Psychological Career Counselling Zurich
Turn your Job back into your Calling and find Fulfillment in your Work again
Work should not just pay the Bills. It is a Source of Fulfillment & Growth.
Recent studies show that many professionals in Switzerland report daily exhaustion, emotional strain, and low emotional attachment to their job - all signs that something deeper is at play, not just a tough week at the office.
Work should not just pay the bills. It can be a source of creativity, fulfillment, and meaning.
My name is Gregor. I am a certified psychological counsellor & coach supporting people in finding clarity, direction, and renewed meaning. Together, we turn career questions into conscious choices and help you reconnect with what truly matters to you.
My psychological career counselling in Zurich offers professional support when career decisions, stress at work or inner conflicts begin to affect your balance. It provides a safe space to slow down, think clearly and regain clear focus. Without pressure. Without quick fixes.
If your professional life feels demanding, unclear or emotionally charged, I am here for you.
Gregor is a thoughtful and compassionate counselor 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 highly recommend him to anyone looking for a therapist who truly cares and helps you grow.

What My Clients Say
Psychological career counselling combines career counselling with psychological competencies. It looks beyond CVs and job titles. It emphasises personality, values, inner patterns and how stress is managed over time.
It is different from classic career coaching, which often concentrates on performance, goals and external strategies. It also differs from clinical therapy. Psychological counselling assists career-related life challenges, not acute psychiatric crises.
My work connects career development with mental wellbeing. Questions around identity, motivation, anxiety, inner balance or repeated work stress are taken seriously. Counselling and coaching methods are used carefully, grounded in psychology and adapted to individual needs.
My approach supports reflection, coping and sustainable decision-making. It does not promise fast solutions. It supports understanding that gives you a framework to achieve professional goals without compromising well-being.
What Is psychological Career Counselling?
Who my Career Coaching is for
I accompany adults who want to actively shape their career as part of a meaningful life.
It is well suited for professionals in demanding roles. For people navigating various phases of change. For those interested in personal development and personal growth, not surface optimisation.
Many clients are active in their professional life and carry responsibility. Leaders. Specialists. Self-employed professionals. Others feel uncertain in everyday life and work, without a clear label for what feels wrong.
You may come with specific questions. Or only a sense that something no longer fits.
Common Career and Life Challenges
Career-related challenges rarely stand alone. They are often embedded in broader life contexts.
Common topics include:
Feeling stuck despite experience or success
Ongoing work stress and difficulties with work life balance
Anxiety or low mood in connection with job pressure or decisions
Unclear values or inner conflicts around direction
Demands of the job market and professional change
Overload in challenging life situations
Research shows that career-related stress is one of the main sources of long-term stress among working adults in Switzerland and comparable OECD countries. Chronic stress increases the risk of anxiety and depressive symptoms, especially when decisions are postponed or feel blocked.
Services and focus areas
My services include:
Psychological career counselling in Zurich and online
Career counseling with a psychological focus
Career coaching elements where appropriate
Support during career transitions and development phases
Focus areas include stress, decision-making, career development and personal development. Life and career are not treated as separate systems. They interact constantly.
My Psychological Counselling Sessions Structure
The counselling process follows a clear structure while remaining flexible.
Exploration: We explore your situation, patterns and questions. You reflect on personality traits, values and current stressors.
Understanding options: Together we map options within relevant professional fields. Career development and personal factors are considered side by side.
Building skills: You develop practical skills for coping, decision-making and stress regulation.
Integration: Insights are translated into concrete steps. A new beginning does not have to be radical. Often it is precise.
In-Person in Zurich and Online Options
Sessions take place in Zurich or via secure online formats. Both settings offer the same professional framework. In-person sessions provide a quiet physical space for reflection. Online therapy can be helpful when schedules are tight or travel is difficult. Typical sessions last 50 minutes. Frequency depends on your situation.
All sessions are confidential. Clear agreements create reliability and trust. You can contact the practice easily to discuss practical details.
What does Progress look like in Career Development?
This work is not about a single “aha” moment. Real change unfolds gradually, as understanding deepens and new choices are tested in everyday life. In my psychological career counselling work, this often becomes visible through:
Career goals that feel more realistic and genuinely meaningful
Clear next steps that emerge without inner pressure or self-criticism
A healthier balance between professional demands and personal needs
Improved ways of dealing with stress, uncertainty and decision fatigue
A stronger awareness of personal values, abilities and inner resources
Research on individual career counselling shows moderate to strong positive effects on both career development and mental well-being. Especially when psychological aspects are integrated, clients report greater clarity, confidence and coping capacity over time.
Small, well-aligned changes can have a surprisingly strong impact particularly when they fit your own way of living and working.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
How is psychological career counseling/coaching different from traditional approaches?
Career counselling integrates psychological counseling with career topics. Traditional Coaching focuses more on performance and goals. Counselling looks deeper at patterns and inner processes.
How many sessions do clients usually attend?
Many clients start with three to six sessions. The number depends on complexity and goals.
What if I feel stuck but cannot name a clear goal?
This is common. Exploration is part of the process. Goals often develop through understanding.
Is this suitable for stress management?
Yes, when these experiences are connected to career and life stress. Acute depression or crisis situations require specialised medical care.
Do you work with specific professions?
The work is suitable for professionals across fields. The focus is on the person, not the job title.
