I help you overcome the inner blockages that hold you back


Welcome! My name is Benedikt Schmidt and I'm a psychologist and coach who specializes in helping people find the clarity, motivation, and inspiration they need to create a life they love.

Whether you're feeling stuck or looking to connect more deeply with your body and emotions, I'm here to help.

With an unerring eye for and on the resources of his counterpart, Benedikt manages to accompany and explore even difficult topics with great ease - and does so with a lot of empathy.

Experience Positive Change


My coaching helps you to overcome blockages in a holistic way and to stand up for the life you know or you don't yet know is possible, whether for yourself, in your relationships or in your career.

With Follow The River, I share the 13+ years of experience of my own personal development, as well as the knowledge that stems from working with clients, psychological training and my research work as a positive psychologist for the European leader of positive psychology, Dr. Ilona Boniwell.

My Coaching Approach


At Follow the River, I use the hypnosystemic approach, a powerful combination of hypnotherapy and systemic therapy. It draws on the expertise of renowned hypnotherapist Dr. Milton Erickson, alongside other experts like psychosomatic specialist Dr. Gunther Schmidt and Dr. Vera Popper.

In that tradition and unlike hypnosis approaches that rely on formal trance induction techniques or hypnotic monologues, my sessions prioritize a collaborative and competence-focused dialogue. This approach empowers clients to access their own inner resources, develop new perspectives, and make positive changes in their lives.

What Clients Say

Mathias S.

Entrepreneur, Vienna

Powerful transformation

I recently had a coaching session with Benedikt and it was truly transformational. He has a gift for helping people gain clarity and insight into their lives, and he creates a safe and supportive space for exploration and growth. His calm and open-hearted nature makes it easy to feel at ease and truly explore yourself.

Baptiste Barennes

Naturopath, Versailles

That was liberating
Benedikt enables you to go deep inside yourself to find the answers there. For this, he relies mainly on the sensation of the body. I had two inner directions on a topic and was able to understand what each side wanted for me.

Kate B.

Musician, Los Angeles

Transformed my negative attitudes

With Benedikt I ended up learning information about myself that I never would have guessed was there. I was able to separate what my culture was pressuring me to do, and what was actually my own highest self, and how it was actually not the self that I was nurturing most at the time.

I would recommend online consults with Benedikt based on his skills to warm up the conversation while letting you feel understood and accepted. His expertise in embodiment psychology allowed me to find the missing associations and provide explanations along with answers to questions I struggle with in life.

Benedikt is an authentic coach with a lot of sensitivity and understanding. He is always positive and gives you a motivating feeling. Benedikt understood my problem immediately and the coaching session with him has already enriched me a lot. Already the next day, I was able to implement things in my everyday life and I notice how I gain quality of life day by day.
