Counselling in Nyon, Lausanne & Online — for Individuals and Couples
Real conversations are at the heart of meaningful counselling and therapy. The things we usually don’t talk about — the tension, the ache, the patterns we keep repeating — still shape us, often in ways we don’t fully see. So: let’s begin talking, exploring, asking. With open curiosity, and some courage.
Whether you’re facing relationship struggles, burnout, or a deeper sense of disconnection, this is a time to slow down, untangle what’s happening, and find a steadier way forward.
I work with couples, women, and men who are ready to face what’s not working, and who want more clarity, honesty, and connection in their lives.
With practices in Nyon and Lausanne, and online across Switzerland and abroad, I offer counselling that’s grounded, practical, and emotionally honest. Together, we look at what’s beneath the surface, bring it into the open, and learn how to meet it — or see it with fresh eyes — so that shifts and changes become a lived reality.
Counselling Services in Nyon, Lausanne & Online
Individual Counselling
Holding it all together can become second nature — until it starts to fray. Burnout creeps in, grief lingers, or life feels strangely flat.
We unpack what’s underneath and work toward clarity, healing, and direction.
Real Conversations.
Couples Counselling
Even strong relationships lose their rhythm. The silence, the tension, the looping fights — it all starts to erode intimacy.
We slow things down, cut through the noise, and rebuild trust, closeness, and truth. So you can find your way to honest intimacy.
Real Connection.
Counselling for Men
Father. Son. Brother. Lover. Man.
These roles shape us — and can stretch us thin.
When purpose dims, connection fades, or pressure builds, we face it together — and reclaim clarity, strength, and emotional depth.
Real growth.

About Aernout
I was raised in the Netherlands, shaped by nearly two decades in Africa, and have now practised in Switzerland for almost ten years. Before becoming a counsellor, I spent years listening deeply — as a journalist, a friend, a man — drawn to what lives underneath the surface. Today, I bring that same grounded presence to the counselling room: honest, curious, and not afraid to go where it matters. I work with individuals, couples, and men who are ready to face what’s real — and find steadier ways to live, love, and grow. Much of my work is with internationals — people navigating life in a second language or culture, looking for an English-speaking therapist who gets the nuance beneath the words.
What clients have said after working with me
Your capacity to see people so precisely and completely is just beautiful and freeing. Sometimes it’s pure magic and you seem to see things about either of us that we ourselves would find hard to give words to.
You make it appear from behind a veil, with kindness and curiosity.
Aernout’s counselling was critical in helping me through the most challenging part of my life so far.
He is firm and assertive in a way that I didn’t know I needed, and yet he combines this with immense compassion and deep understanding. He creates a safe space for the most vulnerable situations.
Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and rightdoing, there lies a field.
I will meet you there.
