About Krish Phua, Your Psychological Counsellor
Hello, I am Krish
I am a psychological counsellor based in Zurich. Originally, I am from the vibrant city-state of Singapore, and now I proudly call the picturesque landscapes of Zurich my home. An avid hiker and cyclist, I thrive in the outdoors and have a deep appreciation for music and the performing arts.
As a dedicated psychological counsellor, I am registered with the Singapore Association for Counselling and a certified clinical supervisor. My areas of specialisation include:
- Relationships in Couples and Families
- Intimacy and Sexual Wellness
- Mental Health and Resilience
- LGBTQIA+
- Relocation and Integration
- Personal Growth
- Career
I speak English, Mandarin, and Cantonese and bring a diverse background in psychological counselling, academia, and business management. My extensive experience spans both private and people sectors, encompassing clinical and therapy centres, educational institutions, and corporate environments. This varied career path has enriched my expertise and practice.
"Helping others is at the core of my life philosophy, encapsulated in my personal motto:
Give. Share. Serve."

Having experienced what it feels like to live far from my homeland, I sometimes miss the tropical island of Singapore, where my family still resides. However, I have embraced Switzerland as my second home, finding comfort in the similarities between the two countries. Both adorned in red and white, Singapore and Switzerland share a unique bond, with Singapore being a warm version of Switzerland.
My commitment to service extends beyond my professional life. I have been an active volunteer for nearly two decades and am currently dedicated to assisting refugees in Switzerland through SEET (Support Education; Empower Together) as they integrate into society. Previously, I have actively volunteered with organisations supporting minorities facing challenges related to sexual orientation, addiction, incarceration, and living with HIV/AIDS, as well as Trauma and PTSD. As a Certified Facilitator for SMART Recovery, I have played an active role in leading addiction recovery support groups, drawing on principles from Narcotics Anonymous and Alcoholics Anonymous.
