In a counseling session with me, you can expect a safe, confidential, and non-judgmental space where you are free to express your thoughts and feelings. Each session is tailored to your individual needs and goals.

We’ll start by discussing what brought you to counseling, and then collaboratively work to explore your concerns, identify patterns, and develop strategies to help you cope and grow. My approach is empathetic and client-centered, focusing on empowering you to make positive changes in your life.

Sessions typically last for about 50 minutes, and the frequency will depend on your unique circumstances and preferences.

Absolutely. Confidentiality is a cornerstone of the counseling services I provide. What you share in our sessions is kept strictly private, in accordance with professional ethical standards and Swiss law.

There are very few exceptions to this rule, such as imminent harm to yourself or others, which I will explain in our first session. Your trust and privacy are of utmost importance, ensuring a safe and secure environment for your therapeutic journey.

Deciding if therapy is right for you is a significant and personal choice. It can be incredibly beneficial if you're feeling stuck, facing challenges, or simply seeking personal growth. Therapy offers a space to explore your thoughts and emotions, develop coping strategies, and work towards positive change.

To help you determine if this is the right path for you, I offer a free consultation. This initial meeting gives us a chance to discuss your needs and concerns, and for you to get a feel for my counseling approach. It's a no-pressure opportunity for you to ask questions and decide if you feel comfortable and supported in proceeding with counseling.

The number of sessions required varies greatly as each client’s journey is unique. There is no one-size-fits-all answer to this question. The duration of therapy depends on your individual goals, the nature of the issues you're facing, and how you progress through therapy. Some clients find relief and achieve their objectives in a few sessions, while others may benefit from longer-term support.

During our initial consultation and as we proceed, we will continuously assess and discuss your needs and preferences. This collaborative approach ensures that your therapy is tailored to your personal journey, providing the right amount of support for as long as you need it.

As a counselor, I do not prescribe medication. My approach focuses on talk therapy, where we explore your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors to facilitate healing and growth.

However, I understand that in some cases, medication can be an important part of treatment. If during our sessions we find that medication might be beneficial, I can provide a referral to a trusted psychiatrist who can assess your needs and consider this option.

My priority is to ensure that you receive comprehensive care that addresses all aspects of your well-being.

While I strive to meet a wide range of counseling needs, sometimes a client’s specific requirements fall outside my scope of expertise. In such instances, I am committed to helping you find the right support. I offer thoughtful referrals to trusted professionals such as psychologists, psychiatrists, and general physicians who specialize in areas that better align with your unique needs. Ensuring you receive the appropriate and best possible care.

I believe that therapy should be accessible to everyone, which is why I offer a sliding scale for my services. During your initial consult or first session, we’ll discuss fees in a way that ensures you feel comfortable and supported. My goal is to work with you to find a fee structure that meets your needs while allowing for the valuable time and care I provide. Together, we can find a balance that works, making therapy accessible and within reach.
