Mag. Awien Rainer

Psychotherapist, Coach

Awien helps you to develop your talents and realize your full potential so that you can lead a self-determined and happy life.
Individual Session / Group Session

During her training as a psychotherapist in Transactional Analysis, she was able to experience firsthand the profound and lasting effects of psychotherapy through many years of training analysis.
This has enabled her to develop self-reflection and self-awareness, which in turn form the foundation for a successful therapeutic process through a therapeutic alliance.

Her view of humanity is characterized by appreciation, compassion, and openness. She has a deep trust in every person’s ability to grow and develop personally. She is convinced that every person already possesses within themselves the foundation needed to solve a problem. To this end, the relationship between her clients and her as a therapist is always her top priority.
Within this therapeutic relationship, old traumatic issues can be worked through, new experiences can be gained, and these can be integrated into the individual’s personality. Unconscious patterns are brought to light and, as a result, can be changed.

The key to this is the trusting, open and respectful relationship between her and her clients. You can enter a physically and energetically protected space that guarantees absolute confidentiality. The result is a mindful and careful interpersonal approach that treats your issues seriously and without judgment.

Awien offers psychotherapeutic support in German, English and Kurdish in individual, couple or group settings.
