Psychological support for people who want to grow and understand themselves better.

I am Gregor Braun, a psychologist in Zurich. I support people who want to understand themselves better, make more conscious decisions and navigate personal or professional transitions with greater self-leadership.

My path through consultancy, academia and change processes

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.

This experience shapes my work today. I understand the dynamics of responsibility, pressure to perform, career reorientation and change not just in theory. Many people come to me because personal issues and professional matters cannot be neatly separated: what becomes apparent at work is often linked to inner patterns, expectations, values and old strategies.

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-management and emotional development.

Today, I combine these different perspectives: scientific thinking, experience with organisations, 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.
