In my practice for psychotherapy in Zurich, I accompany you through phases that push you to your limits: anxiety, ongoing stress, exhaustion, burnout, or a deep dissatisfaction you have not yet been able to put into words. In individual therapy in Zurich, I take the time to understand with you what lies beneath your symptoms, and to find, step by step, a path towards greater inner calm.

As a psychotherapist FSP, I work on a depth-psychology foundation and integrate mindfulness and meditation. My background brings together economics and psychology: after fifteen years in international leadership roles, I understand the world of performance, expectation and pressure from my own experience – and I meet you with calm, warmth and a clear, professional perspective.

My practice is located at Scheuchzerstrasse 8 in Zurich. We can work in the practice, in nature through forest bathing, or flexibly online. What matters is a space in which you feel safe and may change at your own pace. I warmly invite you to a first, no-obligation introductory conversation.

Typical concerns in psychotherapy

People come to me for different reasons. Often it is one of these topics:

Anxiety and inner restlessness: Worry, rumination or panic take up space and restrict everyday life.
Stress, exhaustion and burnout: The pressure has lasted a long time, recovery no longer works and energy is missing – at work and in private life.
Low mood: Drive and joy have been lost; much feels heavy or empty.
Crises, loss and transitions: A separation, a bereavement, an illness or a professional turning point calls much into question.
Difficulties in relationships: The same conflicts keep repeating – with a partner, in the family or at work.
The feeling of being stuck: From the outside much seems fine, and yet something is missing. You want to understand what moves you and find a direction again.

How psychotherapy works, step by step

Introductory conversation: You get in touch by phone or email. In a first conversation, without obligation, we clarify your concern and whether working together feels right for both of us.
Taking stock together: We get an overview: what is on your mind, what would you like to change, and how would you notice that you are feeling better?
Regular sessions: We work at the practice on Scheuchzerstrasse, in the forest or online. Rhythm and duration depend on your concern – sometimes a few conversations are enough, sometimes longer support is needed.
Closing: The aim is to help you help yourself: to live increasingly self-determined again, drawing on your own resources. We plan the ending together.

Psychotherapy in Zurich in English, German or French

I offer psychotherapy in English, German and French. People who live and work in a foreign language often find it easier to put into words what is going on inside when they can speak their own language.

Sessions take place at my practice in Zurich (8006, Kreis 6), in the forest if you wish, or online – for example if you travel a lot or do not live in Zurich.

Psychotherapy or coaching – which fits?

Coaching is for people who want to clarify a professional question or develop in their role. Psychotherapy is indicated when emotional suffering weighs on everyday life – for example persistent anxiety, exhaustion or low mood.

The line is not always sharp. Because I work both as a psychotherapist and as an executive coach, we clarify together in the first conversation which setting suits your concern.

How I work

Understanding the person. Opening up new perspectives. Becoming able to act again.

I do not see psychotherapy as an endless conversation about problems, but as joint work on understanding yourself better, recognising old patterns and finding new ways. I am interested not only in symptoms but always in the whole person: their history, their relationships, their professional and private world, their strengths and their possibilities.

My foundation is C. G. Jung's analytical psychology, complemented by clinical experience and various therapeutic approaches. I work in an integrative, resource-oriented and active way. That means I listen attentively, ask questions, offer impulses, sometimes challenge, and encourage you to try new things in everyday life. Concrete tasks, a change of perspective or humour can help to get stuck situations moving again.

For me, courage and sensitivity belong together. I also address difficult or uncomfortable topics – gently when needed and very directly when it helps. It matters to me to create a protected space in which people can explore their fears, conflicts, wishes and also their less pleasant sides without being judged.

Through my many years in business I also know how closely work, family, partnership, self-worth and health are connected. Separating these areas artificially fits neither my experience nor my therapeutic understanding.

I accompany individuals, couples and families through difficult phases of life, personal crises, exhaustion, relationship conflicts or the wish for change.

My aim is to help people help themselves. Sometimes a few conversations are enough to regain clarity and orientation. Sometimes longer support is needed to understand and lastingly change deep-rooted patterns. Both have their place.

What matters is not staying in therapy as long as possible, but increasingly living a self-determined, confident life with your own resources again.

Frequently asked questions

What issues does psychotherapy help with?

Anxiety, persistent stress, exhaustion and burnout, low mood, life crises, loss and transitions, relationship problems, or the feeling of being stuck. Even if you cannot yet put it into words, a first conversation helps clarify the concern.

How does psychotherapy with me work?

It starts with a personal first meeting at my practice in Zurich. We discuss what is on your mind, what you would like to change and what you expect from therapeutic support. Just as important is whether the collaboration feels right for both of us: psychotherapy needs trust, openness and a willingness to engage with yourself. In the first meeting we get an overview, clarify the key questions and discuss what further work together could look like.

How often do sessions take place?

The frequency depends on your concern and your personal situation. In acute stress, shorter intervals can make sense. For longer-term development or support through change, longer intervals are also possible. I deliberately work flexibly and agree on appointments individually.

How long does psychotherapy take?

There is no general answer. Sometimes a few sessions are enough to see a difficult situation in a new light, resolve a conflict or become able to act again. For deeper conflicts, recurring relationship patterns or mental illness, longer-term psychotherapy can make sense. Together we regularly review what the therapy achieves and what further support is helpful.

How long is a session?

I like to work with longer sessions of around 90 minutes. This allows more complex topics to be explored calmly without having to stop in the middle of an important process. Other session lengths are possible depending on your concern.

What does psychotherapy with me cost?

Fees are available on request – explained transparently in the no-obligation introductory call. You are billed directly.

Does health insurance cover the costs?

My practice is for self-paying clients: costs are not billed to compulsory basic health insurance. Depending on your policy, supplementary insurance may contribute to the costs, because I am a recognised psychotherapist FSP (listed in the FSP psyFinder on psychologie.ch). Whether and to what extent you can be reimbursed depends on your insurer and its recognition criteria. Please check this directly with your health insurer before starting therapy.

What are the advantages of paying yourself?

As a self-paying client you can choose psychotherapeutic support without a doctor’s referral. Paying yourself allows an individual agreement on the time frame and frequency of sessions, and nothing is routinely billed to basic insurance. Especially with personal or professionally sensitive topics, many people value this independence and discretion.

Do you also offer couples and family therapy?

Yes. Besides individual therapy I also work with couples and families. I look not only at individual difficulties but at the relationships and dynamics in the whole system. The aim is to develop better mutual understanding, work through conflicts constructively and open up new options for action.

Where do sessions take place?

In my practice at Scheuchzerstrasse 8 in Zurich (Kreis 6, near ETH/University), in the forest as a walking conversation if you wish, or online by video. Many clients combine the formats.
