If you're ready to rediscover who you are, as an individual, couple, LGBTQ+, and create relationships that genuinely support you - with yourself and with people you love - this is where real change begins.
Hi there! I'm Lilia, an open-minded psychologist, unshakable optimist and solution-focused coach.
I believe happiness is something we create together, moment by moment. I'll walk beside you and coach you with respect, compassion, empathy, dignity and practical tools, creating a space where you can speak freely, feel understood, grow at your own pace, learn from setbacks, and become the best version of yourself.
Where science meets heart
I always knew I wanted to study psychology. I dove in headfirst, completing my Master's in Clinical Psychology (2004) and Doctorate in Health Psychology (2009) in an English-language psychology programme abroad. I further specialized in couples therapy, life coaching and LGBTQ+ coaching.
Since 2019, I’ve been running my own private practice in Zurich. As a freelance psychologist, I’ve had the opportunity to collaborate with global organizations such as:
- Aepsy, online therapy, since July 2020
- EAP counseling at Google Switzerland, from January 2024 to December 2025
- EAP counseling at Spring Health, serving as a Global Mental Health Therapist, for Microsoft, Coca-Cola, BlackRock, and UBS Switzerland, since November 2025.
Think of a session with me like a chat over coffee. I'm all ears while you speak, and I only take notes after the session, so you'll never catch me writing while you pour out your heart and share your story.
How we'll work together
You deserve to be happy!
We all hit bumps and talking about our struggles and relationship conflicts can be tough. But you don’t have to face them on your own.
I'm a dedicated listener and I don't believe in beating around the bush. I like thinking outside the box, so each session is tailored to you, where you can speak your truth, explore your quirks and uncover what really matters to you.
There's no one-size-fits-all solution. Sometimes you'll move two steps forward, and one step back. My toolbox includes positive psychology, emotion-focused and solution-focused therapy, and systemic coaching. For example, I often blend systemic coaching with positive psychology to help couples reframe conflict in a strengths-based way.
My goal is to empower you to become stronger, more resilient, and get tools to navigate your life more smoothly. Are you ready to grow, laugh, and shift perspective? Let's work together!
