For people who want to grow with greater self-awareness.
Psychological support for people who want to understand themselves more deeply, recognise recurring patterns and take their next steps with more awareness.
Psychological support backed by verified qualifications.
I'm Gregor Braun, psychological counsellor, coach and co-founder of a private practice in Zürich. In my work, I support people and teams through personal and professional transitions, combining psychological expertise, coaching approaches and experience from science, consulting and organisational development.
My expertise and qualifications are verified by PsychologyToday. My approach is based on scientifically grounded methods, including Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT), cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), inner child work and the St. Gallen Coaching Model (SCM).
Before becoming self-employed, I worked in transformation-focused organisations, consultancies and academic settings. Among other things, I worked for international consultancies such as BCG and Quantis, as well as at educational and research institutions in Basel and St Gallen.

Before you book a session, you can get a first sense of who I am, how I work, which topics matter to me, and what psychological support with me can look like.
A first impression
Modern coaching with psychological depth.
My work combines psychological counselling, coaching and scientifically grounded methods. I draw on approaches from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, cognitive behavioural therapy, systemic coaching and inner child work.
I do not look at personal topics in isolation. Stress, relationship patterns, professional questions, inner beliefs and physical responses are often more closely connected than they first appear. That is why we look together at what shows up in your everyday life, which patterns sit behind it and how you can deal with them more consciously.
The aim is greater self-leadership: to perceive yourself more clearly, make sense of your thoughts and feelings, take your values seriously and derive concrete next steps from them. Personal, professional and close to your reality.

My Services
Depending on your situation, our work together can have different areas of focus. At the centre is always the question of what you want to understand better, change, or approach with more awareness.
Life Coaching
For people who want to live, decide and grow more consciously. In coaching, we look at your values, patterns and goals. This gives you more orientation around what genuinely fits you.
Psychological Counselling
For personal topics you want to understand more deeply. Counselling helps you make sense of thoughts, feelings and reactions, and develop new ways of relating to yourself and others.
For professional questions that go deeper than the next career step. Together, we look at your values, motivation, expectations and possible paths, so your work can feel more aligned with who you are again.
Shaping a Meaningful Career
Stress and Anxiety Management
For people who want to deal more consciously with pressure, responsibility and inner tension. We look at how stress arises, which patterns intensify it and what helps you regain more calm and breathing space.
Other ways to work with me
6 Month Development Programme
The programme combines personal sessions, self-guided work with the workbook and support in everyday life. It is suitable if you do not just want to sort through individual topics, but work over time on self-awareness, regulation, values and new habits.
Workbook
The workshops combine psychological foundations with reflection and practical exercises. They can be designed around topics such as resilience, change, self-leadership or conscious collaboration, and adapted to the specific context.
Workshops
Not every starting point looks the same. Some people want to begin by reflecting on their own, others are looking for longer-term support or a format for their team. That is why, alongside psychological counselling, there are further ways to work with my topics.
The workbook From Crisis to Contribution guides you through personal phases of change with reflection questions, exercises and psychological knowledge. It helps you understand your own patterns more clearly and deal more consciously with inner pressure, uncertainty and change.
For everyone who wants to go deeper independently
For people who want intensive support over several months.
For teams, organisations and groups.
What people take away from our conversations.
Mr Braun knows his craft. He is a great psychological counsellor and has an open ear. He listens carefully and responds to personal concerns with a lot of empathy. A strong recommendation!

Philip Hundegger
Gregor is an attentive and compassionate psychological counsellor who really takes the time to understand and support you. He creates a safe space where it feels easy to open up and work through challenges. I warmly recommend him to anyone looking for a therapist who genuinely cares and supports their growth.
Francesca Valentini
Arnau Barrera Cot
Greg listens. Really listens. He tells you what you need to hear, not what you want to hear. That’s rare. He’ll push you to think, but he won’t leave you hanging. There’s guidance behind the challenge. Bottom line: he cares, he’s sharp and curious and he’s in it to help you get better.

What you should know before your first conversation.
What happens in the first conversation?
We begin with a free 30-minute introductory conversation. Afterwards, you decide whether and how we continue working together.
How many sessions do I need for successful therapy?
That depends on your situation and your goals. For initial orientation, 10 to 12 sessions are often enough. For deeper work, it may take longer.
Do I need a doctor’s referral or a referral from psychiatry?
No. For psychological counselling or coaching with a therapist, you do not need a doctor’s referral or a referral from psychiatry.
Is psychological counselling also useful if I do not have a clear diagnosis?
Yes. Many people do not come with a diagnosis, but with a vague sense of pressure, uncertainty or lack of direction. Psychological counselling can help you understand inner connections, recognise patterns and gain clarity, even without clearly defined symptoms.
Can I switch between online sessions and in-person appointments?
Yes. In many cases, a flexible combination of online sessions and appointments on site is possible. Together, we clarify which setting makes sense for your situation and adjust the format if needed.
Frequently asked questions
Let’s see whether my approach is right for you.
In a free introductory conversation, we talk about what is currently on your mind, your team’s mind or your organisation’s mind, and which form of support would make sense.
In Zurich, online, or wherever development is needed at the moment.
You can contact me for one-to-one sessions, team reflections or enquiries from organisations. Sessions take place online or in person in Zurich. For workshops and team-based activities, we’ll work together to agree on the most suitable format.
