I work with emotion-focused couple therapy (EFT). This is a systematic, researched and empirically validated method that is highly effective in helping couples in emotional distress. It focuses on identifying and changing negative communication cycles in a relationship. At the same time the emotional bond between partners is strengthened. The approach is structured and process oriented.

Self-compassion and compassion towards others is strongly associated with mental well-being. In Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT) we use exercises to strengthen compassion and to reduce negative feelings (such anxiety, anger, shame), as well as self-critical thinking.

Mental health of expats can be quite fragile. I have been working with people with mental health problems from various cultural backgrounds for many years. Thereby I can also draw on my own “expat experience” as a Swiss person who has lived and worked in the UK, the Netherlands and Germany.

Highly sensitive individuals perceive internal and external stimuli more deeply. They respond stronger to smells, sounds, and moods of other people. I offer counseling for high sensitivity individuals supporting them with day-to-day life, work situations and family matters (partner relationship, parenthood).

Becoming a parent can have an impact on one`s mental health. I offer counselling and psychotherapy for topics, such as prenatal and postnatal anxiety and depression, fertility problems, and processing difficult birth situations.
