Psychological Counselling Zurich
Mae Matus

Head and heart, working together

I combine clarity and structure with empathy, connection, and emotional depth. The aim is to understand patterns, make sense of feelings, and open the way for new experiences.

Gestalt Therapy
Gestalt therapy is an experiential approach that encourages discovery and supports you in exploring your emotions. Rather than only talking about things, we look at what is present right now: in the body, in the mood, in the contact between us. Along the way, it strengthens your trust in your own perceptions and experiences. This opens the door to a more vibrant connection with yourself and to more authentic, meaningful relationships with others.

Emotion-focused
Feelings are not a disturbance. They are an inner navigation system, showing us what matters to us and where our needs are not getting enough room. Together we will learn to understand them and use them as a compass.

Schema Therapy
Schema therapy helps you recognise and change deeply rooted patterns. Together we will sort through what is happening and see which needs lie behind it. We work extensively with imagery and metaphors. This makes what you have learned easier to remember, and helps you notice these patterns and respond in new ways outside our sessions. more

Trauma informed counselling
This means creating a safe space where your physical and emotional wellbeing are at the centre of our work. I place great importance on working together in a spirit of honesty, openness and mutual care. Your active participation in shaping the process is an essential part of this approach.
