My name is Elisabeth Auer and I grew up in Graz, Austria. I originally trained as a secondary school teacher and worked in state schools and for non-government organisations teaching German as a Foreign Language.
In 2003 I moved to England and worked as a German language assistant in secondary schools in Richmond upon Thames. After the birth of my daughter I became a professional childminder and started my psychotherapy training with a Foundation Course in Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy with the London Centre for Psychotherapy, now renamed British Psychotherapy Foundation.
In 2011 I embarked on a four-year training course in Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy at the Guild of Psychotherapists where I completed the taught part of the training.
Subsequently I accredited with, and became a member of the UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP) and the Institute of Psychotherapy and Social Studies (IPSS).
I am committed to Continuing Professional Development and try to update my knowledge on a regular basis. Some of the courses I attended in the last few years are listed below.
