Hello.
My name is Carolyn Jost.
I am an accredited Swiss Psychologist-Psychotherapist, pleased to offer psychological and psychotherapy services to the expatriate community in Switzerland and abroad.
A fellow expat, I grew up as a "Third Culture Kid" (term coined by sociologist Ruth Hill Useem). Having lived in Switzerland, the U.S.A, Italy, and the U.K, I have personally experienced the beautiful life of an expat, and have also experienced the adaptational and identity challenges that can come with it.
I haven't always been a Psychologist. Before I embarked on the journey to become a Psychologist, I pursued a Bachelor of Arts in History in the U.K. Indeed, I have always been fascinated by the study of personalities and I believe one of my greatest strengths as a psychologist is my ability to conceptualise, show links that are often well hidden, and offer hypotheses and analyses that make sense to my clients.
It is my hope that my professional and clinical experience as a psychologist, as well as my personal experiences as an expat, will provide you with the tools you are looking for to help you further adapt to your new life.
