If you are experiencing acute mental health distress, require a diagnosis, or are seeking in-depth therapeutic processing, I strongly recommend consulting with a licensed mental health professional.
I am happy to provide referrals to trusted therapists in the Basel area if needed. (see the details down below)
For Loved Ones of Trauma Survivors & Parents Healing from Trauma
When someone lives with complex trauma, their nervous system often remains in survival mode, even in safe relationships. This can cause behaviours that feel distant, reactive, or difficult to understand. I can help you make sense of these patterns so you can offer support without overextending yourself or taking it personally.
I don’t offer therapy or mediation — I provide trauma-informed education, reflection, and practical tools. You can attend on your own to gain insight into what’s happening and what’s possible. This isn’t about “fixing” you or your partner — it’s about shifting how you relate and respond with clarity, care, and stronger boundaries.
Yes. Many of the parents I work with are navigating how to raise secure, emotionally resilient children while carrying their own trauma histories. Together, we explore:
- How to regulate yourself when triggered
- How to repair with your child when things go wrong
- How to build a connection without perfection
You don’t need to get it right all the time — but you do need support, context, and tools. That’s what I offer.
This is one of the most common concerns I hear. Trauma can foster deep empathy as well as significant exhaustion. I’ll help you recognise signs of emotional enmeshment, resentment, or self-neglect, and guide you towards more sustainable ways of being in a relationship without losing yourself.
Yes, you’ll learn real tools. I combine psychoeducation inspired by practical strategies from IFS (Internal Family Systems), SFBT (Solution-Focused Brief Therapy), and relational healing models. You’ll leave sessions with language, frameworks, and practices you can actually use in everyday life.
Currently, I work with adults either individually or in parent-focused tandems. I don’t work directly with children or teens, but I can help you become a more confident, calm, and responsive caregiver, which forms the foundation of any secure attachment.
Yes, all kinds of families are welcome here. Whether you’re a single parent, part of a blended or same-sex family, chosen family, or navigating complex dynamics such as parenting through separation, you are valued in this space. My approach is non-judgmental, inclusive, and rooted in the belief that healing occurs in all types of relational systems, not just those that fit a conventional mould.
I offer practical, trauma-informed guidance to help you support your partner through stress or burnout without losing yourself in the process. You’ll gain insight into what they may be experiencing and how to respond with clarity, care, and boundaries. My workshops and digital resources are designed to support both of you — gently, relationally, and without clinical language.
Trauma-informed means understanding how trauma or high levels of stress can shape a person’s thoughts, feelings, and behaviours — often in ways that aren’t obvious. It’s an approach rooted in compassion, safety, and choice, not judgment or fixing. At The Fabric of Healing, this means I offer support that honours each person’s pace, history, and nervous system.
General
A minimum of 24 hours’ notice is required for rescheduling or cancelling an appointment. Frequent cancellations (three or more cancellations without 24 hours’ notice within a six-month period) or missed appointments (two consecutive no-shows) may result in the termination of services. While I understand that emergencies and unexpected situations can arise, frequent cancellations or no-shows may prevent me from providing services to other clients. If you need to cancel or reschedule your appointment, please let me know as soon as possible via text.
Yes! Since services are also offered remotely, I accept electronic payments.
Yes. While my standard rate is 65 CHF per hour, I understand that financial stress can be a barrier to accessing support. I reserve a limited number of sessions at reduced rates for those facing financial hardship. Please don’t hesitate to discuss your situation with me – I’m committed to making this work accessible when possible.
For Individuals Living with the Effects of Trauma
Trauma isn’t always about one big event — it can also come from long-term stress, neglect, loss, or growing up in an environment where your needs weren’t met. If you’ve ever felt chronically unsafe, unseen, or like you had to shrink, perform, or protect yourself just to get through — that is trauma.
You might notice its effects in:
- Difficulty trusting others or yourself
- Feeling numb, on edge, or overwhelmed
- Struggles with boundaries or emotional regulation
- Patterns of burnout, disconnection, or self-blame
You don’t need to be sure before reaching out. Part of this work involves discovering how your experiences have shaped you and what’s possible beyond mere survival.
Yes. Trauma isn’t only about what happened — it’s about how it lives in your body, relationships, and daily life. If you feel stuck in survival mode, struggle with trust, shame, or emotional overwhelm, or simply want to gain a deeper understanding of yourself, you’re in the right place. You don’t need a diagnosis to deserve support.
No, my work is not clinical but counselling-informed, and it’s not classified as therapy under Swiss regulation. What I provide is psychoeducation, nervous system-aware guidance, and relational support based on models like Internal Family Systems (IFS) and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT). It’s perfect if you’re after clarity, tools, and a supportive space to reflect — without engaging in a clinical process. For more information, see BLOG: Psycho-Education vs. Therapy
Yes. Many people come to me after therapy, wanting to keep deepening their understanding or apply what they’ve learned in real life. Others find that therapy focused on the past but didn’t offer enough practical tools for the present. This space can meet you wherever you are — not to “start over,” but to support what’s already unfolding.
You’ll gain:
- A clearer understanding of your nervous system and protective patterns
- Language to describe your experience without shame or pathology
- Tools for emotional regulation, boundary-setting, and relational repair
- Space to connect with parts of yourself that feel stuck, hidden, or dismissed
Not at all. You will never be required to tell or re-tell your story. My approach is not about re-exposure, but about noticing what’s alive now — how past experiences may shape your current patterns, understanding that and learning what you need to move forward. You choose what you share and how.
Absolutely. The Fabric of Healing is an inclusive space that honours the diverse identities, relationships, and lived experiences of LGBTQ+ individuals and families. Whether you’re navigating trauma within your community, your family of origin, or broader systems of harm, you’re welcome here.
I work with sensitivity to the unique challenges that LGBTQ+ people may face in healing, parenting, and being understood — and I offer support that affirms who you are, not who you’re expected to be.
Yes. My work is designed to support a wide range of neurodivergent experiences, including autism, ADHD, sensory sensitivities, and cognitive differences. The psychoeducation and relational tools I offer are adaptable and take into account different ways of processing, communicating, and relating.
Sessions are flexible and tailored, avoiding strict expectations around eye contact, verbal expression, or emotional display. You’ll be provided with information, practices, and support strategies that align with how your brain works, rather than how others might expect it to.
This is not therapy or a clinical assessment, but a space for learning, reflection, and practical insight — grounded in trauma-aware, neurodivergent-affirming practice.
Start with a complimentary 20-minute call to ask questions, share your thoughts, and see if this feels like the right fit. There’s no pressure — just space to explore what support might look like for you.
