Sometimes talking isn’t enough. Body-centred psychological counselling brings conversation and body awareness together – to help you understand connections, develop new perspectives and strengthen your own resources during challenging life situations.
This approach (IKP method) combines psychological counselling with body-oriented methods such as Gestalt Therapy. In addition to conversation, feelings, body awareness and ways of expressing oneself are incorporated into the process.
What body-centred psychological counselling offers you is a truly holistic approach. We work with all six dimensions of life: the body, the mind, social relationships, meaning and spirituality, space and time. No issue is considered in isolation, as difficulties are rarely confined to a single dimension. In addition, we use interventions based, amongst other things, on Gestalt therapy, which draw on conversation, movement and expression.
You share what’s on your mind: We begin with what’s currently challenging you, whether a difficult situation, a relationship, a life transition, or a feeling you can’t quite name.
We work with conversation and body awareness: In addition to talking, I may invite you to notice what’s happening in your body, express something through movement or drawing, or explore a feeling more fully. We will work with relaxation, imagination and interventions from Gestalt Therapy, Ego States and body centric psychological counselling.
You gain new perspectives and resources: The aim is not to give advice, but to help you understand your own patterns more clearly and discover your own capacity for change.
Each session is 60 minutes. Sessions are offered at a reduced rate during my training phase and are not eligible for reimbursement through Swiss supplementary health insurance.
The body-centred psychological counselling I offer is based on the approach of the IKP – Institut für Körperzentrierte Psychotherapie in Zurich, founded in 1983 by Dr. Yvonne Maurer. The IKP combines scientifically grounded psychology with body-oriented work rooted in Gestalt therapy. I am currently training there as a Dipl. Body-Centred Psychological Counsellor (2026–2029).

Profound Topics

Inner Peace
I had Distance Healing and Resonance Repatterning sessions with Sandra and it was a truly transformative experience. I learned to acknowledge my emotions and fears without judgment, which helped me find more inner peace. Sandra is incredibly kind, loving, and fully committed to her healing work-| felt deeply supported throughout the session. Afterwards, I noticed I was more relaxed and at peace, and I reacted much more calmly in situations that used to trigger me. I also started taking better care of myself, especially when it comes to food and sleep. Even my situation at work has improved! I truly appreciate Sandra’s dedication and the love she brings to every session. Thank you for helping me shift and heal.
