About me
I am Emanuel Führer, an art-therapist in Vienna. My professional path led me from 10 years of work in the social sector and studies in social work to additional training as a mental coach with a focus on stressmanagement, the psychotherapeutic propaedeutic course, and finally to the master's program in art therapy.
In my work, I offer and pass on what has helped me tremendously on my own journey. I am convinced that certain people can greatly benefit from creative expression and symbolic-artistic representation of the issues that move, burden, and occupy them.
My focus is therefore on guiding those of us who want to engage in these processes. To this end, I offer a variety of materials, such as painting with different colors on various formats, working with collages, or, if something more tactile is desired – working with clay or soapstone.

About me
My name is Emanuel Führer. My professional path led me from 10 years of work in the social sector and studies in social work to additional training in mental training with a focus on relaxation techniques, a master's program in art therapy, and the psychotherapeutic propaedeutic course.
In my work, I offer and pass on what has been particularly helpful to me on my own journey. Creative expression played a crucial role in this – it became a valuable resource for me.
I am convinced that everyone can benefit from regularly expressing the issues that move them. And for some, it is even essential for maintaining emotional balance. My focus is therefore on guiding people who want to engage in the creative expression of inner images, impulses, and feelings. Various materials are suitable for this, such as painting with different colors on various formats, working with collages, self-drying clay, or soapstone.
