SICH ENTWICKELN – EMDR THERAPY, GESTALT THERAPY AND COUNSELING
Therapy online and in Zürich
Gestalt therapy is a type of psychotherapy that encourages creative adjustment, so as a gestalt therapist, I adapt my approach and way of working to the person I am working with. I strive to respect the uniqueness of the inner world and language of each individual client. Some need to be seen and acknowledged. Some need to be encouraged and supported as they are. Some need help and support to make some changes. Some are in grief or separation process, others need permission to play again, some are frustrated or have a lump in their throat, some can’t get out of bed…
Yet the constants in my approach are: maximum presence and effort to get ‘’infected’’ by the clients’ content, to comprehend the clients’ experience of themselves as well as the world around them. Respecting the clients’ needs in here and now and helping them to become aware of them and to discover or strengthen their capacity to meet those needs. Warmth and support without condemnation and judgment. Readiness to ask questions necessary for personal growth and development of the client. Willingness to build a reparative relationship with a client which provides an experience different from his usual one.
Each of us needs our authentic self to be seen, acknowledged, and accepted. This is my professional as well as personal philosophy and I warmly welcome anyone who needs an experienced and well-meaning companion in personal growth and development.

ABOUT ME
I’m Hana Fifić and I was born in Bihać in Bosnia and Herzegovina in 1980. Just as every person’s life writes novels, so has my non-linear life path led me through Šibenik and Sarajevo to Zürich, from not the happiest childhood and family, to love, a husband and beautiful twins, from music and teaching careers to my psychotherapy practice. In my free time, I am a passionate gardener and a sea lover. Other than that, I enjoy a nice meal, a good book or a movie, yoga, swimming, handicrafts and singing and playing with 5 chords.
