About me

My practice
Growing up in a rural country in Austria has given me a strong sense for improvising and seeing materials out of context. I have found support and healing in art, nature and making from a very early age.

Waltraud’s workspace is a small treasure in a natural garden setting. To address her own experience of trauma and adversity, Waltraud has learnt the value of analytic therapy. Her lifeline wish has been to enable others to explore their own healing journey. She views this work through a gestalt lens. Waltraud believes that we are all unique works of art in the making. She draws on the sand, play, nature, art and clay, and her dogs when needed. Just as a painter needs to discover the skills to select brushes and paints, so do our psyches need to discover which parts of themselves to shine and polish. Waltraud has a gift to sit with people and join them as they venture into deep dark places of their inner life and shed light on a task that feels hard and impossible to do alone.

She holds an MA in Gestalt Psychotherapy and adheres to the ethics of PACFA. She founded Her private practice in 2019
She lives and works in Melbourne/ Murrumbeena.
