit verbinde ich fundiertes systemisches Fachwissen mit theoretischen und praktischen Elementen anderer bewährter Methoden.

Mein Werdegang

Bereit, Ihre Ziele anzugehen?

SYSTEMISCHE THERAPIE

Schon der erste, unverbindliche Kontakt kann helfen, allgemeine Fragen zu klären. Meine Klient:innen gehen keine sofortige Verpflichtung ein.

 

Die systemische Therapie, auch bekannt als systemische Einzel-, Paar- und Familientherapie, betrachtet den Menschen stets im Zusammenhang mit seinem sozialen Umfeld. Probleme werden nicht isoliert wahrgenommen, sondern im Hinblick darauf, wie Wechselwirkungen in Familie, Freundeskreis, Arbeitsumfeld oder Schule zur Entstehung von Symptomen beitragen. Im Mittelpunkt steht dabei weniger die Suche nach Ursachen, sondern vielmehr das gemeinsame Sichtbarmachen der Funktion, die die Symptome innerhalb des Systems erfüllen. Anstelle linear-kausaler Betrachtungsweisen rückt die systemische Therapie wechselseitige und zirkuläre Zusammenhänge in den Vordergrund.

RAHMENBEDINGUNG

Der Erfolg einer Psychotherapie hängt maßgeblich von der Qualität der Beziehung zwischen Klient:in und Therapeut:in ab, sie ist einer der wichtigsten Wirkfaktoren. Während fachliches Wissen unerlässlich ist, können Klient:innen ihre Ziele nur erreichen, wenn sie sich in einer von Empathie, Authentizität, Respekt und Wertschätzung geprägten Beziehung wohl und verstanden fühlen – als Basis für einen Raum, in dem Veränderungen möglich werden.

My background

 

I began my professional career while still studying business and economics. For 20 years, I worked as a strategy and communications consultant both in Austria and abroad. Through my wide-ranging experiences in marketing, advertising, design, leadership and consultancy, I have developed a deep understanding of organisations and human needs.

 

At this point you might be wondering, “What does this have to do with psychotherapy?”. In my previous work, I collaborated with clients to create campaigns – essentially, solutions. It was about bringing order to chaos for clients, re-organising situations meaningfully and fostering new associations. During this process, complexity is simplified – and it is precisely these kinds of newfound insights that can be integrated into daily life in a practical, easier and more fulfilling way.

 

And in psychotherapy, too, it’s about finding solutions. Solutions for my clients. Solutions for your challenges or for navigating diagnoses. The secret is to develop these solutions together.

Guidelines

Process

In the initial consultation, the focus is on getting to know each other. You can share your concerns, goals and expectations, as well as ask me questions to help you reach a decision. For my part, I will also provide a brief insight into my approach and the framework of psychotherapy. Discussing your questions and the topic(s) at hand helps bring clarity and allows you to form an impression of my methods. This first session is all about determining whether you feel comfortable and supported, and would like to embark upon on a therapeutic journey together.

Duration

As short as possible, as long as necessary: even a few sessions can make a big impact. We regularly evaluate the therapy process together. The intervals between sessions are agreed on a case-to-case basis.

Cancellation policy

Your therapy space and session time are reserved for you. Booked appointments can be cancelled free of charge up to 48 hours in advance. After that, the full fee applies. Please note that it will not be possible to extend the session in case of late arrival. If I need to cancel, I will offer you my earliest available upcoming appointment slot as a replacement.

Confidentiality

Absolute confidentiality is a given – and a legal requirement. Everything we discuss in our sessions is treated with the utmost discretion to ensure a safe space for psychotherapy and to foster the level of trust that is essential to a successful client-therapist relationship. It goes without saying that everything you’ve shared remains strictly confidential – including after the therapy has concluded.

What does “in training under supervision” mean?

As a “psychotherapist in training under supervision”, I am formally authorised by a recognised training institution – in my case, the Austrian Association for Systemic Therapy and Systemic Studies (ÖAS) and the Austrian Federal Ministry of Labour, Social Affairs, Health, Care and Consumer Protection – through a certificate confirming my professional and methodological competence to treat clients. In this – final – phase of my training, I am closely guided by experienced supervisory therapists.

Who is systemic therapy for?

Systemic therapy is suitable for people of all ages facing challenges in various areas of life. It is particularly helpful if you are looking for support with:

Relationships

Whether you are looking for support when it comes to strengthening a partnership, fostering a fulfilling intimate life, navigating sensitive fertility issues, resolving family conflicts, or managing separations – I will support you through all phases of interpersonal connections.

Mental health challenges

We will work together to find paths to greater well-being in connection with anxiety, compulsions, depression, eating disorders, sleep disorders, or other psychological and psychosomatic concerns.

Work, training and education

Stress, burnout, bullying, procrastination, or workplace conflicts can impact both professional and personal life – I am here to help you achieve a healthier balance.

Acute crises

Life changes such as illness, grief, job loss, or traumatic experiences often require immediate, targeted support to help restore stability.

Process

Initial consultation

Getting to know one another, building trust, exploring concerns. We meet for the first time and you outline the situation that you are looking for support with. Then we discuss whether systemic therapy is the right approach for you – and whether you can envision navigating the journey ahead with me at your side.

Collaborative goal setting

What is it that you want to change? What are your wishes and expectations? Together, we will define your goal – or goals.

Support navigating the process

Guidance and support throughout your personal change process. I will help you work towards your goals as you learn to activate resources, develop new perspectives and map out solutions.

Ongoing evaluation of progress and changes

Regular joint reviews of the progress you are making and the changes involved. The process itself is dynamic: adjustments are made as required to address emerging challenges or setbacks.

Conclusion

Securing therapy outcomes and planning next steps. We work together to ensure that changes can be sustained in everyday life.
