Person
lic. phil. Sara Whitehouse
After studying psychology with a degree in business psychology, I worked as an assessor supporting the recruiting process of executives. As a result, my interest became strengthened in people since a long period of time, which motivated me to train as a cognitive behavioural therapist.
I grew up bilingually, therefore offer therapies in German and English.
With the training as a psychotherapist, I have found my career path.
After working in a variety of interesting in- and outpatient clinical appointments I am now looking forward to working for you in a group practice.
