Psychological Support for Anxiety, Depression, and Burnout.

Psychological Support for Anxiety, Depression, and Burnout.


Sometimes, inner balance falters, and daily life becomes a challenge. When exhaustion, anxiety, or a lack of drive take over, clear and professional guidance can make all the difference in restoring stability.

I am Benedikt Schmidt, a clinical psychologist. My approach combines scientifically grounded methods with individual, compassionate support. I help you process what feels overwhelming and develop a new, more resilient way of engaging with yourself and the world around you.

Experience Positive Change.


Understanding your thoughts, emotions, and needs allows for deliberate change. Together, we develop strategies that have a tangible impact – fostering inner calm, stability, and new perspectives.

My expertise is built on practical experience, continuous professional development, and independent research. I have conducted research on anhedonia at the General Hospital of Vienna, worked in Positive Psychology under the guidance of Professor Ilona Boniwell, and currently practise as a psychologist at the Department of General Internal Medicine and Psychosomatics at Heidelberg University Hospital.

Approach

At Follow the River, I use the hypnosystemic approach – a powerful synthesis of hypnotherapy and systemic therapy. Inspired by Dr Milton Erickson, Dr Gunther Schmidt and Dr Vera Popper.

At its core lies a dialogue-based, resource-oriented method: it enables you to understand inner patterns, gain new perspectives and make lasting changes.

  • Solution-focused
  • Resource-activating
  • Collaborative
  • Utilising Body Feedback
  • Holistic

Professional guidance for lasting change


Psychological support should feel professional, tailored, and secure. If you’re ready to take the next step, I would be delighted to meet you.

Feel safe and free.

Letting go of fear, reducing inner restlessness, and moving through life with greater confidence.
