Subject:

As a client in my counselling room, Nicolas Piccolo-Leeser - Psychological Counselling, you can access a range of therapeutic treatments and consultations. Neither my therapy nor my consultations replace a thorough medical examination and treatment by a doctor. If you are experiencing symptoms that may have a medical cause, you are expressly advised to seek medical treatment.

Please note that the goal of my psychological counselling is to initiate a process of self-healing and personal development. My aim is to support you in overcoming psychological and psychosocial problems, gaining clarity about your future, activating resources to achieve your goals, and providing professional guidance through changes in your personal and professional life. As a client, you take full responsibility for your process. The counsellor is exempt from liability claims. The specific treatment goal will be defined at the beginning of our work together.
 

Counselling Success:

As a counsellor, I cannot guarantee the desired or planned success or the achievement of agreed-upon goals during our work together. However, both parties will work to the best of their ability to achieve a positive outcome as soon as possible.
 

Telephone and Online Consultations:

I offer paid telephone or online sessions for all topics listed on my website. Please inquire in advance about costs and schedule an appointment. Telephone/Skype consultations are available only after prepayment.

Please note that these consultations do not replace medical care. I accept no liability for any issues or health problems that may arise in connection with a telephone or Skype consultation. Please use the information from the telephone or online consultations responsibly.
 

Cancellation Policy:

My counselling services cannot be billed through health insurance. If you cancel at least 48 hours before the appointment, there will be no charge. For cancellations made less than 47 hours before the appointment, I will charge you for the full consultation hours.
 

Duration of Treatment and Termination:

The number of counselling sessions depends on your goals. Treatment or counselling ends when either party decides to terminate it.
 

Confidentiality:

Nicolas Piccolo-Leeser - Psychological Counselling is subject to confidentiality. Exceptions to confidentiality include the prevention or investigation of suspected crimes and the protection of higher legal interests.
 

Jurisdiction and Applicable Law:

Exclusively Swiss law applies between the contracting parties, and the jurisdiction is Zurich.

The treatment and counselling in my counselling room do not relieve you of full responsibility for your actions. If any issues arise, you agree to inform me in a timely manner and work together to find a solution.

By using this website, you agree to the collection, processing, and use of data in accordance with the following description. This website can generally be visited without registration. During this visit, data such as pages accessed or names of retrieved files, date, and time may be stored on the server for statistical purposes, without directly linking these data to your identity. Personal data, such as your name, address, or email address, are collected on a voluntary basis wherever possible. Your data will not be passed on to third parties without your consent.
 

Processing of Personal Data

Personal data refers to any information that relates to an identified or identifiable individual. A data subject is a person about whom personal data is processed. Processing refers to any handling of personal data, regardless of the means and procedures used, particularly storing, disclosing, obtaining, deleting, saving, altering, destroying, or using personal data.
 

We process personal data in accordance with Swiss data protection law. Furthermore, we process personal data—where and insofar as the EU GDPR applies—based on the following legal grounds in connection with Article 6(1) GDPR:

• (a) Processing of personal data with the consent of the data subject.

• (b) Processing of personal data for the fulfilment of a contract with the data subject or for the execution of pre-contractual measures.

• (c) Processing of personal data to comply with a legal obligation to which we are subject under applicable EU law or the law of a country where the GDPR is fully or partially applicable.

• (d) Processing of personal data to protect vital interests of the data subject or another natural person.

• (f) Processing of personal data to safeguard our legitimate interests or those of third parties, unless these are outweighed by the fundamental freedoms, rights, and interests of the data subject. Legitimate interests include our economic interest in providing our website, ensuring information security, enforcing our own legal claims, and complying with Swiss law.

We process personal data for the duration necessary for the purpose(s) for which it was collected. Where there are longer retention obligations due to legal or other duties, we restrict the processing accordingly.
