Aernout Zevenbergen · Counsellor in Nyon, Switzerland

People come to counselling for a wide variety of reasons: depression, anxiety, life transformations, grief, career issues, or a general sense that something's amiss.

I believe that people are the experts of their own lives. Your skills, desires and needs are the starting point for our interaction during counselling. On the other hand: my training and experience as a counsellor are your guarantee that our work together can lead to solutions, healing and growth.



I offer two types of engagement: face-to-face counselling just outside Nyon or in Mies (near Geneva) and "skype" or distance counselling (confidential and secure on-line counselling).

If you are considering counselling, you might be curious to read more about what this involves, or you might be wondering what the difference is between counselling and psychotherapy. It could even be that you are exploring counselling for a loved one.

To answer those (and other) questions I maintain a blog on issues of counselling and mental well-being.

Counselling in Nyon: Healing & Growth

"What does it mean to be a (wo)man, today? What is the longing of my soul? How can I be true to myself, and those near and dear to me? How can I be a force of positivity in the life of my community, my country, and our world?"

If any of the above questions resonate with you, or if there is something else you would like to pay attention to, please don't hesitate to get in touch with me.

Personal Growth: An Inspiring Adventure

Life has a habit of throwing up issues and hurdles - that is to be expected. Apart from moments of joy and contentment, we also face losses, disappointments, ruptures and cracks. But, as Leonard Cohen sang: "There's a crack in everything; that's how the light gets in."

Cracks lead to self-exploration and that in itself is an adventure; sometimes arduous. As a counsellor I can offer guidance, inspiration and a mirror so you can walk the path you choose to walk.

Psyche originally meant "soul" and therapeia meant "care" - psychotherapy therefore means "care for the soul". And that is exactly what I believe lies at the heart of my counselling and coaching: to help clients find ways of improving their own care for their own souls.
