Hello, I'm Ian, come on in to your safe and confidential space to talk.
Life has its ups and downs in relationships and right now you're feeling the pain.
You may have been hurting for some time and holding it in; perhaps something new has happened to disturb or upset you emotionally and psychologically.
You need to talk confidentially, to someone you can trust with all that's going on; someone who'll listen, be beside you, and support you in finding a way through; someone who's highly qualified and experienced in holding and helping heal what troubles you.
You're looking for someone who understands the unique stresses, strains, and pains that expat, corporate, and nomadic lifestyles put on your emotions and relationships; someone who's lived and worked in Switzerland and around the world for 20 years with people just like you.
I'm committed to being with you, as soon as I can, however I can, to help with whatever troubles you bring. Whether you're an individual or a couple, with personal, relationship, or workplace issues - that's exactly what I do.
To begin supporting you as soon as I can, I offer you a free 30 minute consultation.
You'll know help is at hand.
So make yourself comfortable, look around, get used to the feel of our place together... And when you're ready, start telling me what's happening for you - I'm here to listen.
Anxiety, fear, and stress are some of the most common and uncomfortable emotions that we all experience at some point in our lives. You might feel ashamed and unable to talk about these feelings.
Symptoms like exhaustion, sadness and anger, can effect your wellbeing.
This can become a cycle that's hard to break, a pattern that takes over and gets in the way for you.
Through counselling and psychological therapy, I'm able to help you recover motivation, perspective, and the joy that you once had in your life - and can find again.
Many individuals can experience difficult working relationships and circumstances from time to time.
Anxiety, fear, hopelessness, and anger are a few of the emotions that might feel overwhelming and linger after a disappointment at work, moving to a new country, reorganisation, redundancy, job loss, or retirement.
Perhaps you are noticing a pattern and want to find a different way to deal with these emotions.
I can help you overcome these symptoms, and guide you through the process to a better place - for you, your work, and your relationships.
Relationship counselling can be really helpful to couples who are looking to improve their communication, understanding of each other, and intimacy.
You may be just beginning to find out about each other, wanting to bring something new, or looking for the best way forward.
Perhaps you are making some difficult choices together, and need a safe space for your voices to be heard.
We’ll work together on your significant relationships - and find the way forward you need.
Together, we'll find a way through for you.
