Coaches

Dr. Thomas Benoni MSc.

My name is Thomas Benoni, I am a social pedagogue, academic psychological counselor and social manager and have been working in the field of family counseling and educational coaching since 2010. I have gained a wide range of professional experience, including in grassroots work with families and children in homelessness services, in various management positions, in the context of justice work, crisis work and in cooperation with educational institutions. I work according to the “systemic approach”, which in simple terms means that the entire family system and the individual needs of the family members are always the focus of the counseling. My focus is on parenting, child development, parenting and relationships as well as kindergarten/school and social development in childhood and adolescence. Counseling sessions can be held in my practice in the 23rd district (Inzersdorf), online via Zoom or MS Teams as well as on-site at the TU Wien.

Mag.a Heike Podek

As an experienced expert in family relationships, I support parents at the TU in mastering the balancing act between work and family with greater ease. My Parents Coaching is all about finding individual solutions for challenging everyday situations - be it parenting issues, coping with stress or dealing with children's strong emotions. In doing so, I work with a toolbox full of different methods from the fields of psychology, NLP, Jesper Juul, human design and the use of essential oils to provide parents with concrete tools that have an immediate and noticeable effect in everyday family life.

My aim is to empower parents so that they can respond to their children's needs with more serenity and clarity - without stress and frustration.

The consultations can be held in my practice or online.
