Dr. Franziska Potocnik

I am incredibly grateful for the support I received from the Psychological Psychotherapy Practice – Dr Franziska Potocnik. I felt very comfortable and welcome in this practice from the very beginning. The entire team is friendly, respectful and open. During my transition, my psychotherapist supported me with a great deal of empathy, understanding and professional competence. From the outset, I felt safe, respected and taken seriously – something that is unfortunately not a given for queer people. She never questioned my identity, but gave me space to talk about issues that are often taboo or misunderstood in other practices. In addition to my transition, my psychotherapist also supported me with my challenges with ADHD, autism and anxiety, accompanied by episodes of depression. Her calm, empathetic manner and her deep understanding of neurodiverse conditions helped me greatly to build trust and find new ways of coping with everyday life. I can wholeheartedly recommend Dr Potocnik's practice – especially to queer, trans or neurodiverse people who want a safe, appreciative and competent space. I finally felt truly seen and understood there."
