Together, we can
stop bullying!
I’ll show you how.
I support parents and schools with bullying and cyberbullying and train professionals.
What it’s about
Bullying starts quietly
Bullying rarely starts with something that is immediately recognisable as bullying. It begins with small put-downs that are easily overlooked in everyday life or dismissed as a conflict. If nobody reacts, the group takes this as silent permission.
Recipes, checklists and guidelines fall short with such a complex issue, because what works in one situation can have the opposite effect in another. Prevention and intervention only become effective when the whole system is taken into account: the child affected, the group, the families, the school and what we adults contribute.
For 16 years I have been working with families and schools on bullying and cyberbullying. My approach is rooted in Alfred Adler’s Individual Psychology and combines research with practice.
“I value her positive and appreciative attitude towards everyone involved in entangled bullying situations. I warmly recommend Christelle’s services for parents, schools and professionals.”
Slobodanka Stjepanović, school social worker

Feedback on counselling and training
“Absolutely recommended! The HABA programme allowed me to dive deep into the topic of bullying and, even as a school social worker, showed me valuable new perspectives. Thanks to Christelle’s expertise and positive energy, you go back to work inspired and motivated. Another highlight is the mix of participants: the exchange across different disciplines adds enormous value.”
Moni Brand, school social worker
“Christelle Schläpfer knows how to introduce the topic of bullying in a captivating, vivid and practical way. Her seminar day was full of ‘aha’ moments. It opened my eyes to the complex dynamics underlying bullying, and to the fact that a successful intervention cannot focus only on the ‘perpetrator’ or the ‘victim’, but must change the group dynamics.”
Fabian Grolimund, psychologist and author, head of the Akademie für Lerncoaching in Zurich
“There are few places parents can turn to when it comes to bullying. Christelle Schläpfer fills this gap. She is extremely competent and helpful. She is able to change perspectives and show what is needed. For us as a school, she is a very welcome contact in an area where we largely lack experience.”
Monika B., head teacher
“A wonderful personality who conveys her content in a practical, well-founded and understandable way, with great expertise. Not just presented, but worked through with the audience, with real ‘aha’ moments. Also incredibly competent, individual and personal in the one-to-one conversation afterwards. Highly recommended!”
Review after a talk for parents, September 2026
“I am generally very critical and have often experienced poor speakers. With you it was different: even though I already know a lot about the topic, I could have listened to you for ages. You could feel that bullying is close to your heart.”
Carina Marti, school social worker
“Christelle Schläpfer delivered tailor-made training based on our input. Specifically tailored to Montlingen lower secondary school and its needs, it was an exciting, useful and very interesting training. Many thanks for the competent and straightforward approach.”
Martin Sutter, head teacher, Montlingen lower secondary school
“Christelle Schläpfer is THE expert when it comes to bullying and cyberbullying. Her expertise is enormous. Bullying has many faces, and the options for action that participants take away are just as varied. I recommend her with conviction, for our children and against bullying!”
Barbara Forster-Zanettin, primary school teacher, owner of redeweise.ch
“You can tell that Ms Schläpfer is very familiar with the topic of bullying and can speak from different positions and experiences. She conveys not only what she has learned, but processes she has experienced and developed in dealing with bullying.”
Brigitte W., teacher
“Your input gave me a great deal of new knowledge, much deeper than anything I had learned about bullying before. I found it fascinating how important it is to deal properly with those doing the bullying too, not just with the child affected.”
Rahel Märki, primary school teacher
“As multifaceted as bullying is, so multifaceted is the training at edufamily®. True to Alfred Adler’s motto ‘Everything could also be quite different’, Christelle never loses sight of being fair to all sides. This training contains everything children, parents and schools need to live as an encouraging community and so prevent bullying in the long term.”
Anita Jordan, parenting counsellor AAI
