About me

My path through consultancy, academia and management

My Journey

C. G. Jung

Life is change, and everyone faces it: in work, relationships, health or purpose. Some change we choose; some happens to us.

I spent many years working on one of the biggest changes of our time: sustainable development. I worked for many years in research and consulting, including at BCG and Quantis. One lesson stood out. Change rarely fails because of the plan. It fails because of how people's mind works by default — habits, fear of loss, the need for safety — and the structure we live in.

That's why I turned to psychology. Today I help people and organisations move through change with more clarity and less struggle. Whether you're facing a personal transition or driving change in your work, the core skills are the same: dealing with setbacks, focusing on what you can control, and acting on what matters, even when it's uncomfortable.

I combine scientific thinking, years of experience with change processes, and psychological counselling grounded in ACT, mindfulness and neuroscience.

“Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will rule 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.
