Therapy... Counselling... Psychotherapy... Individual... Couple... In a group... ?
Therapy often starts with questions... such as these...
Someone close to me has recommended counselling, but I don't know what to expect from it. How can I clarify my approach?
Therapy seems out of proportion, but I'd like to be accompanied when I'm having occasional difficulties. What's possible?
Is therapy necessarily long? How long does it last?
I've learned that what I suffer from is called... anxiety disorder (phobias, recurrent anguish or anxiety, panic attacks, obsessive disorders, post-traumatic stress), eating disorder, sleep disorder, addiction (substances, video games, gambling, emotional and/or sexual dependency), depression, or attention disorder... Are there any concrete solutions, and if so, what are they?
I'm thinking of consulting a therapist for a specific problem, and I don't know which “method” I should favor. How do I choose?
They're all legitimate, and it's a good thing! Because therapy is above all the art of questioning oneself, of giving meaning to one's own experiences so as to better transform them, avoiding what doesn't work anymore or causes unnecessary suffering.
Your questions are therefore invaluable: they can show you, and show us during the sessions, which way to start and where to go. Above all, let's talk about it.
And to make sure your explorations are as safe as possible, here are a few details.
Traumatic situations
Traumatic situations
Among the difficulties we can encounter, natural or provoked traumas call for specific treatment, aimed in particular at feelings experienced as invasive, or at the very least disturbing, in daily life.
In some cases, old traumas can also be brought to the surface by situations that lead to a symbolic or real re-experiencing of the original trauma.
Brief, structured intervention techniques such as EMDR, hypnosis and NLP help to rapidly recreate emotional security - while in the case of EMDR, treating the traumatic anchor at its root.
The consultation process
The consultation process
I offer private consultations for adults, couples, and families (parents with their children, brothers & sisters who want to change their relations...).
The length of a therapy depends on the nature of the work, your request and your needs: from a few sessions for occasional support, a few months for couple or family therapy, often longer for individual therapy.
Psychotherapy is a journey, with stages we cannot or shouldn't skip. However, this journey is made with the awareness of progress: let's start getting better right now!
As a general rule, transactional analysis sessions last between 45 minutes to 55 minutes, with one session every week or two, and EMDR sessions last between 1 hour 15 and 1 hour 30 minutes, with one session every week.
In ongoing traumatic situations, or when emotional stability is difficult to achieve, it can be advisable to increase the frequency of sessions for a while.
When it makes sense, for example after an initial period of individual sessions, I can suggest that you join group sessions, conducted of course in a safe, caring environment. They enable us to go further and/or faster in our work, thanks to the diversity of the people we meet, the interactions that are thus possible, and the decoding that we do together.
People who take part in group sessions almost always testify that, after some initial apprehension, they quickly find their place, and that they feel they are making much faster progress in their therapeutic work.

About me
What we can discuss together, and in what way
What we can discuss together, and in what way
My approach is relational, supportive and protective, always geared towards the practical resolution of your difficulties and the lasting achievement of your autonomy, in a balance between the search for well-being and in-depth work: on the long term, both are necessary.
The topics we can address together are wide-ranging: they may be manifest psychological disorders, difficulties in relationships with family or close friends, social or love failure, sexual difficulties, bereavement, or simply a non-specific malaise or suffering.
In the case of couples and families, we work together by looking at what makes up a “system”, observing the relationships between its members without judgement, becoming aware of how each contributes in one way or another to the functioning of the whole, and endeavouring to formulate or reformulate a common project.
Sometimes, it is also necessary to deal with traumas “inherited” from the family past, by questioning the traces they may have left and the way they still impact on your functioning and/or that of your family.
My practice and ethical framework
My practice and ethical framework
I base my practice and diagnoses on transactional analysis, which determines my ethical framework.
I am also trained in EMDR, solution-oriented therapies, NLP, hypnosis, systemic therapies, family constellations, puppet mediation, etc. Thus, I integrate several approaches: cognitive-behavioral, analytical, psychoanalytical, systemic, bioenergetic... using either depending on what emerges from our talks.
I am supervised in several of these areas, with regular anchoring and peer group work with fellow practitioners in transactional analysis and EMDR. The supervision process involves examining one's practice under the gaze of experienced colleagues and qualified supervisors, in order to enhance skills, encourage critical reflection and ensure the quality of clinical interventions.
As a complement to relational therapy, I use EMDR to alleviate the emotional and, to a certain extent, physical impact of situations and traumas, whether recent or dating back to childhood, uterine life or even transgenerational inheritance.
