Therapists in St Gallen
Whatever difficulties you are experiencing, I am here to help you through a cognitive-behavioural and systemic approaches. That means, I see the person as a part of a system, that is performing several roles (brother/sister, colleague, mother/father, friend, boss, etc). Each one of these roles might be more or less affected by the problem, and modifying one role might impact the rest.

I work with growth-oriented people who are done spinning their wheels, i.e., if you've been dealing with anxiety, burnout, overthinking, perfectionism, and that quiet exhaustion of holding it all together, you're in good hands.
My background is in psychology and cognitive-affective neuroscience, and since 2021 I've built my own coaching practice that draws on that foundation alongside hypnosis, NLP, somatic work, and subconscious-focused techniques.
The goal isn't more insight for insight's sake; it's insight you can actually put into practice so you experience real change.

I work with adults who notice recurring patterns in relationships, self-doubt or emotional overwhelm that do not seem to shift. You may understand why these patterns developed, yet still feel stuck in them. Perhaps you feel pulled in different directions, disconnected from your needs, or unsure how to move forward. Many of my clients are used to coping alone or thinking things through, but want support to connect more fully with their emotions, needs and relationships.

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.
