Private Counseling Retreats
for Individuals
Counseling Methods
My counseling is based on the principles of Adlerian Psychology, and other methods I use are the REBT Therapy Methods by A. Ellis, Purpose of Emotions by G. McKay and D. Dinkmeyer, Encouragement by Theo Schoenaker, and the GPI testing by U. Bärtschi.
The benefits of taking counseling during a retreat
The Private Counseling Retreat page describes the procedure and why therapy retreats are generally beneficial. For you specifically, a short time-out will help you to regroup your energies and have more space for awareness.
Many clients use the time between the sessions to journal, sleep, read, watch movies, or go to the spa. If you meditate, you know that having that quietness to yourself is amazing.
Scuol is a small and safe village with many things to do and see.
Coverage for individuals
The Private Counseling Retreat is perfect if you want to have trauma therapy, anger management therapy, recover from a toxic relationship or an ended relationship, from a loss otherwise, if you want to find your purpose and meaning in life, or if you are an Expat and adjusting feels overwhelming.
I also offer individual counseling for those who desire marriage counseling but the partner isn't joining in. It's possible to improve the relationship by changing the dynamics one-sided.
The counseling packages are described further down this page and if you want to go straight to that section, please follow this link.
Personal transformation
Growth and transformation happen when becoming conscious of the choices aligned with one's healthy sense of Self and natural courage. During the Personal Counseling Retreat, you can make the first bold changes, become familiar with the transformation process, and reconcile with the idea that engaging with one's inner programming is, again and again, a revealing experience.
Trauma therapy
It's rare for people to come out of childhood or teenage years without wounds, and the pains one has learned to cope with continue to influence how life plays out.
Intensive therapy retreats are an excellent healing method. You will understand that your brilliant strategies helped you as a child but didn't serve you as an adult. Healing happens through new perspectives on what happened to you by becoming aware of and implementing new strategies to compartmentalize thoughts and feelings! Healing is always an act of courage and compassion, and of course, knowing that you deserve your kindness and to enjoy life.
Self-recovery
Life has it's ups and downs, and when you become aware that the hard times are the best teachers and how to blend sorrows and pains in acceptance and revelation, appreciation and gratitude light up the space of darkness. Self-recovery can be needed from a betrayal, rejection from a relationship, a toxic bond, a loss, or a time when you made choices you regret, from exhaustion or burn-out.
Finding purpose and meaning
Adlerian Psychology is a positive psychology, humanistic, holistic, and sociological school; hence the guidance from a positive psychologist naturally includes the discussion about our life's purpose! Nothing can have meaning until we give it meaning.
Suppose you want to give something meaning because you know it could be vital to your life, but something blocks the ability to make it work meaningfully. In that case, counseling will help you unblock the movement toward it.
Expat counseling
2009 was the beginning of my exciting journey as a counselor for internationals. On my bio page, I share how it all started. My expertise in expatriation counseling led me to write the book Cultural Grief. If you feel lost after relocating, the 2-day retreat will erase your insecurities and doubts and help you build new perspectives.
