Mental Health Counselling for Effective Altruists

The global mental health crisis has been exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic. Effective altruists may be particularly prone to mental health issues given their broad concern and engagement for others.

I am a psychologist, psychotherapist (CBT) and PhD in neuroscience with a research focus on the neurobiology of depression (see latest publication). I've been involved in Effective Altruism since 2015 and headed the Austrian Effective Altruism chapter for two years.
