Lausanne Brief Therapy Center

In our Lausanne Brief Therapy Center, we provide Brief Therapy, also known as "brief strategic & systemic therapy", to individuals, couples and families.

Our practice is based on the research-proven techniques developed by the Mental Research Institute of Palo Alto, which offer solutions to a wide range of different personal and interpersonal problems, such as, for example: marital conflict, depression, eating disorders, phobias, anxiety, sexual problems, obsessive-compulsive disorders, sleep problems, post-traumatic stress disorders, problems with children and adolescents, work and career problems.

At an initial consultation, we explore the clients' current issues, establish the focus of therapy and start looking for practical ways to promote change. Depending on the desire of the client and the nature of the problem, others who can be involved in the solutions might be asked to participate. Frequently, "homework" is suggested in-between sessions, so that change is actively being pursued both inside and outside the therapy office. This helps to dramatically shorten the therapeutic process and therefore reduce the therapy duration. The therapy ends after a consolidation phase, which enables the client to ensure that the desired change is sustained.
