Processing our challenges helps them have less of an impact on daily living in our various areas of life: home with our family or partner, at work and in our social life.
I offer English Speaking Counseling Services to Expats living in Basel, Switzerland. Living abroad is exciting, challenging and much more. Both new and existing challenges can be more difficult to manage while living outside your home country. Our problems can be magnified due to a lack of support system, cultural barriers and misunderstandings. Finding a resource who understands this, someone that can provide counseling services from a multi-cultural perspective can be daunting. If you are looking for an English Speaking Counselor in Basel, see my website for more information. I offer my services in my Basel office and virtually.

Hi, I’m Franziska, a Swiss-licensed psychotherapist.
I work with women who have learned to push through, but internally struggle with self-doubt, a sense of not being good enough, and feeling overwhelmed by the expectations of work and motherhood.
Many of the women I work with are well reflected and self-aware. They often understand where their patterns come from but still find themselves reacting in ways they don’t fully understand and can't seem to shift on their own.
This is often the point where they choose to reach out for support.

We experience difficulties in different ways. Often people seek therapy when they have been feeling feeling more anxious, stressed or frustrated more than usual, sometimes indicating a life transition such as relationship problems or difficulties at work. At other times clients get in touch when they noticed that something does not feel good but are still unsure of the reasons that may lie beneath and are keen to develop insight. We will build a shared understanding of current difficulties, and together will identify your hopes, goals and needsI draw from psychological evidence-based approaches to inform your unique treatment plan.

Family Therapy Counsellors
What do family therapists do?
A family therapist facilitates the process of understanding and improving how a family functions. The therapist will help family members develop empathy for one another. They’ll seek to understand existing patterns, misunderstandings, and conflicts that arise, in order to help the family arrive at a realistic, unified understanding and develop the coping skills they need to build stronger relationships.
How long does therapy for families take to work?
Therapy manifests differently in every family; a common time frame is 12 weekly sessions, but some families may see improvement after just a few weeks. Families should discuss their goals with the therapist at the beginning of the process and periodically revisit those goals to assess their progress together.
How can you encourage a family member to attend family therapy?
You can encourage family members to attend therapy by expressing with both love and concern the challenges you see and explaining how a therapist could help the family navigate those challenges together. An outside perspective can help everyone feel heard, get on the same page, and develop new skills. If family members are still hesitant, it may be helpful to emphasize that family therapy is short-term—it won’t last forever.
Is therapy for families effective?
Family therapy can significantly improve family dynamics and relationships. Research suggests that family therapy can help individuals understand their role in the family, communicate and solve problems together, reduce conflict and draw boundaries when necessary, and develop coping skills for stressors, major life changes, and mental or physical illnesses within the family.
