About me

Richard Tinkler MA BA

Psychotherapist (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy - CBT) in training under supervision

Born and raised in London, I have lived in Austria since 1993. I was also at home in Mexico and Costa Rica for a number of years. After many years of working in the private and non-profit sectors, I have turned my professional focus to mental health work.

Helping people live their lives in a freer, more fulfilling, less stressful and more enjoyable way has become a personal calling.

Thanks to the collaborative nature of CBT and the transfer of professional knowledge, I can help you to heal, focussing on a better future and fulfilled life.
