Welcome. I offer couples counselling in Geneva, Switzerland to all couples, regardless of sexual orientation, gender, relationship status, age, ability, neurodiversity and cultural, religious, racial or ethnic background.
I am an EFT-trained couples counsellor (emotionally focused couples therapy) with further training in relational couples therapy, the developmental model of couple therapy, and the Tavistock model of psychosexual studies. I have an interest in depression and the couple relationship, sex and intimacy and the impact of parenthood on couples.
What is couples counselling?
Couple, or relationship, counselling is a form of therapy which acknowledges the primacy of our most intimate relationships to our sense of individual wellbeing.
You might turn to therapy in response to a particular incident, or because of a gradual feeling of stalemate in your relationship.
You may be stuck in repetitive and destructive ways of communicating with your partner.
You and your partner might seek help to make sense of these patterns and, ultimately, to find a way of being together that feels more constructive and less destructive.
Why come to couples counselling?
People come to counselling for a variety of reasons, including:
- Communication difficulties,
- Commitment issues,
- Depression,
- Money problems,
- Issues with intimacy and sex,
- Relationships with family of origin,
- Stress,
- Job loss,
- Strain of migration, immigration and upheaval,
- Pregnancy and parenting,
