Licensed Psychologist

“The Expat Psychologist is a psychological practice that provides psychological counselling, testing & workshops to the English speaking community in Switzerland. I can help with: anxiety, sadness, stress, burnout, grief, relationship problems, low self esteem, missing friends & family, "The Expat Blues", & more.”

About Me

The Expat Psychologist offers compassionate support for English-speaking individuals in Switzerland. This practice understands the unique emotional landscape of expat life. It helps clients navigate feelings like anxiety, sadness, or 'The Expat Blues'. Through tailored Counseling and workshops, we explore challenges such as stress, burnout, or missing home. Sessions provide a dedicated space to process experiences, offering practical tools to build resilience and foster a sense of belonging in a new environment.

Approach

You’ll find sessions blend gentle curiosity with practical structure, helping you name what matters and try small experiments between meetings. In Vevey or online, in English or French, we pace work to fit school, family and work rhythms—sometimes slowing to breathe, sometimes using short focused assessments to clarify patterns and next steps. Therapy feels collaborative and task-oriented, with grounding practices and reflective tasks that carry into daily life. This way of working suits people wanting steady, practical change while navigating life far from home.
