Couple & Family Consultation

What Couple & Family Consultation does

Couple & Family Consultation (legal entity: La Consultation SA) is a private Swiss ambulatory psychotherapy and psychiatry practice founded in 2013 and headquartered in Montreux, canton Vaud. The organization delivers individual, couple, family, and group psychotherapy services across 12 locations in French-speaking Switzerland (Romandie) and Ticino, deliberately positioned in peripheral towns to improve mental healthcare access for patients outside major urban centers. Its clinical portfolio covers adult psychotherapy, child and adolescent therapy, family and couples therapy, group therapy (including mindfulness-based programs), structured burnout rehabilitation, psychological assessment (cognitive and projective batteries, ADHD diagnostics), and EMDR-based trauma treatment. Services are delivered by an interdisciplinary team that includes psychiatrists, psychologists, psychiatric nurses, occupational therapists, and speech therapists, and are covered by Swiss basic health insurance (LAMal) subject to medical prescription.

The practice operates a direct-to-consumer healthcare model: patients schedule via the website or secretariat, and revenue is generated through per-session fees billed to patients (with reimbursement routed via basic Swiss health insurance). Referrals originate from general practitioners, medical specialists, schools, and protection services, supplemented by word-of-mouth. The organization is led by Emmanuelle Jost (Director of the psychologist/psychotherapist entity) and Dr. Aurelio d'Alba Mastropaolo (Medical Director of the ambulatory medical establishment), both with federal-level credentials and active memberships across multiple Swiss psychiatric and medical societies. The Ticino entity was added in 2017 and reorganized in 2023 to align with evolving regulatory requirements for psychologists and psychotherapists.

From a commercial standpoint, the practice is an unlisted Swiss stock corporation (SA) with no disclosed parent company, external investors, or acquisition history. Back-office operations rely on Medidata for billing and patient portal services. No proprietary software, AI/ML systems, or digital product extensions are evidenced in the data, and revenue figures are not publicly disclosed.

Emerging players

• MindDoc: DACH mental health app and online therapy platform offering CBT-based self-help and remote psychotherapy. Comparable as a psychotherapy provider in the same German-speaking market with a digital-first delivery model.
• Selfapy: DACH-region online psychotherapy and mental health coaching provider. Comparable as a psychotherapy provider targeting the same Swiss/German-speaking populations, with a contrasting digital delivery model.
• BetterHelp: Largest online therapy platform globally, serving customers in Europe including Switzerland. Represents the digital-delivery model La Consultation has not adopted, and a key competitive threat to traditional in-person outpatient practices.

Regional players

• Sanatorium Kilchberg: Swiss private psychiatric hospital near Zurich offering inpatient and outpatient psychotherapy, including trauma and mood-disorder programs. Comparable on Swiss psychotherapy delivery and multimodal therapeutic approach.
• Klinik Arlesheim: Swiss hospital combining anthroposophic medicine with psychiatry and psychotherapy across integrated inpatient and outpatient programs. Comparable as a Swiss psychotherapy provider with a strong multidisciplinary team and quality-led brand.

Broad incumbents

• RehaClinic: Swiss rehabilitation clinic group offering psychosomatic and psychiatric rehabilitation programs across multiple cantonal sites. Comparable on multi-site Swiss outpatient/inpatient mental health delivery and on integrated psychotherapy programming.
• Hirslanden: Largest private hospital group in Switzerland, with psychiatry and psychotherapy as part of a broader multispecialty portfolio. Comparable as a Swiss private mental health provider but serves inpatient/acute needs alongside its outpatient offerings.
• Schoen Clinic: Germany- and UK-based hospital group with a strong psychiatric, psychosomatic and psychotherapeutic program. Comparable on multimodal psychotherapy delivery (CBT, systemic, EMDR-adjacent trauma work) but at much larger scale and with inpatient capacity.

Direct peers

• Medbase Group: Swiss outpatient medical network operating primary care, specialist and therapy services across multiple cantonal sites. Directly comparable to La Consultation in multi-site outpatient healthcare delivery to Swiss patients, with overlapping psychotherapy and psychiatric services.
• The Kusnacht Practice: Swiss private mental health and addiction treatment provider near Zurich offering individualized psychotherapy, psychiatry and trauma (incl. EMDR-adjacent) programs. Directly comparable on outpatient/private psychotherapy model serving Swiss and international patients, with overlapping therapeutic modalities.
