Who is it for?
You don't have to be “really struggling” to seek help.
People often come to see a psychologist when they feel they are going round in circles, wearing themselves out or have lost their bearings. Here is what I help with most often.
Burnout
Tiredness that won't go away, loss of meaning, trouble switching off: take stock before setting off again.
Grief and separation
Getting through a loss, a divorce or a life change, without being left alone with what you feel.
Self-esteem
Constant self-criticism, holding back, comparing yourself: build a fairer view of yourself.
Trauma
An accident, an assault, a distressing event: EMDR helps to soothe memories that are still raw.
Teenagers
Low mood, relationships, school: a space of their own, with regular check-ins with parents if they wish.
My approach
Therapy adapted to you, not the other way round.
I work integratively: depending on what you bring and your pace, I draw on several recognised approaches. My role is not to tell you what to do, but to help you see more clearly and regain room for manoeuvre.
Sessions are a place to be listened to, without judgement. Everything said there stays confidential, under professional secrecy.
Cognitive behavioural therapy
Practical tools to work on anxiety, intrusive thoughts and the behaviours holding you back.
EMDR
A recognised method for processing traumatic memories and the emotions still attached to them.
Brief therapy
Work centred on your resources and goals, often over a limited number of sessions.

Frequently asked questions
You are probably wondering about these.
Do I need a referral to use Mon soutien psy?
No. You can book directly. Just remember to bring your carte Vitale to the session.
How many sessions should I expect?
It depends on what you come with. Some difficulties can be worked on in a few sessions, others need longer support. We talk about it together and review progress regularly.
Are online sessions just as effective?
For many concerns, yes. Online sessions are useful if you live far away, are short of time or prefer to talk from home. You can alternate with sessions at the practice.
What if I need to cancel?
You can cancel or move your appointment online up to 48 hours beforehand. After that, the session is still payable, except in cases of force majeure.
Does what I say in sessions stay confidential?
Yes. Psychologists are bound by professional secrecy. Nothing you say is passed on, except in a situation of serious danger, which we would discuss together.
