Mrs Marie-Alix Paltzer-Diwan, MA
Registered Counselor
“I enjoy providing a confidential space for people to feel heard, safe, and understood. I create this space by listening to your story with kindness, acceptance and curiosity. I support clients facing anxiety, trauma, relationship difficulties, identity questions, and the effects of emotionally harmful or narcissistic relationships. Alongside emotional support, I offer psychoeducation and practical tools, helping you understand your patterns, your nervous system, and your boundaries. I believe in practical help and therefore will, when appropriate, proactively give you actionable tools to assist your growth. You’ll notice my sessions move at a steady, collaborative pace where we listen carefully, name patterns, and agree on small, practical steps to try between meetings. In Geneva or online, in English, French or German, I balance attentive presence with clear structure—short check-ins, focused exploration, and simple tools you can use day-to-day. For issues like anxiety, toxic relationship or burnout, we track progress together and adjust what helps. This way of working suits people wanting compassionate clarity and usable change.”
