Online Counselling in Switzerland

You don’t need to be in the room for therapy to be real, effective and honest.

I offer online counselling for clients across Switzerland — from Zurich to Geneva, and remote Alpine towns to lakefront cities — using secure video sessions. All work is in English, without needing to translate what’s already difficult enough to find good words for.

Why Choose Online Therapy

Online therapy removes the travel, but keeps the depth. Whether you live in Zurich, Lausanne, Geneva — or somewhere quieter and further out — you can access grounded, human support without the commute.

If you’ve struggled to find an English-speaking therapist who fits, or felt stuck navigating the Swiss system, this is an alternative that doesn’t water anything down.

You don’t have to explain everything from scratch. You don’t have to apologise for speaking plainly. This work is about clarity, connection, and honesty — wherever you are.

For many clients, online therapy actually opens up more freedom: you can meet from a familiar space, with your tea, your blanket, your breath. You can show up in a way that feels less performative. More real.

Sometimes, it even becomes easier to speak openly — not despite the screen, but because of it. You’re not walking into someone else’s office, adjusting to someone else’s space. You’re bringing your real life into the frame, mess and all. And that matters.

What Online Sessions Are Like

Sessions are held via a secure, browser-based video platform — no downloads, no complicated tech. Just a quiet space, a decent connection, and the willingness to show up as you are.

I offer 60- and 90-minute appointments for individuals, and 90-minute sessions for couples. You can be at home, in your office, or even parked in your car if that’s where life allows privacy.

Some clients like to walk and talk. Others sit in silence for a while before words come. All of it is allowed.

It’s not a lesser form of therapy. For many, it’s a more spacious one.

You can cry. You can swear. You can say the thing you’ve never said out loud. The screen doesn’t block any of that — and I don’t either.

Who I Work With

My clients live all across Switzerland — Zurich, Bern, Basel, Lausanne, Geneva — and beyond. They include:

  • Expats, migrants, and internationals adjusting to a new culture or feeling isolated
  • People navigating relationship tension, burnout, or emotional overwhelm
  • Men dealing with shame, numbness, or disconnection
  • Women holding emotional labour quietly while everything else runs loud
  • Couples trying to stay connected across distance, parenting, or different levels of emotional fluency

If you’ve been holding a lot, holding it quietly, and wondering where to take it — we can start there.

I’ve worked with trailing spouses who feel invisible in the shadow of a partner’s career. With founders afraid to admit they’re cracking under pressure. With parents who cry in the stairwell between Zoom calls. Online sessions make this kind of honesty possible. You don’t have to dress it up.

Online Doesn’t Mean Distant

Therapy is less about the room and more about the relationship. Even online, we can build real connection — rooted in presence, mutual respect, and emotional honesty.

You can bring whatever’s here. Frustration, grief, numbness, dread. You don’t need to filter it. You don’t need to have the words yet. We’ll find them together.

One client once told me: “This screen feels like the only place in my life where I can be completely unmasked.” That’s what this space can be — not perfect, not always easy, but real.

Some clients are surprised by how real and close it becomes — not in spite of the screen, but because there’s nothing to perform. No polished waiting room, no curated energy. Just the truth of where you are.

Therapy From Anywhere in Switzerland

You don’t have to live in a big city to access good therapy. Whether you’re in Geneva or Gstaad, St. Gallen or Sion — online therapy makes it possible to get consistent, emotionally grounded support without uprooting your day.

This is especially important for internationals, remote workers, or parents with limited childcare. You don’t need to sacrifice real therapy because your life doesn’t fit a clinical schedule.

You can meet from your kitchen table, your parked car, or a bench at the edge of a quiet park. What matters is that you show up — and that I do, too.

We work with what’s here. And we begin from there.
