A Gentle Space for Growth

My work is grounded in the belief that we all long to feel we belong, that we matter, and that we’re capable of meaningful change. In our sessions, I offer a calm, steady space where you can show up just as you are, whether you feel stuck, overwhelmed, or simply ready for something to shift.

Clients often tell me they feel safe and at ease with me from the start, like having a thoughtful conversation with someone who really sees them. I bring a warm, down-to-earth presence, along with tools and reflections that help you understand yourself better, care for your emotions, and take small, meaningful steps forward.

Together, we’ll explore what’s going on beneath the surface, gently untangle old patterns, and find new ways to relate to yourself and others, with more patience, structure, and self-kindness.

What is Counselling?

Counselling is a therapeutic approach where a trained professional helps you explore your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors to resolve problems and enhance your overall well-being and confidence.

It's a partnership. Not just friendly advice.

Frequency

Counselling once a week is the standard recommended frequency to see improvements. Our brains and hearts need it to continue the healing process.

Coaching sessions are tailored to the client's needs and preferences, ranging from weekly to monthly, and from one to multiple sessions.

Confidentiality

In exceptional situations where harm to self or others is not involved, the sessions are confidential. Ethics and regulations are strictly adhered to, ensuring a safe environment for your growth.

Data Protection and Privacy

I adhere to the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) guidelines to safeguard your personal information.

Information Collected and Its Uses

I only collect data needed for counselling. This includes your contact details and availability from your first question. Brief, anonymized notes may be taken during therapy. All data is kept securely for 10 years after treatment ends (as per Swiss law) and then destroyed. I won't share it with third parties without your consent, except in cases that involve the law (e.g., when there is a risk to life).

How Is Your Data Stored

Identifiable information (such as name and contact details) and therapy notes are stored securely online with password protection. Physical notes are kept locked.
