About me
Rita Pichlhöfer
Registered mediator in Vienna
My journey into conflict resolution began in 2016 in the USA. There, in an intensive mentorship programme, I was able to learn and practise the craft of mediation. This international grounding is the foundation of my work today.
My expertise ranges from school mediation and neighbour mediation to relationship mediation.
I work in English and German, in person in Vienna or online by video. Evening appointments are possible.
