Life Transitions
Relocation, separation, career change, loss, becoming a parent — changes that ask for deep inner adjustment and emotional adaptation.
Psychological Counselling in Zug, Zürich & Online
A Space to Regain Inner Clarity, Stability, and Direction
M.Sc. Psychology · Somatic Experiencing® Practitioner · Systemic Counsellor
Confidential, tailored support through burnout, anxiety, emotional overload, and complex life transitions, for individuals and couples who carry a lot.
In German and English, for clients in Switzerland and internationally.
Sometimes life keeps moving while something inside no longer feels right. Outwardly, you may be functioning, while inwardly navigating exhaustion, restlessness, or a quiet sense of losing touch with yourself.
I guide individuals and couples through emotionally demanding times, helping you regulate your nervous system, break through entrenched patterns, and reconnect with what truly matters to you.
This work is not about fixing what is broken. It is about creating a reflective space to better understand yourself and move toward a life aligned with your values.
“Theresa creates a space that feels safe, grounded, and deeply supportive. Through her guidance I've become more resilient, more present — and more myself again.”
“What moved me most was how authentically present Theresa is as a person. Her body-oriented approach helped me feel and understand my emotions again.”
Areas of focus
Who this space is for
For people at meaningful crossroads — when the old no longer holds, and the new isn't tangible yet.
Identity & Orientation
Periods of uncertainty, reorientation, and questions of meaning, purpose, and life direction.
Overwhelm & Burnout
Recognising the early signs of burnout, regulating sustained stress, and finding your way back to connection and balance.
Emotional & Nervous System Regulation
Working with worry, inner restlessness, and physical stress responses — and with emotional experiences too heavy to carry alone.
Relationship Challenges & Couples
Moving through entrenched patterns, easing emotional distance, improving communication, and resolving conflict constructively.
Expat & International Life
What it means to live between countries, cultures, and shifting social worlds. Counselling for expats and international couples in English and German — working online with people in Switzerland, Germany and beyond.
There is no single way through. What matters is that you do not have to work it out on your own.
My approach
Systemic. Somatic. Integrative.
I combine scientifically grounded perspectives — systemic counselling, Somatic Experiencing®, parts work, and mindfulness-based approaches — with an integrative stance and deep respect for each person's individual story and inner resources.
01 Understand Patterns
Understand recurring behavioural and relational patterns, and create room for something new.
02 Regulate the Nervous System
Gently release stress held in the body, to become calmer and more present again.
03 Resolve Inner Conflict
Bring conflicting needs and inner parts into alignment.
04 Align Life & Values
Realign your actions and decisions with what truly matters to you.
Modalities I draw from
- Systemic Therapy
- Somatic Experiencing®
- Internal Family Systems
- Acceptance & Commitment Therapy
- Mindfulness & Compassion-based approaches
I draw on these approaches within psychological counselling. I do not offer psychotherapy and I am not a psychotherapist.
Psychological counselling is a shared process. You remain the expert on your own life; I accompany you with professional expertise, empathy, and fresh perspectives.
