My Approach
I am committed to offering an attentive, benevolent, and respectful presence, honoring your pace. My role is to support you towards greater inner stability, self-understanding, and freedom in your daily life.
A Humanistic and Integrative Approach
My approach is:
person-centered and focused on the quality of the relationship
integrative, combining several therapeutic tools
informed by attachment theory
enlightened by psychotraumatology
rooted in great attention to internal safety
Therapy: A Meeting Above All
Therapy begins with a meeting.
That's why I always suggest a first session: it allows you to feel if you are safe, and it allows me to see if I can support you.
Manifestations of Attachment and Trauma
I am particularly attentive to attachment issues and traumas, which can manifest as:
- Relationship difficulties
- Stress or anxiety
- Post-traumatic stress disorder
- Addictions or eating disorders
- Anxiety or panic attacks
- Lack of self-confidence
- Depression
The Body as Guide and Ally
In my approach, the body occupies a central place. It often carries the traces of past experiences: tension, fatigue, digestive problems, pain, disturbed sleep, or psychosomatic symptoms are sometimes signs of a nervous system trying to protect itself.
To address these manifestations and promote regulation, we can use different tools:
Psychoeducation
An approach that combines psychology and education to help you better understand, identify, and manage your psychological difficulties.
Creative Mediations
Use of expressive techniques to explore non-verbalized emotions and experiences.
Therapeutic Play
For children, a playful method to express their feelings and process their internal conflicts.
Grounding, Breathing, and Body Regulation Exercises
Gentle bodily practices to calm the nervous system, regain self-presence, and cultivate a sense of inner security.
These tools help to regain self-presence, calm the nervous system, and open up a clearer space to understand what is happening.
The Importance of Attachment and Security
Our internal security is built in our first attachment relationships, and then replayed throughout life. It influences how we connect, our bodily reactions, our impulses, our fears, and how we perceive ourselves.
Creating a safe space is therefore an essential pillar of my approach .
When the body and mind work together, what was once fixed can begin to transform. Tensions, blockages, or vital impulses become valuable benchmarks for understanding your history and moving forward at your own pace.
"The need for love is the foundation that binds us to one another. However gifted or skillful an individual may be, they cannot survive alone."
Dalai Lama
Sessions that adapt to you
A session may include:
a time for discussion
a gentle bodily exploration
putting thoughts, emotions, needs, or memories into words
concrete tools to regain stability and calm
Nothing is imposed: you remain free to accept, adjust, or refuse.
The intention is never performance, but a respectful exploration of what you are experiencing today.
