Psychological Practice Zurich for greater clarity and well-being.
I work in my own psychological practice in the heart of Zurich, which brings me together with many interesting people whom I may accompany for a stretch of their journey. Always with the aim of sustainably promoting clarity and well-being.
On this page, you will find insights into my background, my approach, and my qualifications. This allows you to learn about the values and methods upon which my guidance is built.
However, whether the chemistry between us is right is best felt in personal contact. I look forward to getting to know you during a free initial phone consultation.
My Background and Approach.
In working with you, I draw upon a wealth of experience.
Based on my practice as a certified Psychological Counselor and Gestalt therapist - trained at the qualified Institute for Body-Centered Psychotherapy (IKP) and through further training both in Switzerland and abroad - I am able to deeply empathize with your concerns.
I can quickly empathize with your situation and rapidly understand what truly matters.
Grounded in my life experience, born in 1970, and my long-standing dedication to crisis counseling for people in need, I meet you at eye level, with openness, acceptance, and appreciation.
I know the challenges of the working and business world first-hand.
As a Consultant and Senior Project Manager, I guided strategic projects in SMEs and multinational corporations for many years. Through this, I know the challenges within different professional fields, organizational structures, and corporate cultures – and above all, how to deal with them constructively.

«What is, is allowed to be. That which is allowed to be, can change.» Werner Bock
We often invest a great deal of energy trying to change ourselves to conform to an ideal image, such as "I must be this" or "I am not allowed to feel that." This struggle against ourselves creates inner pressure and blockages.
The solution lies in accepting what is currently present: when we allow ourselves to acknowledge, "I feel insecure or anxious right now," the blockade dissolves. Acceptance removes the pressure and opens up space for change.
