Portrait of Bianca Arthofer, psychotherapist in training under supervision in Vienna 1040, specialized in psychoanalytically oriented psychotherapy.

Bianca Arthofer, BEd

Bianca Arthofer, BEd, brings a special combination of pedagogical background, analytical curiosity and a keen perception of human development. Through her many years of work as a secondary school teacher with a focus on inclusive education - as well as a mentor for prospective teachers - she has developed a deep understanding of different life realities, sensitive transitions and the question of what people really need in stressful phases.

Today, her focus is clearly on psychotherapeutic work with adolescents and adults. Bianca's work is psychoanalytically oriented and focuses primarily on issues such as self-worth, identity, relationships, inner conflicts, exhaustion, grief, psychosomatic complaints and complex family or biographical entanglements. Her therapeutic approach is warm, thoughtful and analytically trained - with the aim of opening up spaces in which people can organize, understand and develop themselves.

Bianca Arthofer, BEd, combines pedagogical experience, psychotherapeutic expertise and a particular strength in providing emotionally sensitive support to young families. After many years as a secondary school teacher with a focus on inclusive education - and as a mentor for student teachers - she has a deep understanding of how differently children develop and how much relationships shape the rhythm of everyday life.

In her current training as a psychoanalytically oriented psychotherapist at the Vienna Psychoanalytic Academy and in her Master's degree program at the Medical University of Vienna, she deepens her knowledge of inner dynamics, attachment and early development on a daily basis.

A particular focus of her work is attachment- and needs-oriented sleep counseling for babies and toddlers. Bianca supports parents in better understanding their child's sleep behavior, establishing loving routines and finding security in challenging phases - always without pressure, but in harmony with the emotional needs of the whole family.
