English Speaking Psychologist Geneva
Maria Huchberger is a licensed Clinical Psychologist and Coach dedicated to empowering individuals to achieve meaningful life changes. With over twelve years of experience in the British National Health Service, I specialized in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) for depression, anxiety, and chronic pain management. Relocating to Switzerland in 2012, I expanded my practice to include working with children in international schools on anti-bullying initiatives and empathy development. After completing Co-Active coaching training in 2016, I integrated coaching methodologies to help clients navigate stress and achieve personal fulfillment.My practice, established in Geneva in 2019, caters primarily to the expat community, drawing on my multicultural background as a Swedish/American/British professional who has lived in five countries. Fluent in English, Swedish, and proficient in German and French, I provide therapy sessions in-person at Hirslanden Clinique des Grangettes or virtually, offering a flexible, client-centered approach to mental health support.
