Relationships, desire, sexuality: the core themes of human existence. My profession.

Enjoying sex with passion and being able to form good relationships are, for me, the true treasures of human nature. In fact, I believe there is no cheaper, more environmentally friendly and therefore truly sustainable way to experience happiness.

However, there are numerous stumbling blocks that can make it difficult to access these sources of human happiness. As a counsellor, my goal is to work with my clients to identify and overcome these highly personal obstacles.

Contrary to the widespread view that sexuality is an instinct, it is an area in which we can continue to learn throughout our lives and discard old habits.

As a result, some learning steps and habits develop into problems and lead to frustration. Sexual problems are often accompanied by insecurity and despair. The body-oriented approach offers concrete solutions for expanding sexual boundaries.

Sex therapy based on the Sexocorporel model is aimed at people of all ages, relationship types and sexual orientations. Basically, sex therapy can initiate a personal learning and development process and then influence both one’s own sexual pleasure and the exchange and communication with partners.

Sex counselling always takes place without touching and with clothes on. The counselling sessions can be supplemented or deepened by physical exercises.

Concern

Issues and problems that can be addressed in sex therapy:

• General information on questions and uncertainties surrounding one’s own sexuality
  
  
• Sexual development (without functional disorders)

Specific counselling regarding sexual problems, for example: 

• Reduced/excessive sexual desire
  
• Erectile dysfunction/difficulty becoming aroused
  
• Premature or delayed ejaculation
  
• Orgasm problems
  
• Vaginismus/pain during penetrative intercourse (dyspareunia)
  
• Uncertainty regarding sexual preferences (practices/fetishes/fantasies/paraphilias)
  
• Sexual insecurity
  
• Problems with couple sexuality (activities/desire/lack of desire/seduction/cheating)
  
• Pornography or sex addiction
  
• Problems after surgery or illness
  
• Sexuality in the context of impairment or illness
  
• Sexual limitations after sexual violence (trauma-sensitive counselling)

As we all know, love life is not just about sex. Much of it revolves around relationship conflicts, communication patterns or attachment issues.

I advise couples based on their love life, their questions and their conflicts. My approach here is that problems can be starting points for new developments, especially in the sexual sphere. However, tensions can also be unbearable, especially when old wounds cause repeated unrest. Together, we get to the bottom of these issues.

I mainly work with EFT (Emotion-Focused Couples Therapy), but of course elements of Sexocorporel and systemic couples therapy also flow into my counselling sessions.

Couples therapy is also suitable for non-heterosexual monogamous couples.

• LGBTQIA*
  …and other letters can simplify or complicate life. For me, it goes without saying that I treat people with openness – regardless of their gender perception and sexual orientation(s). In this respect, I welcome all identities and codes of attraction that may be hidden behind letters: I advise people based on their concerns. I regard the body as an instrument that needs to be learned to play with pleasure.

   

• Singles
  Even single people experience relationship difficulties with other people, whether in terms of unfulfilled desires for partnership, sex, intimacy or children. There is a harsh climate on Tinder and similar platforms: putting yourself out there is a conflicting endeavour, as there is always a soul hidden behind it. I can also offer my support with such problems.

   

• Polyamory and open relationships
  

  There are many different forms of open relationships, but they are always highly individual in their respective forms. Entering into polyamorous relationships and other forms of open relationships requires not only courage and trust, but also a lot of relationship work.
  
  It is possible to love very openly, but it is necessary to maintain a balance that goes beyond the traditional understanding of relationships. It is particularly challenging to keep in step with all the dynamics that arise in a dance between three or more people. I would be delighted to support you in your endeavours.

Since sexuality is learned, there is plenty of room for development, even as adults. I conduct courses and workshops at schools and support parents in matters of sexuality and sex education.

The classroom, whether mixed-gender or single-sex, is a place that requires great care in order to be effective. I introduce the essential topics in an age-appropriate manner and allow dialogue to flow without forcing it.

My basic approach is to convey to children and young people that sex is something positive and that treating one’s own body with respect is as valuable as it is pleasurable.

• Children
  I create a space for children that suits them and is appropriate for their stage of development. They should not have to conform to adult logic and expectations. I show them that self-esteem, a positive body image and feelings are wonderful qualities that are available to all of us.
• Youngsters
  Young people searching for their identity sometimes clash violently with sexuality. It is not always easy for them to find their way in this controversial field. Added to this is their own changing bodies, which want to tell a completely different story. With my relaxed view of sexuality, I want to encourage young people to listen more closely to their own inner world. This allows crises to be broken down into smaller problems that are easier to deal with.
• Parents
  Nowadays, parents are confronted with situations and questions that were sometimes unthinkable in the past. What values should they teach their children? How should they respect their children and their individuality? How can they deal with this competently and in an age-appropriate manner?
  I help parents to free themselves from the constraints and excessive demands of ‘proper’ sex education and to remain authentic.
  Sex education for parents is less about imparting knowledge and more about training them in how to respond to sensitive situations with tact and sensitivity.

I am often described as passionate, motivating, creative and unconventional – as a woman who goes her own way and does not shy away from confrontation.

I was born and raised in Sweden. After spending several years travelling in India and the United Kingdom, I finally settled down in Switzerland thanks to love. The wealth of cultures, lifestyles and views that I was able to gain insight into have had a significant influence on me and made me the open-minded and curious person I am today. As a child, I used to dig for animal bones in the forest, and later I became fascinated by human anatomy and physiology, which then influenced my choice of career. Times of suffering and exposure to the darker sides of life have ultimately brought me closer to the intuitive and empathetic parts of my personality in recent years. As a result, I gained insights that are now indispensable for my work as a therapist.

I do not shy away from any topics, no matter how shameful or taboo they may be. My practice is a safe space where body and mind are treated with kindness and hidden secrets can be brought to light.

I (she/her) live with my husband and our two daughters in Trin (GR). Currently, alongside my self-employment, I work as Co-Program Director of the Master’s degree program and as a lecturer at ISP Zurich. Please feel free to contact me for workshops, training sessions, or lectures.

I am a member of the Swiss Association for Sexology (FSS), the Professional Association for Sexual Health in Counseling and Education, Sexual Health Switzerland, and Polyamory Switzerland.

Sexocorporel

The word Sexocorporel combines two concepts: sex and body. Sexocorporel stands for a holistic model of sexuality that describes its cognitive as well as its emotional and physical-sensual aspects. The concept, which is based on a body-based therapy method, was developed in the 1970s and 1980s by Professor Jean-Yves Desjardins.

At the heart of the method is the idea that sexual dysfunction and lack of desire can be treated through improved body awareness and targeted movement sequences. However, Sexocorporel is also a tool for anyone who wants to further develop their sexuality. It is a resource-oriented method that builds on existing skills. Find out more about Sexocorporel.

EFT

The concept of emotion-focused couples therapy (EFT) was developed by Dr Sue Johnson and Leslie Greenberg in the 1980s and is one of the few forms of couples therapy that has been proven to be effective. With the help of EFT, destructive patterns in a relationship can be more easily identified and changed, which in turn promotes emotional connection in the relationship. For more information, see EFT couples therapy.

IFS (Inner Family Systems)

IFS (Internal Family Systems) is a scientifically grounded therapeutic approach that views the psyche as a system of distinct inner parts. These parts develop primarily in response to stressful or traumatic experiences and take on protective functions.

IFS has proven to be particularly effective in trauma therapy. The approach allows for a mindful and structured engagement with wounded parts without overwhelming the client. The focus is on developing inner safety—a central prerequisite for processing and integrating traumatic experiences.

In my work, I use IFS in a trauma-sensitive, resource-oriented manner and at your own pace. The goal is to promote stability, self-compassion, and inner clarity. Learn more: IFS EUROPE
