Dr. Manuel Schmerer
About me
Competence – Resources – Appreciation – Self-efficacy: These are some of the core foundations that shape my therapeutic approach and attitude. I work within the framework of systemic and hypnosystemic therapy.
I understand the challenges and symptoms that lead people to seek therapy not as signs of personal failure, but as expressions of the fact that, amidst difficult life circumstances, they have not yet been able to access and apply their inner resources and strengths in a way that supports their goals.
In our work together, we focus on uncovering, activating, and reconnecting with these possibilities—your unique potential for change, resilience, and growth.
