The question that comes very ofter is to know when and why consult a psychologist. One can decide to consult for many reasons. In general, it is an internal suffering and uneasiness that motivate to meet a therapist. Whether it is for a few sessions in order to solve a temporay issue, or a long-term therapy, the trainging of the psychologist allows him/her to support the patient in the understanding of his/her sufferings, and to work together towards the most favorable outcome. 

The main values on which I base my practice are empathy, benevolent neutrality, active listening, respect and authenticity. I offer counselling for various issues and challenges : 

• Individual counselling : Emotional, relational, social and/or cultural problems ( Anxiety disorders, mood and affective disorders, depression, relationship difficulties, addictions, loss and mourning, etc) .The purpose of the counselling is to support the person towards a better understanding of his/her sufferings in order to give them a meaning. The therapy is not only about removing the symptom, but also about understanding the unconscious reasons that have led to it. 

• Children and teen counselling : Academic difficulties, behavioral disorders, obsessive disorders, child anxiety, depression, addictions etc. Therapy with children and teenagers always includes his family in the process of care. The consultations can be done with or without the presence of the family, depending on the situation.

• Intercultural situations  : Cultural issues related to exile and migration, dealing with traumas and identity disorders

• Personal Development : For anyone willing to work on themselves to a better understanding of their personality and their needs, in order to accept themselves fully. 

All these measures respect the professional secrecy, the well-being and the interest of the patient. Each intervention is in accordance with the ethics code to which the psychologist is bound.
