Counsellor, MA

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.

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.

The private practice will offer you a warm and caring place to build skills and enhance your personal growth. Therapy is a guided process of self-discovery. Whether it begins in response to a traumatic event or at a time when positive change is sought, old patterns of behavior and thinking can stand in the way of healthy communication and feelings. Therapy provides access to strengthen skills so that new and healthier thoughts, feelings and behaviors take the place of old unhealthy ones.

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?

Counsellor, MSc

You may be thinking about therapy due to depression, anxiety, loss, stress, burnout, relationship issues, life transitions such as parenthood and retirement. These concerns can feel more overwhelming when we live abroad in unfamiliar surroundings. Medication can provide short-term relief for emotional distress, but there are side effects. You may be concerned about how COVID 19 is affecting your work, your relationships and your life. This pandemic is challenging the world’s mental health in so many ways. You've been coping alone for a while and feel like having someone alongside you to explore your challenges.

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 ? With more than 23 year of private practice of psychotherapy, I can help you to cope with your situation and, most of the time, turn it into a positive experience. My work focuses on qualitative change, and for that we'll analyze things under the surface.

Individual counselling is helpful when you are in a state of chronic or intense unhappiness, discomfort, stress or anxiety, fear, fatigue, anger, hopelessness, etc...and you no longer want to be in that state. Individual therapy may be the first step toward positive change in your life. Couples decide to work with me when the following issues arise in their relationship: Emotional and/or physical infidelity; Communication breakdowns; Inability to resolve conflicts without fighting; Unmet emotional needs; Gradual loss of intimacy, affection, or sex; Mood disturbances (depression, anxiety); High stress levels, etc...

As a former diplomat, I know what challenges expatriates face, as well as professionals dealing with high-stress - primary responders, humanitarian workers, military personnel, etc. My clinical specialty and passion is helping individuals struggling with anxiety, PTSD, or relationship issues reconnect with their strengths to live a fulfilling, balanced life, in alignment with their values.
Jeeyoun Kim
Psychotherapist, MA, ASP
Verified
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.

I provide a uniquely safe, ethical, and confidential space dedicated to your relationships, for individuals and couples. Life has its ups and downs in relationships and right now you're feeling the pain. You may have been hurting for some time and holding it in; perhaps something new has happened to disturb or upset you emotionally and psychologically. You need to talk confidentially, to someone you can trust with all that's going on; someone who'll listen, be beside you, and support you in finding a way through; someone who's highly qualified and experienced in holding and helping heal what troubles you.
