” I’m a warm and down to earth person and my counselling style is the same. I hope that everyone I work with – whatever their struggles -will feel calmer, lighter and better after talking things through.”
Hello! Thankyou for finding me! I’m Lindsey, I’m Scottish, I have two sons and am based just outside of Nyon in the village of Gingins.
I’ve been counselling clients from Lausanne, Nyon, Geneva and online throughout Switzerland for 15 years in private practice. Before that -while working in the UN World Food Programme-, I also worked as a peer support counsellor providing emotional first aid to staff working on the front line on the African continent and wherever they were in conflict and hardship duty stations.
I’m a warm and down to earth person and my counselling style is the same. Offering insightful yet practical therapy to expats, international professionals, UN staff, NGOs, diplomats, executives, trailing spouses and students 16-75+ years in English, in-person and online. I hope that everyone I see feels better and lighter.
Overall, I have about 25 years of experience in counselling, communication and training roles within the UN and other international organisations. As well as international professional experience, I have lived in South Africa, Kenya, Italy, and Switzerland and can intuitively relate to and understand the intricate lives of expatriates and humanitarians.
Personally, I’ve faced various difficult life situations; being employed, unemployed, self employed, a trailing spouse, married and divorced, balancing work as a single mum and being a stay at home mum with young children. These professional and life experiences help me to connect across the international community and hopefully allow me to give heartfelt, personalised counselling support to everyone I work with.
