UNTIL YOU MAKE THE UNCONSCIOUS CONSCIOUS, IT WILL DIRECT YOUR LIFE AND YOU WILL CALL IT FATE

What Psychological Counselling Does For You

Welcome. My name is Gregor, I provide guidance for individuals, teams and organizations in developing their skills, unlocking their potential, and navigating times of change competently and with a clear focus on achieving their goals.

Nearly half of people in Switzerland say mental health is one of their top health priorities. Many describe emotions like anxiety or inner tension that gets in the way of their career, relationships, goals and inner balance.

I assist people in growing beyond old limitations, overcoming personal difficulties and determining their own values. I offer a safe space where you can explore your challenges, gain self-efficacy, and discover your own way with clarity.

My Approach to Mental & Health & Psychological Counseling

I draw on a blend of evidence-based and widely-accepted approaches, including Psychoanalysis, Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Inner Child Work (ICW) and the St. Galler Coaching Model (SCM).

Before becoming a counselor, I worked as a scientist, consultant, and manager guiding individuals and organizations through complex change. Today, I bring that experience into my work by supporting personal transformation on a deeper level.

You are not alone in the process. Together we reflect on thoughts, actions, values and goals. You maintain control, while I provide guidance.

What Our Sessions Look Like

Sessions are thoughtful, paced and clear. Most adults find structure helpful. Here is a simple overview:

  1. First Meeting – In the beginning, we talk about why you came and what matters.

  2. Exploration – We trace patterns that keep you stuck.

  3. Development – We build practical skills and strategies.

  4. Reflection – We review progress and adapt.


Sessions usually last about 50 minutes. The rhythm varies with goals and needs.

Let’s work together to create meaningful, sustainable change in your life.

Is Psychological Counselling Suitable For You?

Not every concern needs therapy. But it can matter when work stress feels constant, sleep, or mood suffer, self-doubt limits your choices, or life feels less meaningful than it should.

In Switzerland, about one in six people experience mental illness each year. Roughly 30 % face psychological challenges serious enough to affect daily life.

Clinical conditions like anxiety or depression are real and treatable. Therapy is not only for crisis.

Who I Work With and Who This Is Not For

This space is for adults who want to understand themselves better, want a meaningful life, seek sustainable change, or are willing to reflect rather than chase quick tips.

It is not a crisis hotline. It is not a space for urgent safety intervention. If you are in immediate danger, please contact local emergency services.

Cost & Basic Insurance Coverage

My psychology services are aimed at self-payers and are not covered by basic insurance. Please check with your supplementary insurance provider to see if you are eligible for cost coverage.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many sessions are needed?

It depends on your goals. Some adults work for a few weeks, others longer.

Can I do online therapy?

Yes. Online therapy is widely accepted and useful for many people.

How do I start?

Book a free intro session or contact the practice directly.

Is Psychological Counselling Replace Psychotherapy?

No. There is a clear difference between my approach as psychological counsellor and a psychotherapist. Counselling is based on reflection, personal development, and coping with life challenges. Psychotherapy is a medical treatment for diagnosed mental health conditions. If psychotherapy is indicated, this will be addressed openly and responsibly.
