UNTIL YOU MAKE THE UNCONSCIOUS CONSCIOUS, IT WILL DIRECT YOUR LIFE AND YOU WILL CALL IT FATE

Welcome to my Website - Gregor Braun, Psychological Counselor

Welcome. My name is Gregor, I am a psychologist working at the intersection of self-leadership, meaning, and sustainable change.

I am a co-founder of the private practice Therapy Central in Zurich, where I support individuals in navigating challenges related to career direction, relationships, emotional regulation, and questions of meaning. Alongside my work, I collaborate with leaders, teams, and organizations, supporting psychological resilience, clarity, and sustainable performance in complex environments.

Before entering psychological counselling, I spent many years in transformation-focused corporate and academic environments, working with international consultancies such as BCG and Quantis, as well as in academic contexts in Basel and St. Gallen.

My work is grounded in evidence-based approaches, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), systemic coaching, and inner child work. All my qualifications are verified on PsychologyToday.

I only work as a private practitioner, and my services are addressed to self-payers. My service is not covered by basic insurance.

My Approach to Mental Health & Psychological Counselling

I draw on a blend of evidence-based and widely-accepted approaches, including Psychoanalysis, Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Inner Child Work (ICW) and the St. Galler Coaching Model (SCM).

Before becoming a counselor, I worked as a scientist, consultant, and manager guiding individuals and organizations through complex change. Today, I bring that experience into my work by supporting personal transformation on a deeper level.

You are not alone in the process. Together we reflect on thoughts, actions, values and goals. You maintain control, while I provide guidance.

What Our Sessions Look Like

Sessions are thoughtful, paced and clear. Most adults find structure helpful. Here is a simple overview:

  1. First Meeting – In the beginning, we talk about why you came and what matters.

  2. Exploration – We trace patterns that keep you stuck.

  3. Development – We build practical skills and strategies.

  4. Reflection – We review progress and adapt.


Sessions usually last about 50 minutes. The rhythm varies with goals and needs.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is psychological counselling for me? 

Psychological counselling is for adults who want to understand themselves better, want a meaningful life, or seek sustainable change rather than chase quick tips. It is not a crisis hotline. It is not a space for urgent safety intervention. If you are in immediate danger, please contact local emergency services.

How many sessions are needed?

It depends on your goals. Some adults work for a few weeks, others longer.

Can I do online therapy?

Yes. Online therapy is widely accepted and useful for many people.

How do I start?

Book a free intro session or contact the practice directly.

Does psychological counselling replace psychotherapy?

No. There is a clear difference between my approach as psychological counsellor and a psychotherapist. Counselling is based on reflection, personal development, and coping with life challenges. Psychotherapy is a medical treatment for diagnosed mental health conditions. If psychotherapy is indicated, this will be addressed openly and responsibly.

Is this service suitable for expats and english-speaking adults?

Yes. Psychological counselling is particularly well suited for expats and English-speaking adults. Sessions are conducted in English and are tailored to the challenges that often come with living abroad, such as cultural adjustment, isolation, identity questions, relationship changes, or professional pressure. The work focuses on providing orientation, emotional stability, and practical coping strategies in a familiar language and a culturally sensitive setting.

How much does it cost? Are the costs covered by basic insurance? 

The services address self-payers. The fee per hour is 150 CHF in person and 130 CHF online. The service are not covered by basic insurance. Check with your additional assurance if psychological counselling is covered.
