Tony

Mr Tony Moody, M.Sc.

Psychological Counselor

“I am a highly experienced and highly qualified professional with almost 40 years experience of working with individuals, couples and families of all ages. I worked with social services and regional health authorities in the UK. I have worked in New Zealand and for 16 years have had my own consultancy in Switzerland.”

About Me

I am a licensed Psychological Counselor in Basel, Switzerland, offering counseling for abuse, addiction, anger, anxiety, and grief and loss. I provide trauma counseling, spiritual or faith-based counseling, and clinical hypnosis in a confidential setting.

Approach

Across a long clinical career, my sessions are steady, practical spaces where clients set the pace and I provide clear structure. I work with people in Basel and online in English, keeping the frame reliable and confidential so change can unfold between sessions at a realistic tempo. We focus on short, manageable interventions, gentle exploration of painful memories, and practical tools—sometimes including guided imagery or faith-consistent reflection—to build safety and choice. This approach suits those seeking steady, measured support through transition or recovery.
