English Speaking Psychologist in Zurich, Switzerland
Support and Counseling for Expats
Welcome to My Website: Your Space for Listening and Support
Are you an expat living in Zurich or elsewhere in Switzerland, seeking psychological support in Italian or English? I am an Italian psychologist specializing in helping people who, like you, find themselves far from their home country and in need of a professional and cultural point of reference in their new environment.
Why Choose an Italian Psychologist in Zurich?
Linguistic and cultural comfort: Sharing the same language with your psychologist allows you to express your emotions more authentically. Likewise, having the same cultural roots helps in understanding personal and family dynamics.
Experience with expat life: Living abroad often involves challenges such as adapting to new customs, feeling homesick, or experiencing social isolation. Having worked closely with international clients, I offer a targeted approach to the issues related to expat life.
Flexibility: I provide in-person consultation sessions at my office in Thalwil Zurich, as well as online sessions. This way, you can continue therapy from anywhere in Switzerland or around the world, maintaining consistent and professional contact.
Services and Areas of Expertise
Stress and Anxiety Management Using relaxation techniques and cognitive restructuring, I address anxiety disorders and periods of high stress, which are often common among those who have moved to a new country.
Cultural Adaptation and Identity Feeling torn between two cultures can create confusion or a fragmented sense of belonging. I help expats find balance and appreciate the wealth of experiences offered by living in different cultural contexts.
Relationships and Family When the whole family moves to Switzerland, relationship challenges may arise, such as differing perceptions of roles or children’s feelings of isolation in a new environment. I provide targeted psychological support for these situations.
Support During Times of Crisis A bereavement, a separation, or job loss in a foreign country can be even more destabilizing. A therapeutic journey helps restore emotional balance and manage difficulties with greater resilience.
How Therapy Sessions Work in Zurich
Initial Consultation: A chance to get to know each other and assess your needs.
Defining Therapeutic Goals: We will establish a personalized plan based on your concerns and expectations.
Frequency and Duration: Sessions can be weekly, depending on your needs. Each appointment lasts approximately 50 minutes.
Online Option: If you prefer or are unable to visit the office in person, we can conduct sessions via video call.
