EMDR Therapists in Lausanne
I offer an integrative and holistic approach to individual and couple counseling (AEDP, IFS, EMDR & EFT) that is evidenced-based, experiential, relational, brain-, emotion- and body-focused since latest research has shown that merely talking about or having insight about our problems doesn't change them.
I am an experienced psychologist specialized in providing individual and couple counseling to expats, immigrants, intercultural couples and international souls, living in Zürich, and around the world. Several studies, and my own professional and personal experience, indicate that despite what you might gain from building a life in a country that offers more possibilities and opportunities on various levels; these potentially positive sides are also accompanied by losses, vulnerabilities and various potentially traumatic experiences, particularly challenging for those with a background already marked by neglect, abuse or violence.

Life transitions—becoming a mother, moving abroad, changing roles in work or
relationships—can shift how we see ourselves. Sometimes these changes bring confusion,
emotional overload, or a quiet sense of being lost. It can feel like you’re carrying a lot
internally, even if it’s hard to explain to others.

EMDR Counsellors
Who is EMDR for?
EMDR was initially developed as a treatment for individuals with Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), for whom memories of a deeply distressing experience can be inadvertently triggered by random everyday events. The procedure has since been applied in the treatment of many other conditions. For example, it is used by some therapists to treat anxiety disorders including panic and phobias, depression, dissociative disorders, eating disorders, obsessive-compulsive disorders, and some personality disorders. It is suitable for adolescents and adults.
Why do people need EMDR?
People need EMDR as a way to manage distressing memories that in some way hamper the ability to function in the present. The procedure is believed to target the way memories are stored in the brain. Evidence indicates that past disturbing experiences cause ongoing distress because they were not adequately processed, and when such memories are triggered in the present, they are accompanied by all the emotions, thoughts, and physical sensations as the initial experience.
What problems does EMDR treat?
First and foremost, EMDR is intended as a treatment for PTSD, to defuse distressing memories that intrude on and impair everyday functioning. It is also often used to help those who are subject to panic attacks, phobias, and other forms of anxiety. In addition, EMDR has been used to treat individuals with depression, eating disorders, and personality disorders.
What happens in EMDR therapy?
First the therapist takes an individual’s history, and then the therapist and client decide which distressing experience(s) will be the target(s) of the exercise, delivered via a side-to-side visual stimulus requiring lateral eye movements. The client will be asked to activate thoughts, feelings, and any body sensations related to the troubling experience. The eye movements are said to reduce the emotional charge of the memory, so that the experience can then be safely discussed with the therapist and digested, minimising its ability to trigger anxiety.
