More about me and my psychological practice in Zurich.

In working with you, I draw on a wealth of experience. Based on my work as a Certified Psychological Counselor and Gestalt Therapist in Zurich, trained at the accredited «Institute for Body-Centered Psychotherapy» in Switzerland. As well as various specialized advanced training courses both domestically and abroad.

I am able to quickly empathize with your topic and understand what it is truly about. This is shaped not least by my life experience, having been born in 1970, as well as by my many years of work as a crisis counsellor supporting people in acute distress. I currently work for a well-known crisis and support helpline, which cannot be named for staff protection reasons, and previously for Amnesty International.

I also understand the challenges of the professional and business world from first-hand experience. Over many years, I worked as a consultant supporting large transformation projects in SMEs and international corporations. This allowed me to collaborate with a wide range of professionals in Switzerland and abroad, gaining deep insight into diverse organizational cultures.

Do these words resonate with you?

Then feel free to get in touch for an initial consultation. I look forward to welcoming you soon to my psychological practice in Zurich.

«What is, is allowed to be. That which is allowed to be, can change.»

This beautiful sentence comes from Werner Bock, a psychotherapist who contributed to the further development of humanistic psychology in the German-speaking world.

After all, we often invest a great deal of energy trying to change ourselves in order to conform to an ideal image, such as «I need to be more confident» or "I must not feel afraid.» This struggle against ourselves generates internal pressure and blockages.

The solution - as paradoxical as it sounds at first glance- is that only when we accept what is right now, allowing ourselves to acknowledge «I am feeling insecure or anxious right now», does the blockage dissolve.

Accepting our current state takes away the pressure and creates the space in which natural transformation can begin to flow.
