We can all find life uncertain and overwhelming at times. Sometimes a crisis arises that feels unresolvable without professional help, or maybe events from the past weigh on us for no apparent reason. I have found the most common reasons to seek psychotherapy are related to depression, stress, anxiety, challenges with eating, and relationship problems. Experience shows that our psyche is able to bring itself back into balance and heal itself, given the right circumstances. Therapy provides a supportive environment to discuss such concerns, explore underlying causes and strengthen our ability to make desired life changes.

I work with individuals (16+) who are facing challenges or feeling stuck. Maybe you’re battling anxiety or self-doubt, you're exhausted or resentful from always putting others first, or you're facing a transition that has made your life feel uncertain. If you're ready for change but unsure where to start, I offer a supportive, nonjudgmental space where you can focus on you. I help clients build resilience, set healthy boundaries, and develop practical tools for managing stress and emotions. My goal is to help you reconnect with your strengths, restore balance, and feel more grounded in both your personal and professional life.

I have lived in Geneva since 2012 and I am a professional, licensed psychological counselor. I work together with my clients (adolescents and adults), mainly through talking therapy, on variety of issues they may experience and which they often “block” them to be fully connected with everyday life.

I believe therapy is indispensable for supporting healthy growth and change. It is a place where you can safely explore: what and what not is supporting you in your life, unhealthy behaviours and patterns, and begin to introduce positive changes. I believe it is a journey of self discovery, possibility and a commitment to oneself. Together we will explore the unconscious processes that block you from who you are meant to become. Hello, I'm Laura and a qualified Counsellor and Psychotherapist in Transactional Analysis (CTA), working with individuals and couples.

At different times in life we may encounter both external and internal difficulties and the psyche talks to us in various ways: sometimes through symptoms of insomnia or depression, anxiety or recurring thoughts, feelings of emptiness and despair - sometimes through inner questions of meaning, an urge to know more and wish to find our place. We may be confronted with personal dilemmas that seem unlikely to be solved, and feel trapped or imprisoned. Jungian psychoanalysis is a journey to find the roots of such difficulties, to better understand the meaning underlying our suffering and to help integrate these insights into our life.

Often, we can feel overwhelmed, stuck, or no longer like ourselves. This may show up as burnout, anxiety, or the impact of trauma, illness, or life transitions—even when we understand what’s happening. Many people I work with are navigating change, high-pressure environments, or life as an expat. Together, we create a grounded, supportive space to slow down and listen more deeply to both mind and body, helping you process what feels overwhelming, reconnect with yourself, and move forward with more stability and clarity.

Is online therapy a good option?
Therapy conducted online or over the phone can be just as effective as in-person therapy, as long as there is a strong alliance between the client and the therapist. To find a therapist who provides telehealth services to clients in your area, click “Online Therapy” on the directory homepage and search by your city or town or your postcode.
What’s the difference between a psychologist, a therapist, and a counsellor?
Therapists, psychologists, and counsellors are all licensed mental health professionals. In many countries, psychologists have earned a doctoral degree. The terms “therapist” and “counsellor” are used somewhat interchangeably, but generally therapists offer longer-term, mental health care, while counsellors offer shorter-term care that may focus on one domain, such as marriage, career, or academic challenges.
What type of therapist is right for me?
Clients should consider factors such as insurance coverage and their primary reason(s) for seeking therapy to determine the type of professional best suited to their needs. Someone struggling with mental health challenges such as depression or anxiety, for example, may wish to seek out a clinical psychologist or therapist, while someone navigating career obstacles or marital upheaval may benefit from seeing a counsellor who can offer short-term, targeted support.
Is everyone in the Psychology Today Therapy Directory a licensed therapist?
The Psychology Today directory lists providers who offer legitimate mental health services to the public, including psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, and counselors. Many have been licensed by the country where they practice; providers whose license or primary credential has been verified by Psychology Today are signified by a “Verified” symbol. Some clinicians or organizations provide services for which their state or country does not offer licenses, such as pastoral counselling. They may be selectively included without the “Verified” seal.
What type of therapy is right for me?
The type of therapy best suited to a particular individual depends on several factors, including their primary reason for seeking therapy, their preferred timeline (some therapy types last for a set number of sessions, while others are open-ended), and their personality and preferences—some may prefer a more structured approach. For many individuals, multiple types of therapy could provide a good fit.
Is online therapy cheaper than in-person therapy?
Many therapists charge the same amount for online therapy as they do for in-person therapy—though clients may still find this cost-effective if it cuts down on their transportation costs. Health insurance plans often offer equivalent coverage for online and in-person therapy; indeed, in many places, they are legally required to do so. Text-based or on-demand therapy apps may be cheaper than traditional one-on-one psychotherapy; however, the practice may be less effective and is not likely to be covered by insurance.
