About me

From books to the Alps, from dreams to therapy.

I grew up in a small village in Romania, seeing the world through books and understanding life through stories. My favorite childhood book was Heidi, and I used to dream of one day seeing the Alps. That dream never left me — and today, I live and work in Switzerland, helping others navigate their inner worlds, just as I navigated mine.

I knew I wanted to be a therapist since I was 12 — and I never changed my mind. While life took me through six years in the corporate world, leading teams and coaching professionals, that dream quietly shaped everything I did. I used that time to fund my studies and deepen my understanding of human dynamics — how we resist, adapt, grow, and sometimes get stuck.

My approach today is both symbolic and structured — I work with metaphors that speak to the mind and soul, with kindness, clarity, and emotional containment. I use methods like:

Multidimensional Therapeutic Approach

My practice weaves together symbolic depth and structural clarity, using metaphors that resonate with both mind and soul. Grounded in kindness, emotional containment, and cultural sensitivity, I offer a therapeutic space that honors individual journeys while understanding collective contexts.

Feedback: Why Choose Online Counseling?

“Anca helped me understand my panic attacks and how to manage them, and she also helped me build my confidence so that I could start living my life again.”

“I had been struggling with anxiety for years, and I had tried everything to get rid of it. Anca helped me understand and manage it! I am so grateful for her help, and I am finally able to live my life without anxiety holding me back.”

It’s been almost a year since we had our sessions, and my life has changed radically. I am building healthy relationships with my boyfriend, and we’re planning our wedding in 2 years. Tomorrow is my birthday, everything is peaceful and joyful, something I haven’t felt in years. I thank you from the bottom of my heart for everything, and may God bless you for how much you helped us and stood by our side. Perhaps someday we will meet face to face; until then, I can only wish you the best.”

Let's get started

Please note that although I’m a FSP-registered psychologist, counselling sessions are not considered psychotherapy, therefore your basic health insurance probably won’t cover the sessions even if you have a referral from a doctor. It is likely that your complementary insurance will cover my services or a part of the fees, but this is highly dependant on your individual situation, so it is best to clarify it with your insurance provider.

If you are not sure if this is the right solution for you or you want to ask me some questions before booking a consultation, feel free to contact me.
