Counselling in Nyon, Lausanne & Online - For Individuals & Couples
Counselling in Nyon, Lausanne & Online
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.
I explicitly invite men to read, to reach out and to engage; men who might sense there are few other places where their questions are welcome, and where they can be met with both curiosity and courage.

Holding it all together can become second nature — until it starts to fray. Fatigue creeps in, grief lingers, or life feels strangely flat. Purpose or presence might feel lacking.
We unpack what’s underneath and work toward clarity, healing, and direction.
Real Conversations.
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.
an explicit invitation
Father. Son. Brother. Lover. Man.
These roles shape us — but they can also drain us.
Together, we look at where the stretch has gone too far, where purpose has faded, where pressure builds, or becomes too much. Who are you, underneath it all? What do you want — from yourself, and from others?
As a man, I explicitly invite other men to experiment with different ways of seeing, feeling, and responding — without judgement or a quick-fix toolkit.
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.
I’m an SGfB-registered psychosocial counsellor, bringing both professional grounding and lived experience to the work we might do together.
I am Aernout Zevenbergen, a counsellor in Nyon and Lausanne, and online across Switzerland. My work is grounded, practical, and emotionally honest.
I help people face what isn’t working, so clarity and connection can take root again. This isn’t about quick fixes — it’s about making shifts that last.

What clients have said after working with me
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.

Vulnerability in Romance
Vulnerability isn’t about being easily hurt. It’s about dropping the mask — and letting someone meet the real you, not the performance. That kind of honesty isn’t safe. But it’s real.
Every Visitor Brings a Gift
Even unwanted guests carry something for you: a truth, a turning point, a path toward being more whole.
The Path of Growth Invites Us to Let Go
Growth asks for more than what you can add. Letting go of what no longer fits creates the space for a new, updated version of yourself to emerge.
