Experienced counselor. Equipped to help individuals, couples or families providing proven approaches to problems, while respecting every person’s individuality. Having lived in different parts of the world, I can relate with various issues, cultures, backgrounds and identities | www.bgs-tc.com

About Me

I offer a calm, respectful space for individuals, couples, or families seeking support. Drawing on proven approaches, I help you explore challenges while honouring your unique individuality. Having lived across different cultures and backgrounds, I bring a broad understanding to our sessions. This experience allows me to truly relate to diverse issues and identities, helping you feel deeply understood. We can work together towards solutions that fit your life.

Approach

We start by mapping your immediate concerns and personal strengths, then agree on focused goals that fit your rhythm and cultural context. Sessions—in Lausanne or online, in Dutch, English, French or Italian—move at a steady, collaborative pace: practical steps, gentle reflection and time to process emotions. Between meetings I may suggest brief exercises or assessments to clarify choices around work, relationships or identity. This way of working often suits people facing career shifts, divorce, identity questions or burnout who want respectful, results-focused support.
