Supporting people, grounded in professional expertise – drawing on experience from many walks of life.
Since 2011 I have been supporting people in my practice in Baden bei Wien, near Vienna. Before that, my path led through hotels and the stage, through studying psychology in Graz, software development and an international technology corporation. This diversity helps me relate to a wide range of lives and careers – and software development has remained my second passion.
One path, two foundations
My professional foundation is psychology and psychotherapy; my technical one is software development. What connects the two is lived experience. Out of this grew my practice, my books and hypnosis audio recordings, and TimeInvoicer.

Professional work
My qualifications in psychology and psychotherapy are the basis of my work. Experience from hospitals, social institutions and business also helps me understand different personal and working environments.
Hypnosis psychotherapy (Hypnosepsychotherapie) is a method grounded in depth psychology: it combines psychotherapeutic conversation with therapeutic trance. I completed my seven-year training at ÖGATAP – the Austrian Society for Applied Depth Psychology and General Psychotherapy.
For many years, hypnosis has been a central focus of my work – in my practice as well as in my audio publications.
I completed this training in January 2010. I gained clinical-psychological experience in crisis intervention at the Telefonseelsorge (telephone counselling service), at the child protection centre ‘die Möwe’, at Verein Lichtblick (a non-profit association), at the pain clinic of the Waldsanatorium Perchtoldsdorf (then part of the Dr. Dr. Wagner Group) and in the oncology department of SMZ Ost/Donauspital in Vienna.
In 2011 I founded my private practice in Baden bei Wien.
My path
My professional path combines many years of therapeutic practice with experience from culture, the service sector, technology, social institutions and healthcare. Psychology and psychotherapy became its professional centre.
Tourism college in Bad Gleichenberg and the hotel industry (1988–1990). From 1991 to 1996 at the Vereinigte Bühnen Graz – at the opera and the theatre – as an actor, singer and extra, alongside training in speech and classical singing (1994–1997). During my studies I worked as a driving instructor.
Studies at the University of Graz (Karl-Franzens-Universität Graz), graduating with the Mag. rer. nat. While writing my diploma thesis in Italy, I also worked as an SQL programmer. My Graz degree was subsequently recognised in Bolzano; this came with the Italian academic title Dottore in Psicologia (Laurea in Psicologia, specialisation Psicologia del lavoro e delle organizzazioni) – an academic title, not a doctorate.
Microsoft Support Academy in Munich, nine certification exams in the Microsoft Certified Professional programme, MCSE+I certification. Support Engineer at Microsoft Germany, then Technical Account Manager in Vienna: I represented the interests of major Austrian customers within Microsoft’s international network.
Alongside Microsoft: crisis intervention and counselling at the Telefonseelsorge (telephone counselling service) of the Archdiocese of Vienna (2003–2004). Professionally successful, but increasingly questioning the meaning of my work, I ended my time at Microsoft in 2004 and took a year out on the Canary Islands – without a computer or newspapers, but with windsurfing. Afterwards it was clear: I wanted to work directly with people.
Founder and head of SYSDES, a company for custom software solutions and web design – psychological understanding meets technical and organisational practice.
Child protection centre ‘die Möwe’, Verein Lichtblick, the pain clinic of the Waldsanatorium Perchtoldsdorf (then part of the Dr. Dr. Wagner Group) and oncology at SMZ Ost/Donauspital. In 2009, completion of the psychotherapeutic propaedeutic course (HOPP, Vienna) and start of the seven-year specialist training in hypnosis psychotherapy at ÖGATAP. On 31 January 2010, qualification as a clinical psychologist and health psychologist.
In 2011 I founded my private practice in Baden bei Wien. Since then I have been supporting people here as a clinical psychologist and health psychologist, and since 2016 also as a psychotherapist (hypnosis psychotherapy).
2012–2015: regular psychological advice on ‘Life Matters – Der Radiotalk zum Mitmachen!’ (a call-in radio talk show) on Radio SOL. In 2020 two books came out in German: Der kleine Anti-Burnout-Coach (TRIAS) and Schnelle Hilfe bei Burnout (Springer essentials). In 2021 the hypnosis audio recording Hypnose gegen Angst (TRIAS) followed. In 2022 it was part of the live programme of the ‘Konferenz der Menschen’ on Radio SOL.
In July 2026 I founded TimeInvoicer. It brings my two passions together: psychological work with people and developing reliable software out of my own everyday practice.
