About me

Madina Fassassi, UKCP psychotherapist offering Gestalt therapy in Geneva.

I am an experienced psychotherapist with a body-oriented and relational approach. I am a member of the Swiss Association of Gestalt Therapists (apsG), accredited by the UKCP (UK Council for Psychotherapy) and by the Swiss Foundation for Complementary Medicine, ASCA. I have been practising psychotherapy for over twelve years.

I am passionate about supporting my clients in accessing their innate capacity for healing, connection, and growth. I feel it is a privilege to be alongside them as they reconnect with parts of themselves that may have been set aside or forgotten — and to witness the sense of wholeness and vitality that can emerge from this process. My own journey, enriched through both individual and group therapy, has shown me the transformative potential of this work.

Following a career in European and international public policy in Brussels and London, I chose to redirect my professional path towards psychotherapy, a field that deeply resonates with who I am. Attentiveness to others and to relationships lies at the heart of my practice.

Over the years, I have worked in diverse settings — including medical practices, charities, and private practice —and I welcome clients from all backgrounds. I offer both brief and longer-term therapy, depending on individual needs.
