Psychologist or Psychotherapist?
What are the differences, and what services do I offer?
​I am a licensed psychologist and a member of the Swiss Federation of Psychologists, but I am not a psychotherapist. Psychotherapy is a form of treatment for diverse mental disorders. It can be offered only by those health professionals who have completed or are currently in post-graduate training in psychotherapy.
What I Provide:
​​
-
Coaching, Counseling and Preventive therapy for Neurodivergent Adults
I help with topics such as self-understanding, emotional regulation, executive functioning, relationships, self-esteem, masking, and more.
-
Emotion-Focused Therapy for Neurodiverse Couples.
For couples where one or both partners have ADHD or autism, my neurodivergent lens ensures that the approach is tailored to their unique needs and experiences. I guide couples to recognize and validate each other’s emotions, fostering a deeper understanding of how neurodivergence influences their relationship.

Psychological support
Preventive therapy
Identifying harmful beliefs, learning to replace them with healthy ones, and actively working on problematic behaviors are the realistic and concrete steps leading to real change. During the sessions, we focus on the possible resolutions of the problems that you decide to address. We aim to find the source of the distress and respond precisely to your unsatisfied, unrecognized need. To stop a vicious circle, it is essential to modify some of its elements. Therapy can help you to recognize these elements, increase awareness, and learn more effective coping strategies.
​Counseling
During the sessions, we focus on your emotions and coping strategies. Giving words to our feelings leads to awareness and a better understanding of what is happening in our minds. It helps to release tension and regain insight. A more peaceful mind, in turn, becomes open to learning new skills and growing. Whether you feel like things got hard lately, you're dealing with a distressing life event, or you need a safe space and gentle guidance to process difficult emotions, you have come to the right place.
