When Insight Is Not Enough: Therapy That Works With the Body, the Nervous System, and the Deeper Questions of Being Alive. Many people I work with are thoughtful, self-aware, and capable — yet they feel chronically tense, emotionally overwhelmed, disconnected, frustrated, or quietly empty. They may have read the books, reflected deeply, and understood their history, but something essential has not shifted. My work is for those moments when understanding alone no longer brings relief, and when the question becomes not only what happened to me, but how do I come back into a felt sense of being alive and create from that space.

You’re high-functioning, yet internally, you’re trapped by hyper-criticism and the weight of "doing enough." In a world where emotional suppression is the norm, you’ve mastered performing while carrying the silent exhaustion of burnout, familial friction, and impossible standards. You need more than just "coping skills". You need a grounded space to untangle the roots of your overwhelm. My goal is to help you move from chronic overcommitment toward genuine agency and self-trust. We start with a human-to-human connection, to find a balance between your drive and your well-being.

To most people, the word trauma may be terrifying. In reality, it simply refers to a negative overwhelming experience or experiences. Overwhelming? Yes, any kind of overpowering experiences that cause extreme distress to the body, emotions, thoughts and mental states. These drive our physical and mental systems into survival modes of fight, flight or freeze in order to manage situations that are threatening or jeopardize survival. When left unaddressed, these modes may become the new operating system. Overtime, a traumatized person may get so used to operating in this mode, and it becomes an auto-pilot or default mode for them.

Outwardly, you live a seemingly perfect life—beautiful family, loving partner, successful career. But deep down inside, you’re falling apart, weighed down by the pressures of making decisions for yourself, afraid to make the wrong decisions. You yearn to confide in someone, yet there are some things you can’t share with family. Although surrounded by friends, you question if they truly care or even understand your struggles. And so, to protect yourself, you keep everyone out, building walls to shield your demons and despair—only to feel more lost and isolated, leaving you to question your identity and existence in this world.

I work with clients seeking a sense of safety and resolution – in mind and body. While talk-based therapy has important merits, neuroscience shows that addressing the mind is insufficient. Healing truly happens when we address the body and nervous system. This is the work I do with clients to heal at the root, to find a felt-sense of ease and safety. I work with clients struggling with trauma, anxiety, depression, addiction, interpersonal issues, workplace challenges, existential crises and more. Many of them have gone through talk-based, cognitive-behavioural therapy and still felt stuck – if this is you, you're not alone.

At some points in our life we may be stuck in the way we think, feel and behave and this starts affecting our lifestyle and relationships. Thus, we need some help to disentangle ourselves from our web of fears and anxieties to move forward.

I specialise in addiction, self-destructive patterns, adult ADHD, and relationship difficulties. This includes issues such as drinking or using more than intended, compulsive or impulsive behaviours, difficulty controlling emotions, and repeating patterns that create problems in daily life and relationships. I also work with anxiety, panic attacks, OCD, and insomnia, including CBT-I. In couples therapy, I specialise in high-conflict relationships, recurring arguments, and trust issues. Because most of my work takes place in a residential rehabilitation clinic in Switzerland, my private appointments are limited.

It’s not one of those days, when it’s almost everyday you feel low and empty. You can’t quite remember when it began, maybe years ago and it never really went away. Your fuel is depleting fast, your mind is begging for a relief. You want to do everything yet nothing feels right. Your past keeps resurfacing, you thought you had already made sense of it, so why is it still here? Your chest feels tight, your heart races, you hardly recognise yourself anymore. You only know something has to change, this can’t keep hurting the way it does.

Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter, and those who matter don't mind (Quote Fritz Perls). Gestalt therapy has the flexibility in its approach to help hold space for the whites/blacks and greys of life. Together, therapist and client can journey to help you deepen your own perspective of yourself and better understand how you function as an organism/environment field - a biological, thinking, feeling being - and do both inner, and relational work to support you with the challenges that present themselves in your life at this given moment.

Female Counsellors
Does it matter what gender my therapist is?
In general, there is no relationship between a therapist’s gender and their efficacy. Some clients, however, prefer to see therapists of a particular gender, whether due to their own past experiences with men and women, or because they feel more comfortable with a therapist of their own gender due to shared life experiences or perspectives. Considering what one wants to address in therapy can help someone determine whether their therapist’s gender may matter or improve their therapeutic experience. The most important consideration is that a client is able to build a trusting relationship with their therapist.

Should I see a female therapist?
Many people—not just women—prefer to see a female therapist. For women, this could be because they believe that they will be able to better connect with a woman, and that a female therapist will be able to relate to their specific challenges and personal issues. It may be particularly beneficial for women to see a female therapist, for example, for gender-specific issues, such as sexism in the workplace, relationship issues, and gender roles. The most important factor in therapy is the client-therapist connection, and a therapist's gender as well as many other factors may play an important role in this.

Do therapists get specific training to help with women’s concerns?
Therapists are trained to provide care to clients of any gender. However, some therapists may pursue additional training in feminist therapy, gender-specific issues, or women’s mental health. Female clients may wish to ask prospective therapists whether they have received specific training in the client’s primary area(s) of concern, or whether they have worked extensively with women on issues similar to their own.

How can I inquire about a therapist’s experience in treating women?
It’s OK—even encouraged!—to ask a therapist directly whether and how often they have treated women in the past, or whether they have treated women dealing with the client’s most prominent concern(s). Competent therapists will be happy to share their educational background, preferred treatment modalities, and prior client experience to help an individual find the therapist best suited to their needs.
