Therapy for Expats and Internationals in Switzerland
Living abroad changes you. Anchors shift. You adapt — sometimes faster than feels healthy. That dislocation, even in beautiful places, can show up as loneliness, anxiety, identity confusion, or tension in your closest relationships.
For many people living abroad, English is the language where things can be said more precisely — and felt more fully. Whether you arrived last month or have lived here for years, whether you identify as an expat or simply prefer working in English — the challenges are real. And sometimes they’re hard to name.
Many people living in Switzerland function well in French or German. But when emotions get close — grief, shame, anger, doubt — something tightens. In English, the defences soften. Words land closer to what is actually being felt.
If your main concern is your relationship, my page on Couples Counselling may be more relevant.
You Don’t Need to Have It Figured Out
You don’t need someone who smiles and nods. You need someone who can hold what’s real — without judgement, and without fluff. I don’t do platitudes. I don’t pathologise. I meet you as a person, not a diagnosis.
Whether it’s stress counselling, support for burnout, or navigating relationship strain — my work is rooted in direct conversation, relational honesty, and emotional truth. We’ll explore what’s stuck, what’s hurting, and what’s calling to be reclaimed.
You can bring your story in fragments. We’ll piece it together as we go along.
Where We Can Work Together
In person in Nyon and Lausanne, or online across Switzerland and abroad — in English.
