YOU CAN START WHERE YOU ARE

Some things are hard
to carry on your own.

You may care deeply about your partner(s), yet find yourselves having the same difficult conversations. You may have settled into a new country while still searching for a sense of belonging.

You do not need to have everything figured out before reaching out.

MEET KRISH

A conversation.
A connection.
A new perspective.

I’m Krish Phua, a psychological counsellor and certified sexologist.

Originally from Singapore and now living in Zurich, I understand something of what it means to build a life across cultures—to adapt, to belong, and to hold on to what matters to you.

Outside my work, I enjoy hiking, cycling, music and the performing arts. “Give · Share · Serve” expresses the importance I place on helping others.

My approach begins with listening. Together, we explore what you are experiencing, what matters to you, and what you would like to change.

“I always believe in a second chance (or more) in life.”

WHY I BECAME A COUNSELLOR

Because I listened.

Since I was young, friends have shared their stories with me. Their relief after being heard stayed with me. After a career in business and management in a charitable organisation, the thought of becoming a counsellor kept returning.

I listened to that calling and pursued a Master’s in Social Science (Professional Counselling). Today, listening and walking alongside others remain at the heart of my work.
