I focus on helping individuals, couples, families and groups identify unconscious internal conflicts within themselves and in their relationships. Once these conflicts are made conscious, I help clients to articulate emotions, needs and beliefs. Then we can begin to work on building trust, securing safe attachments and increasing the ability for clients to give and receive love.
The most beautiful people we have known are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss, and have found their way out of the depths. These persons have an appreciation, a sensitivity, and an understanding of life that fills them with compassion, gentleness, and a deep loving concern.

My life has been a process of self-inquiry into the ever present "Now" where 'I am good enough'. I do believe that everything in life is always in relationship: nothing exists that is not defined by, and that does not gain its meaning through a relationship to something else.
My journey so far has brought me to the US, where I studied Anthropology; Singapore, where I studied Counselling and finally to Melbourne, where I completed my Masters in Counselling.As I am originally from Switzerland I speak fluent English, French and German. As a counsellor/psychotherapist I am called upon to respond to a vast range of human experiences.

All issues discussed with me in the course of our work are strictly confidential. My aim is to provide a safe, friendly and non-judgemental environment, in which you can explore personal situations in more depth. I also contribute to counselling trainings in university settings and provide supervision to both psychotherapists and trainee gestalt therapists as a PACFA accredit supervisor.
I often get asked: "at what point should I seek counselling?" My answer: "if you are not as happy as you could be." It really is that simple. All of us go through times in our lives when we encounter periods of stress causing us feelings of great discomfort. Another reason for seeking counselling is recognising patterns of behaviours that are not working, such as relationships ending badly in the same sort of way.
From our very early relationships, we learn that who we essentially are not always enough to get the kind of affirmation and love that we naturally crave. We learned to hide what we believed was unacceptable and to construct a way of being that we believed might get us the recognition that was our birthright.
