Gestalttherapy in Zurich
Even if it seems that you are having a really bad time now.
Because when you are going to visit a psychologist, it means that you are finally ready to change something. And the first step is already done - changes have begun. Our task now is to continue this process and to give it a new development.

In my opinion, coming to a psychologist is a great way to return to a feeling of a solid ground beneath your feet, a way to be supported, to see the situation from a new point of view and to feel confidence and joyfulness in your life.
IF YOU'RE HERE IT MEANS YOUR LIFE HAS ALREADY STARTED TO CHANGE for THE BEST
I work as a psychologist more than 15 years.

MY EDUCATION

More than 9 years I'm studying gestalt-therapy.

Each year I visit some conferenseces, attend courses in gestalt approach about wide variety of specific topics. I cooperate with other psychologists from all over the world.

Currently I'm participating in a longterm program for supervisors from Italian Gestalt Institute (Istituto di Gestalt HCC Italy).

Different programms, focused on specific clinical issues.

Set of trainings and more than 7 years of experience in a field of group psychotherapy.

My education is acknowledged in Switzerland.
One consultation is 55-60 minutes.

During the session we're talking about themes, which are important for you personally or which bother you. Sometimes I may suggest some experiments or excercises in order to find a new perspective or to explore some patterns deeper.

We can meet in person in Zurich in a therapy room at Grossmünsterplatz or online - via Skype, Google.Meet or Zoom.
Price for one consultation is - 150 CHF in person and
130 CHF - online

If it is an online consultation you can pay after it via PayPal (I will send you an invoice) or IBAN.
