Wie läuft das erste Gespräch ab?

Wir beginnen mit einem kostenlosen 30-minütigen Kennenlernen. Danach entscheidest Du, ob und wie wir weiterarbeiten.

Wie viele Sitzungen brauche ich für eine erfolgreiche Therapie?

Das hängt von Deiner Situation und Deinen Zielen ab. Für erste Orientierung genügen oft 10-12 Sitzungen. Bei tiefergehender Arbeit kann es länger dauern.

Brauche ich eine ärztliche Anordnung oder Überweisung aus der Psychiatrie?

Nein. Für psychologische Beratung oder Coaching bei einem Therapeuten benötigst Du keine ärztliche Anordnung oder Überweisung der Psychiatrie.

Ist psychologische Beratung auch sinnvoll, wenn ich keine Diagnose habe?

Ja. Viele Menschen kommen nicht mit einer Diagnose, sondern mit einem diffusen Gefühl von Druck, Unsicherheit oder Orientierungslosigkeit. Psychologische Beratung kann helfen, innere Zusammenhänge zu verstehen, Muster einzuordnen und mehr Orientierung zu gewinnen, auch ohne genau benennbare Beschwerden.

Kann ich zwischen Online-Sitzungen und Terminen in der Praxis wechseln?

Ja. In vielen Fällen ist eine flexible Kombination aus Online-Sessions und Sitzungen vor Ort möglich. Gemeinsam klären wir, welches Setting für Deine Situation sinnvoll ist und passen die Form der Zusammenarbeit bei Bedarf an.

About me

My path through consultancy, academia and management

My Journey

C. G. Jung

Before I began working in psychology, I spent many years in academia, consultancy, management and sustainability. I have worked with organisations that deal with change, responsibility and long-term development. Among other things, I have worked for international consultancy firms such as BCG and Quantis, as well as at educational and research institutions in Basel and St Gallen.

What I witnessed across all these contexts was a recurring pattern: organisations investing enormous energy into external change while the inner dimension remained untouched. Strategies shifted, structures were redesigned, processes were optimised. And yet the same dynamics kept re-emerging, because the people driving the change — their beliefs, patterns, values and unspoken fears — had stayed the same. I came to believe that lasting change works from the inside out, not the outside in. That conviction is the foundation of everything I do.

Over time, it has become increasingly clear to me that external change has only limited impact if inner development does not keep pace. That is why I have focused my work more strongly on psychology, coaching, self-leadership and emotional work.

Today, I combine these different perspectives: scientific thinking, experience with change processes, psychological counselling and working with people going through personal and professional transitions.

“Until you bring the unconscious into your consciousness, it will govern your life, and you will call it fate.”

Qualifications and experience

My work combines psychological training, further coaching qualifications and practical experience with individuals, teams and organisations. This allows me to look at personal questions from a psychological perspective, while also taking professional dynamics, change processes and self-leadership into account.

My qualifications are verified by Psychology Today. In our work together, I use scientifically grounded approaches such as Acceptance & Commitment Therapy, cognitive behavioural therapy, systemic coaching and working with inner parts.

What matters to me personally and shapes my work

Sustainability

My work gives me a sense of purpose. As a coach and psychological counsellor, I aim to support and inspire sustainable processes of transformation. When we build a strong inner foundation, both my clients and I can navigate the outside world with greater ease and have a positive impact not only on our own lives, but also on those of our families and communities.

Mindfulness

I am convinced that understanding and nurturing one’s own mind is the key to personal well-being. And the foundation for genuine change in the world. As a coach and psychological counsellor, this approach is not only part of my work but also part of my everyday life: I meditate daily, consciously align my actions with my values, and regularly take part in mindfulness retreats to continually deepen my own practice.

Movement

Look after your body – it’s the only home you’ve got. I learnt this phrase early on from my parents, who are both doctors, and it has stayed with me to this day. A balanced diet, good sleep and regular exercise are essential for me. As a coach and psychological counsellor, I know that these not only form the basis for a healthy body, but also for a clear, strong mind.

Practice in Zurich

I work at Therapy Central in Zurich. Sessions can take place in person or online, in English or German. The first 30-minute introductory session is free of charge.
