Questions

Companionship is private, one-to-one human support through periods of transition, recovery and change. It brings conversation, movement, shared experience and continuity into the part of life that happens between professional appointments.

For people who need more continuity than a series of separate sessions can offer. This may include people moving through loss, recovery, isolation, relocation, a demanding transition or a return to ordinary life after intensive treatment or retreat.

When you understand a great deal but still find daily life difficult to navigate alone. It can also help when structure, movement, contact or a steady rhythm would make the next step more possible.

We might talk, walk, move, train, share a meal, attend an appointment, begin a practical task, visit a cultural place or spend quiet time together. The form follows the person and the situation.

Companionship is neither treatment nor a fixed programme of goals and sessions. It works in ordinary life and through relationship, presence and continuity. It can complement therapy or coaching without replacing either.

Yes. With your consent, Companionship can support the direction already agreed with qualified professionals. Clinical responsibility remains with them. Companionship does not diagnose, treat or change medical advice.

No. We begin with what is happening, what feels difficult and what kind of presence might be useful. A diagnosis is neither required nor provided.

The first conversation is partly about fit. You should feel able to be direct, disagree and set limits. If the relationship does not feel useful or appropriate, the work does not begin.

You describe the situation in your own way. We consider what might help, what would be outside the role and whether there is a clear reason to work together. There is no pressure to continue.

The rhythm is agreed individually. It may be one intensive encounter, regular meetings each week, half or full days, or closer contact during a particular transition.

It may last for one meeting, several weeks or a longer passage of life. We agree a first period, review it openly and avoid continuing by default.

In Zürich, at home, outdoors, in everyday or cultural settings, and during travel by arrangement. The location should serve the purpose while protecting privacy and clear professional boundaries.

Yes. A family member, clinic or trusted person may introduce us or arrange payment. The person receiving Companionship remains the client and must freely consent to the work and any sharing of information.

Before beginning, we agree availability, communication, confidentiality, touch, information-sharing, fees and endings. Personal work still needs clear professional limits.

Fees depend on the time, rhythm, location and level of availability involved. After the first conversation, the scope and full cost are agreed clearly before any work begins.
