Many parents seek answers when they notice differences in their child’s attention, communication, social interactions, or emotional and behavioral development. They may wonder whether their child has ADHD or autism, or simply want to better understand their child’s needs. I provide psychological assessments and individualized support to help families gain a clearer understanding of their child’s strengths and challenges and identify the most appropriate next steps.

Hi, I’m Franziska, a Swiss-licensed psychotherapist.
I work with women who have learned to push through, but internally struggle with self-doubt, a sense of not being good enough, and feeling overwhelmed by the expectations of work and motherhood.
Many of the women I work with are well reflected and self-aware. They often understand where their patterns come from but still find themselves reacting in ways they don’t fully understand and can't seem to shift on their own.
This is often the point where they choose to reach out for support.

"We live life forwards, but only understand it backwards" - Søren Kirgegaard. As a systemic counsellor and therapist, I always see people as part of a system. What they experience there, which values are represented and how they communicate with each other decisively shapes us. Like a mobile, every link and every movement has an influence on the rest of the system. This way of looking at things helps us to look at our own system from a distance, to better understand its origins and connections and to initiate appropriate changes.

I work with young adults, adults and couples who feel stuck in recurring relationship patterns, conflict or distance, changes in desire or intimacy, sexual concerns, questions around relationship agreements or consensual non-monogamy, and periods of stress, burnout or major life transition.

I am a certified systemic counsellor specialising in working with expats and binational couples. English is my mother tongue, I am also fluent in German.

The goal is to understand yourself, your triggers and your behavioural or relationship patterns, and to implement changes, often small, to enable you to live a more positive and fulfilling life and enjoy more harmonious relationships.

We experience difficulties in different ways. Often people seek therapy when they have been feeling feeling more anxious, stressed or frustrated more than usual, sometimes indicating a life transition such as relationship problems or difficulties at work. At other times clients get in touch when they noticed that something does not feel good but are still unsure of the reasons that may lie beneath and are keen to develop insight. We will build a shared understanding of current difficulties, and together will identify your hopes, goals and needsI draw from psychological evidence-based approaches to inform your unique treatment plan.

Knowing what to do and being able to do it are often two very different things. You may know you should stop overthinking, break harmful patterns, or cut back on drinking, yet keep finding yourself back in the same place. I specialise in addictions (alcohol, drugs, prescription medication), adult ADHD, ERP therapy for OCD and panic attacks, and CBT-I for insomnia. Together, we can work on what keeps you stuck, so you can take back control of your life instead of being driven by difficult thoughts, feelings and urges.

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.
