People come to counselling for many different reasons. Sometimes it’s in response to a specific challenge, and other times it’s simply a sense that things aren’t feeling manageable on your own. You don’t need to have the right words or a clear explanation to begin. What matters most is having a space where you feel heard, understood, and supported at your own pace, without judgement or pressure to know what comes next. I offer a calm, steady, and non-judgmental counselling space where we take time to understand what’s been weighing on you. Sessions are guided by what feels most important and manageable to you.

Using CBT and ACT, I focus on practical, structured work that leads to real change in daily life, often within a few focused sessions.
Knowing what to do and being able to do it are often two very different things. You may already know you should cut back on drinking, stop overthinking, let go of obsessive thoughts, sleep more consistently, or handle conflict differently, yet you keep finding yourself back in the same place. My work focuses on understanding why some behaviours and thoughts persist and helping you change them using practical, research-backed approaches. Alongside my private practice, I work at a Swiss inpatient rehabilitation clinic treating addictions and mental health conditions (OCD, panic attacks, ADHD).

Using person-centred therapy, CBT and ACT, I offer an affirming, sex-positive and kink-aware space where you can explore challenges honestly, reduce shame and build meaningful change.
Many of the men and couples I work with have spent years trying to hold everything together. They may be living with anxiety, burnout, loneliness, relationship difficulties, or questions about identity and belonging. Some are navigating coming out later in life, open relationships, intimacy concerns, or changing family dynamics. Others simply want a place where they do not have to explain what it means to be a gay or queer man. Together we explore what is keeping them stuck, reduce the impact of shame and self-criticism, and build greater confidence, connection and emotional wellbeing.

Acceptance and Commitment (ACT) Therapists
How does acceptance and commitment therapy work?
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy encourages a person to listen to their self-talk. A person’s inner dialog can be indicative of how they treat themselves. ACT also encourages self-compassion; this can lead to a better understanding of negative thought patterns and emotional states. This understanding can then lead the individual to needed behavior change.
What are the goals of acceptance and commitment therapy?
The goal of acceptance and commitment is to expand a person’s psychological flexibility, a trait that encourages an individual to live in the present moment and to accept all their thoughts, feelings, and emotions, even ones that are difficult such as sadness and anxiety. In ACT, this acceptance is congruent with the individual’s values and beliefs.
Does acceptance and commitment therapy work for depression?
Acceptance and commitment therapy is effective for depression because it allows the individual to view their discomfort and suffering differently. Depressive feelings about relationship heartaches, for example, are a part of life. A despondent person learns to let go of their struggles and instead view their painful thoughts and feelings with compassion. This will lead the individual toward positive change.
How long are people typically in acceptance and commitment therapy?
A typical acceptance and commitment therapy session is 50 minutes long with one session per week. Treatment for common problems such as anxiety, depression, or relationship difficulties can last between eight weeks to four months. However, more severe cases may require more than one session a week and/or a longer time frame for treatment.
