Our main services
At the Centre Psicologia & Benessere in Zurich, we are committed to providing personalized support to help you overcome psychological challenges and promote your emotional well-being. In this text, we aim to clarify the differences between psychotherapy and psychology and to provide a detailed overview of the services we offer to address a wide range of issues, including anxiety disorders, personality disorders, existential distress, developmental difficulties, self-esteem, trauma and grief, insecurity, emotional dependence, mood disorders, family and couple issues, and relational and emotional difficulties.
What is Psychotherapy?
Psychotherapy is a process of healing and personal growth that, through scientifically validated techniques, helps you face and overcome emotional, behavioural, and relational difficulties. It emerged at the end of the 19th century with the aim of understanding and treating psychological issues and is now a discipline rich in diverse approaches that can be tailored to your specific needs.
Every psychotherapy journey at our centre is designed to best address your needs, whether you are seeking support for an anxiety disorder, coping with bereavement, or looking to improve your family or couple relationships. Here are some of the main types of psychotherapy we offer:
Individual psychotherapy: Focused on treating personal difficulties such as anxiety disorders, self-esteem, insecurity or emotional trauma. We will help you explore your emotions, thoughts and behaviour to achieve greater awareness and well-being.
Couple psychotherapy: If you are experiencing a crisis in your relationship, our approach will help you improve communication, resolve conflicts and build a stronger foundation for your future together.
Family psychotherapy: Perfect for dealing with issues related to the family dynamic, such as conflict between parents and children or difficulties in growing up. This approach aims to improve mutual understanding and promote healthier relationships.
Group psychotherapy: An effective choice for those who wish to share their experiences with others facing similar issues, such as emotional addictions or mood disorders. It encourages mutual support and personal growth.
Yes, but how can Psychotherapy help me?
Psychotherapy is a powerful choice for those who wish to change aspects of their lives that cause suffering or dissatisfaction. At our centre, we can help you to:
Managing anxiety disorders: Using approaches such as cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), which works on negative thoughts to reduce anxiety, phobias, and panic.
Dealing with mood disorders: Targeted interventions to treat depression and bipolar disorders, with an approach that combines psychotherapeutic support and, when necessary, counselling for pharmacological treatment.
Overcoming existential discomfort and difficulties in growing up: Humanistic and existential psychotherapy can help you find deeper meaning in your life and deal with personal challenges such as a career change, mid-life crisis or bereavement.
Improving self-esteem and dealing with insecurity: Through techniques that help develop greater self-awareness and strengthen confidence in one's abilities.
Dealing with trauma and bereavement: We offer specialised therapies to process traumatic events and deal with grief, using approaches such as EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing) therapy.
Psychotherapeutic approaches offered by the Centre
We use a variety of psychotherapeutic approaches to ensure that your journey is as effective as possible:
Cognitive Behavioural Psychotherapy (CBT): CBT is a widely used approach to treat disorders such as anxiety, depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), phobias, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). This therapy focuses on the present and aims to change dysfunctional thoughts and behaviours that affect your well-being. We use techniques such as cognitive restructuring, gradual exposure and mindfulness to help you develop new coping strategies.
Psychoanalytic and Psychodynamic Psychotherapy: These approaches will help you explore the deep, unconscious conflicts that may influence your current emotions and behaviour. We work with you to understand the dynamics of your past and how these may impact your present. This type of therapy is particularly useful for those dealing with personality disorders, existential distress or relationship difficulties.
Systemic-Relational Psychotherapy: Ideal for those who want to address family or couple issues, this approach focuses on interpersonal relationships and dynamics within the family system. We will help you better understand the roles and interactions within your family or relationship, to improve communication and resolve conflicts.
Humanistic and Existential Psychotherapy: This approach supports you in achieving greater awareness and self-realisation. It is ideal for those who feel lost or in search of a deeper meaning in life, or to address an existential malaise.
Psychological counselling at the service of your well-being
Psychology is the science that studies human behaviour and mental processes such as thoughts, emotions and motivation. At the Centre for Psychology and Well-being in Zurich, we use state-of-the-art psychological knowledge to assess and understand your difficulties in order to offer personalised treatment.
