Hi, I’m Eléonore Dziurzynski.
As my surname probably gives away, I am of Polish origin. My parents are both Swiss, but I was born in Toronto, grew up in London, and then returned to Switzerland where I graduated with a Masters of Political Science from Université de Lausanne.
Before becoming a therapist, I worked in advertising, communications, corporate social responsibility (CSR) and philanthropy.
I became familiar with worlds as far apart as trading and finance and the UN and human rights. This earlier career brought me to Rome, Bangkok and Yangon. I also travelled extensively for work, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa, Latin America and Asia. I loved being exposed to so many different cultures, ways of life and ways of thinking.
During my CSR/corporate philanthropy years, I interviewed and exchanged ideas with people from all walks of life. I was able to put them at ease, but I also learned a lot from them. I saw first-hand our shared humanity. Their struggles taught me humility, and their joys filled me with admiration.
I believe that through all of this I was preparing myself, without knowing it at the time, for a second career as a therapist. I am able to put myself in the shoes of many different people, particularly expatriates, and those who transition through, or end up staying in, Geneva.

Back in 2015, I saw a Psychosynthesis Counsellor for a few years as part of my own personal therapy. Trained in a transpersonal psychology modality – psychosynthesis – she made me feel so seen and so cared for – like no therapist ever had. Thanks to her exceptional intuition, empathy and guidance, I was able to reconnect with my power and to make some key decisions in my life. I left an unhealthy relationship, moved abroad, and a few years later decided that I wanted to become a Psychosynthesis Counsellor too.
As I left my former career behind and embarked on a completely new path, I was carried by one very clear thought. If I can help just one person in the way she has helped me, I will feel fulfilled. I will have accomplished something truly meaningful to me, aligned with what I believe to be my life’s purpose. And thus, my journey began.
