Menopause – Counselling and Support in Zurich

Menopause is often reduced to physical symptoms. Yet many women also experience mood swings, exhaustion, sleep problems, anxiety or a deep dissatisfaction during this time – often in the middle of a demanding professional and family life. In my menopause counselling in Zurich, I create a space in which you may take these changes seriously without letting them define you.

As a psychologist (University of Zurich) and psychotherapist FSP, I work on a depth-psychological foundation and integrate mindfulness. My own experience from fifteen years in international leadership positions helps me understand the particular situation of women who carry responsibility and at the same time sense that something is fundamentally shifting. Midlife is also an opportunity: to sort priorities, renegotiate roles and shape the second half of life deliberately.

We work in my practice on Scheuchzerstrasse in Zurich, in the forest through forest bathing, or online. Medical assessment and treatment remain the domain of your doctor – my support complements it on the psychological, professional and personal level. I warmly invite you to a first introductory conversation.

Typical concerns

In this phase of life, women often come to me with these topics:

Mood and energy change: Mood swings, exhaustion, sleep problems or anxieties you do not recognise in yourself.
A double load: Responsibility at work, children becoming independent, parents who need support – all at the same time.
Roles shift: In the partnership, in the family, at work.
Self-image changes: Body, femininity, growing older.
Reorientation: The question of what the second half of life should look like.

How I work

In this phase of life I am interested in the whole person: how career, partnership, family, self-worth and health interact. Separating these areas artificially corresponds neither to my experience nor to my therapeutic understanding.

I listen attentively, ask questions and also address what is uncomfortable – gently when necessary and directly when it helps. Sometimes a change of perspective helps, sometimes a concrete task for everyday life, sometimes humour. For me, courage and sensitivity belong together.

My aim is to help you help yourself. Sometimes a few conversations are enough to regain clarity and direction; sometimes longer support makes sense. What matters is that you shape this phase consciously and move forward with confidence, drawing on your own resources.

Frequently asked questions

Does counselling replace seeing a doctor?

No. Medical assessment and treatment (e.g. hormone therapy) stay with your gynaecologist or GP. My support complements it on the psychological and personal level: mood, exhaustion, roles, relationship, career and how you want to shape the second half of life.

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.

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.
