Carmen Graemiger MSc

Specialist Psychologist for Children and Adolescents FSP

School Psychologist

​​​

I have specific work experience as a School Psychologist for over twenty years both in Switzerland and abroad (Singapore).

​

In Switzerland, I used to work in schools with a large number of students with cultural and ethnic diversity. Most of them were children of immigrants from all over the world. 

The professional integration of the students has always been a very important goal of me. Therefore, I was involved in various time-out projects for adolescents in crisis or with behavioral issues who could not attend the mainstream classes anymore and to bring them back on track.

 

At the Swiss School in Singapore with mostly students of Expats I helped setting up the Special Needs Department for mainstream students with learning difficulties. There I provided psychological assessments and taught special needs children for three years. Also, I developed and implemented a project for support and enrichment, which involved all students of the classes P2 to P6 of the Swiss School Singapore in 2006.

​

Migration was an important issue in both, my own life and in my work. Therefore I am knowing what adaptation to a new culture, to a new language, and to a new environment looks and feels like.
