Therapy Zürich

My name is Lilla Bentkowska

I am a psychotherapist in training at the Institute of Integral Gestalt Psychotherapy in Cracow (Poland). I gained clinical experience at the Department of Family Therapy of the University Hospital in Cracow.

I am a philosopher and psychologist by training, and in my work and life I draw from both perspectives: a holistic reflection on the world and the existential dimension of life as well as psychological knowledge.

I work integratively, which means that depending on the need I develop and use different psychotherapeutic approaches, but the Gestalt approach remains my base.

In my therapeutic work with another person, I am guided by the thought of the poet J. Rumi:

„Your task is not to seek love, but only all those barriers within you that you have created against it.”

I firmly believe that being a therapist is based on helping people find such barriers. Therapy is my work and my passion.

I support people in overcoming personal and relational difficulties, getting in touch with their own feelings and finding inner sense of authenticity and empowerment. When working with couples, I draw from Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) approach to rebuilding connection and a sense of security in the relationship.

I work online and in my office in Zürich, where I live. I am happy to work with people living abroad and cross-cultural couples.

I invite you to an online meeting after prior email contact or an appointment at my office in Zürich: phone or email contact.
