« Lion in his kingdom! »
About me
Philip Läuppi
Clinical Psychologist, M.Sc. • Professional Psychologist for Psychotherapy FSP • Swiss State-recognized Psychotherapist for Integrative Body Psychotherapy IBP • Schema Therapist ISST (in training) • Certified 5Rhythms® Teacher
I studied psychology and philosophy* and then completed a five-year postgraduate course in psychotherapy.
As a person I am passionate and dedicated. As a psychotherapist I am clear, direct, respectful and sincere. My humorous and playful manner often comes out in my therapeutic work.
My main interest is in the human being from a philosophical, psychological and psychotherapeutic perspective. As a man I am especially fascinated with male psychology with all its conscious and unconscious processes and states along with their causes and effects.
In the context of psychotherapy I observe people, for example, from the perspective of the following five elements (PDF) because if these fall out of balance, they can have a powerful effect on the emotional equilibrium of a person:
- Gender psychology (gender identity and association)
- Relationship psychology (the ability to relate and be in love)
- Sexual psychology (expression of vigour and vitality)
- Traumata (far-reaching life events) and
- Addiction (vicarious satisfaction of unfulfilled needs driven by a person's own desire)
I love my job and see therapeutic support to be a valuable contribution to society and the human self. Strengthening the individual ability to form relationships, the ability to relate and/or dissociate oneself clearly, creates a feeling of belonging and personal freedom in life and experience. When we learn to respect and value ourselves, to take care of ourselves and our limits, then we are truly a « lion in his kingdom » or a « lioness in her kingdom » !
I would love to support you to achieve your personal goals...
