Therapy for Mental Health Feeling low, empty or overwhelmed?

You don’t have to go through it alone. Therapy offers a space to talk, reflect, and heal.

It's not easy. What's on Your Mind?

Mental health concerns don’t always show up with loud alarms. Sometimes it’s a quiet struggle, a heaviness, a sense of overwhelm, or simply the feeling that something’s off. 

You may have Thoughts like:

I was taught to be strong but I can't.

Sometimes I feel nothing.

At work I cry in the bathroom.

I don’t want to be a burden.

Everyone thinks I’m fine. I’m not.

I can't talk about this with anyone.

I’m scared I go crazy.

I feel shame for needing help.

I worry about everything, all the time.

I’ve lost interest in things I loved.

I can’t move past what happened.

When I'm with people I feel alone.

I’m tired and still can’t sleep.

I’m really good at pretending I’m ok.

You're not alone in this. Talking about it is the first Step to recovery.

You don’t have to face it alone. Whether you’re dealing with depression, anxiety, burnout, or just trying to make sense of it all, counselling can help you untangle what’s going on and find clarity, stability, and the support to get better.

Your Feelings are valid. And Your Story matters.

At some point, many of us find ourselves struggling more than we expected. Maybe you feel anxious for no clear reason. Maybe you’re just tired — not just physically, but deep down. Or maybe you’ve simply lost your sense of direction. That doesn’t mean something is wrong with you. It means something needs care.
Krish Phua
Psychological Counsellor
We’re not meant to carry everything by ourselves. But many of us were never taught how to ask for help or that it’s okay to need it. There is no shame in struggling. No guilt in feeling stuck. And no weakness in wanting support.
You deserve to be heard. You deserve to feel better. And Counselling offers a space where you don’t have to pretend. Where your feelings make sense, and where we gently explore what’s going on beneath the surface.

Speak up, because You deserve to be heard.

Whatever you’re carrying,  you don’t have to carry it all on your own. Talking about it is a brave and important step. One that can lead to healing, clarity, and a deeper sense of self. You’re not alone. And you’re not too much. You’re human. And you’re allowed to ask for support.
I offer sessions in Zurich, Biel/Bienne, and online — wherever feels safest for you. To begin, I offer a free 15-minute call so you can decide if I’m the right fit. If you're ready, I'm here.

Let’s Talk about what's going on inside.

Sometimes you know exactly what’s wrong and sometimes you just feel off, overwhelmed, or unlike yourself. Both are valid. Both deserve attention. Naming what you’re experiencing can be the first step towards feeling better. Even if it’s messy. Even if you’re not sure yet.

The first step to Recovery may be naming what's going on.

Let’s explore some of the most common challenges people bring to counselling and maybe you’ll recognise something that speaks to you. And if not, that’s okay too.

    Self-Help Groups

    Sometimes it helps to share your story with people who truly understand. Self-help groups offer a safe space to talk, listen, and realise you’re not alone.
    Krish regularly organises groups on different topics — such as addiction, trauma, loss & separation, midlife crisis or other common challenges. Many find that connecting with others on a similar path gives them strength, hope, and practical ways to cope.

    Choosing Therapy is a big Step. Choosing the right Therapist makes all the Difference.

  • Let me introduce myself:

    I'm Krish, Your Counsellor.

    • I grew up in Singapore, where talking about feelings was taboo. I know how isolating that can feel and how healing it is when someone finally listens without judgement. That's why I offer that safe space to others now.

    I’m a psychological counsellor with over 10 years of experience. 

    If you're curious or just want to get to know me first, you're welcome to book a free intro call — no pressure, no obligations.

    And if you’ve made it this far, I admire your courage. Starting is often the hardest part. But you don’t have to figure it all out on your own...

    Testimonials
    Curious what it’s like to work with me?

    Here’s how some of my clients have experienced counselling with me. For confidentiality, all testimonials are anonymised and only include age, gender, and nationality.

    When I first saw Krish, I did not know where to begin. I just knew I had a lot of problems. I had lost hope that anyone could help me.But Krish listened to me patiently. He helped me verbalise all my challenges, assessing them in a structural way. He conducted a very creative way to overcome my anxiety with a controlled exposure therapy in public! I never would have believed that I could master it. He found the root cause of my depression and educated me how to face and process it. Together, we worked systematically on all my issues – some of them only emerged in the course of the therapy – and we co-created an action plan. Krish encouraged me to make some tough decisions that were long overdue. And a new chapter in my life began – this time, it finally goes into the right direction.

    Male, 40sSwitzerland

    I was all over the place with my emotions and did not know how to process them. I joined Reddit, hoping it would be a space where I could express what I was feeling, but it is difficult to process emotions when no one responds or seems to understand. Then, I came across a recommendation for Krish’s counselling services. From his photo alone, I had a feeling that he would be patient and helpful and I am so glad I was right! Krish is incredibly patient and understands me. Through our sessions, I learned a lot about my situation. I am so relieved now. I feel seen, heard, and validated in ways I never expected.

    Female, 20sPhilippines

    I worked with Krish during a difficult period in my life, and the help I received from him truly made a difference. He had a lot of empathy and compassion and gave me insights along the way that helped me process my trauma. I will always be grateful for his support.

    Male, 30sItaly

    Krish is very empathetic and a good counsellor. He seemed to understand my problems and how I feel. He helped me find the cause of my stress and physical pain. After speaking with him, I felt so reliefed. I would really recommend him.

    Male, 30sSwitzerland

    Krish came highly recommended by a close friend of mine. I decided to reach out to him because I was in a bad emotional state. I was also profoundly troubled, struggling with family-related issues and boundary-setting. Through our sessions, I gained an in-depth understanding of my trauma responses and how these responses were affecting the way I behaved and reacted to situations and individuals. Krish’s patience and gentle guidance have helped me learn how to deal with my issues, and it has improved my relationship with my family members. I am also better at setting boundaries. For anyone considering counseling or therapy, I would highly recommend Krish. I actually felt comfortable enough to share certain aspects of my life that no one else knew about. I feel very blessed and grateful that our paths crossed. No words can describe my gratitude. Thank you, Krish.

    Female, 40sSingapore

    Krish takes a genuine interest in my thoughts and experiences and listens without judgement. He is often able to reframe issues in my life in a way that makes sense to me. His insights helped me overcome demons that I once felt helpless against.
