Adults Therapists in Geneva

I work with adults in Geneva and surrounding areas who are looking for an English-speaking therapist. Are you are struggling with a change in your life or with unsettling emotions that are difficult to make sense of? Perhaps you are in the middle of a life transition or perhaps you feel that you are stuck in a repetitive and dull place where it feels hard to move? Are you a pregnant woman or a parent of an infant and want some support with the variety of feelings that come with pregnancy and parenthood? Have you moved to Switzerland and are struggling to settle?

Nice to meet you! My name is Marie-Alix and I enjoy providing a confidential space for people to feel heard, safe, and understood. I create this space by listening to your story with kindness, acceptance and curiosity. I also believe in practical help and therefore will, when appropriate, proactively give you actionable tools to assist your growth. My main goal is to guide you towards feeling confidently autonomous so that ideally you no longer need counseling. Surely, you are always welcome to return as life inevitably takes us through different stages generating new challenges and opportunities for further learning.

My way of working focuses on (re)connecting our minds, hearts and bodies so that we can have more ease when relating to ourselves, others and the various aspects of our lives. I work with older adolescents, young adults and adults , and also with parent - child relationships. I'll commit to having a collaborative and respectful therapeutic relationship with you where you are the expert in your own inner world and life experiences. I'm here to support you to explore what is getting in the way of you having what you most want for yourself. We will look back on your life, but will mostly work on your experiences in the here and now.

Life can be challenging and we sometimes find ourselves overwhelmed and stressed by day-to-day events or our personal circumstances. Counselling can help you with a wide range of issues such as anxiety and depression, trauma, grief, issues in relationships and other personal concerns. I would welcome the chance of working with you to help with any issues you may have. I offer counselling for adults , adolescents (from age 16 and above), and couples, in a supportive and caring environment both in person and online. Please don’t hesitate to contact me if you have any questions.

I offer psychological counseling and intervention to children, adolescents, and adults in English and Portuguese. A space for personal growth aimed at promoting well-being and enhancing coping strategies for situations such as anxiety, depressive mood, interpersonal issues, low self-esteem, adapting to changes, among others.

I am a counsellor with a specialist interest in learning difficulties, Autism spectrum and psychosomatic health problems/pain. Change is possibly the most challenging thing that an adult person may face. We love routines and patterns. It provides a level of comfort in our already busy lives. For those who already struggle with anxiety, depression, PTSD or any mental health difficulties, even a small change may be just overwhelming. As your psychosocial counsellor, I will help you to achieve the change you desire, whether it is a small or a big one.

My work style is based on the cognitive-behavioral approach and the inner child theory. I specialize in difficulties with interpersonal relationships but also the relationship with oneself. I help my clients to get in touch with their inner child, learn how to listen to their emotions, how to validate them, and how to autoregulate in a safe, healthy way. I also help them with escaping vicious circles. To do so, we work together on the problematic behaviors and beliefs relying on openness, kindness, and lack of judgment.

Are you feeling stressed and overwhelmed?  Are you carrying a lot of emotions that are difficult to hold alone?  Are you feeling stuck while something inside of you is pushing away the very thing you long for? I can help you build a deeper connection with yourself, heal old wounds, and bring about lasting changes that will open up more options and possibilities.

Are you struggling with repetitive pattern, or symptoms, emotional, affective or psychological issues ? Rather than taking medication and treating the issue on the surface, would you prefer to better understand why this is happening to you, and why it happens ?

My work focuses on qualitative change, and for that we'll analyze things under the surface.
