Private Counseling Retreats for Individuals
The great benefit of talking to a psychologist on therapy retreats is the time away from
your day-to-day life, the relaxation in between the sessions, the power of commitment,
and the possibility of keeping the momentum in counseling.
The working environment is essential for a positive psychologist, and nature is,
without a doubt, the most uplifting counseling space.
Coverage of Private Counseling Retreats
-
Personal Transformation
95% of our thoughts are on auto-pilot, following what our brain has long ago identified as logic. That study confirms the potential for personal growth and transformation. Humans stop questioning what has subconsciously been categorized as reasonable or logical, even if it doesn't create the desired results. 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. During intensive therapy retreats, 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, by becoming aware of and implementing new strategies! Healing is always an act of courage and compassion, and of course, you will step in knowing that you deserve your kindness and a happy life.
-
Self-Recovery
Life is not always an easy ride! But 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.
-
Mental Healing
Healing our minds means healing thoughts to feel healthier emotions and acting with integrity towards ourselves and others. Irrational beliefs, compulsive behaviors, anxiety, stress, anger, depression, and all triggers call you to heal something.

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.

14-Day Private Retreat
with Intensive Counseling
- A Revival Experience -
This package is the same as the 5-day retreat,
but you want to spend 2 weeks in beautiful Scuol and take 2 hours of counseling daily.
In this version, the sessions take place during the first 5 days of the first week and 5 days during the second week of your stay.
It's convenient for clients that have a more extended vacation, want to explore the region and the many summer or winter sports, and have more time for wellness and cultural activities.
This version of the Private Counseling Retreat is also a suitable package if you travel with friends, your partner, or your family.
Scuol, A Town with Healing Powers
The land on which Scuol was built has marvelous healing powers. Since 1864, the town has been hosting guests who come to be cured by drinking from the twenty natural carbonated mineral water. Some healing springs contain calcium and iron, while others have high quantities of sulfate, sodium, chloride, or magnesium. Several different types of mineral water with wonderful names, such as Lischana, Sotsass, or Chalzina, bubble from village fountains. The houses are built with the front to the wells because the souls of the deceased leave with the water flow.
The people speak Romansh, the fourth national language of Switzerland. Through their cultural values, village characteristics, and history, they present a very different Switzerland.
The largest town of the Lower Engadine is Scuol. Tarasp, with the famous castle, and Sent are the towns nearby, all located at the foot of the Swiss National Park.
Being too far for day-tripping tourism and the lack of interest from the locals in offering surplus tourist attractions has helped preserve nature.
In paradox to the water miracles, the Lower Enagine is an arid area spoiled with mostly sunny days and a perfect place for my walk and talk counseling in pristine nature.
The Scuol region has visitor packages to encourage visitors to come by train. Please find more information on the links below.
You will wake up in a beautiful world wherever you stay overnight. I'm happy to help you with recommendations if you are unsure which hotel to choose.
This link will give you information about summer and winter offers in the ski area.
At the Engadine Bath, you can immerse yourself in the warmth of the large indoor pool, relax in the indoor or outdoor jacuzzi, or drift on the saline bath's salty waters.
Get spoiled by the impressive world-class art exhibitions or performances in the region:
Not Vital / Nairs / Muzeum Susch / Staziun Lavin / Engadin Art / Poesia Clozza
Visit other culturally preserved towns like Ftan, Ardez, Tschlin, Guarda, or Lavin and gaze at the beauty of the houses and the wise verses written on the facades.
The words in the picture speak about the importance of not compromizing comforts of home because, for almost everybody, the path of life comes with hassles and prices.
