Let’s make getting professional help easy: There are several ways we can work on your concern: on location, via Zoom or by phone. The goal is always the same: your life should feel lighter and more joyful. There is simply no reason why you should tackle your challenges alone.

Holistic Counseling for Couples and Individuals

On Location

A classic counselling session for individuals or couples. My practice is located at Haldenstrasse 5 in Baar in the historic spinning company. The sessions take 50 or 90 minutes.

On Zoom

A great option for those who are busy and need extra flexibilty. You get the same level of professional help in your 50 minute or 90 minute session as on location. Available for couples and individuals.

On the Telephone

You’re not quite ready for an in person meeting? No problem! Many concerns can be easily discussed on the phone and this quick and easy way of getting support can provide a big relief in stressful times.

Appointments can be arranged Monday through Saturday. Conveniently book your session online:

Contact me if you if you have problems using the online booking tool (it’s in German only). I’ll gladly get in touch with you via email.

Fees

50-minute-sessions are 170 Swiss francs (individuals) or 190 Swiss francs (couples). 90-minute-sessions are 280 Swiss francs (individuals) or 310 Swiss francs (couples). Couples usually fare better with longer sessions, specially for the first appointment.

Counselling over the phone or email is charged at actual cost. Counselling over the phone starts at a 25 minute session for 90 francs. After that the session is charged at expenditure of time for 17 Swiss francs for 5 minutes.

The bill for your session will be sent to you by email. Appointments cancelled less than 24 hours in advance can be charged fully. Counselling is not covered by health insurance at this time.

Please feel free to contact me if you have limited financial resources. Let’s discuss on what terms you might be able to tackle your situation anyway.

About me

Qualifications and Counseling Work

My work is based on me two Master’s degrees: one in Psychology, Psychopathology and Linguistics at the University of Zürich, the other in Sexology at ISP Uster in cooperation with University of Applied Sciences Merseburg (D).

I’m the author of the three German books «Was Paare stark macht», «Guter Sex» and «Das Paar-Date».

For ten years I’ve been working as «Switzerland’s Ruth Westheimer» as the author of and counselor at the advise section «Love, Sex and Relationship» at Swiss daily newspaper Blick. Thousands of questions and millions of clicks later I now focus on counseling off-media.

I’m still a sought-after expert in swiss media, working for print, radio and TV/video. I’ve completed an externship in Emotion Focused Therapy (EFT) in Zürich and regularly work as speaker for all kinds of companies and institutions.

One of my great passions is the CANTIENICA®-method I train with, teach and continuously educate myself in. You can read more about CANTIENICA®-method and why I love working with this method on my page (German only) or get more information at the CANTIENICA®-institute .

What I Believe in

Understanding Helps

Let’s figure out together how you function in life and love. Because if you know what mechanisms are behind a certain behavior and experience, you’ll have more clarity and control.

Investing in Yourself Should Feel Good

Having problems is never fun. But moving away from them should be. At least a tiny little bit. Tackling your issues can still be challenging. Some «care-frontation» might be needed, uncomfortable questions may have to be answered, and difficult feelings may arise, but I’m a firm believer that counseling should also be fun and uplifting, if only for brief moments every session.

Your Body Is Smart

Your body is so much more than just a vessel to carry your lovely brain. It has great, often silent knowledge. It’s your best friend, even in moments when it feels like it might work against you. Once you understand that your body and mind are an amazing team, you can combine all their strengths and make the most of them. This is why it’s absolutely crucial to me to follow a holistic counseling approach, working with both mind and body.

Get New Perspectives

It’s fine to look for answers and solutions in our counseling sessions. And I do promise, you will find them. But I also want to invite you to find peace in the fact that sometimes the best thing that can happen to you is simply gaining a new perspective on something. Seeing things clearer – or just differently – helps you to see where you really stand and define small, wholesome steps that truly bring you towards your goal.

You Don’t Have to Face Your Problems Alone

There’s no reason why you’d have to tackle your problems and questions on your own. I don’t believe that any situation is ever hopeless or that there are things too embarrassing to talk about in our safe space. Let’s talk about what’s bugging you. You’ll feel lighter and more capable to tackle any challenge.

Find your own «normal»

Many people are afraid that something is fundamentally wrong with the way they feel, look, act or think. They want nothing more than to fit in. Quite often their expectation of what is normal is not only surprisingly limited, it can also be quite far off what actually suits them and makes them happy. Let’s figure out what’s best for you so you can invest in your personal best.

Principles of Sexual Counseling

Body and mind form an inseparable unit in every human being. What we think and feel influences our body, and what happens in the body shapes our cognitive experience. As soon as we see through this connection and begin to treat body and mind as a team, many things in life run more smoothly and harmoniously.

In my sexual counseling I work with the Sexocorporel approach. The method was founded by Canadian Jean-Yves Desjardins and addresses all aspects and components that make up human sexuality. This includes the physical body, our knowledge and thinking, our personal experience, and how we interact with others.

In the center of the counseling according to the Sexocorporel approach is the concern of the person seeking advice. In a joint conversation we clarify how this concern is connected to all other existing aspects of your body, mind, experience and social circle.

When we get a sense of the network in which not only our sexuality but our whole being is organized, we can understand why we experience certain things and how we can smoothly implement change.

The most important thing to know is: A pleasurable, fulfilling sexuality can be learned. And the capability to learn and bloom lasts a lifetime.
