My areas of intervention

Certain periods in life can lead us to question our sense of direction, our choices, or the way we move forward. Difficulties, personal or professional transitions, an experience abroad, or a significant life change can sometimes bring up doubts, emotions, or a feeling of having lost one’s sense of meaning.

 

As a psychologist, I offer you a space where you can take the time to pause, put words to your experience, and gain a better understanding of what you are going through.

 

My support is particularly aimed at people going through a life transition or an experience of living abroad, as well as those navigating multicultural environments — themes that are also particularly meaningful to me. It is for those who feel the need to find a new sense of balance and well-being, to better understand themselves, and to find new points of reference.

 

Through attentive, compassionate, and non-judgmental listening, I accompany you through this process, at your own pace and with close attention to what you are experiencing.

Starting therapy is, above all, about giving yourself the space and time to better understand yourself, explore what you are experiencing today, and make sense of your journey.

 

Therapeutic work is built on an authentic and compassionate relationship, where you can gradually put words to what you are experiencing, including your emotions, questions, and difficulties.

 

Our history, our relationships, and the experiences that have shaped our lives all influence the way we see ourselves, relate to others, and navigate the situations we face today. Understanding these experiences can help us gain insight into certain patterns and open up new possibilities.

 

But our story is not defined solely by what has been difficult. It is also made up of resources, strengths, learnings, and the ability to adapt. Therapeutic work, supported by appropriate tools, can help you reconnect with these resources, recognise them, and draw on them more fully as you move forward.

A family-based approach aims to shed light on relational dynamics and bring underlying unspoken issues to the surface, allowing family members to free themselves from the weight of unconscious family patterns.

​

It therefore seeks to identify established relational dynamics, as well as fears, anxieties, and emotional wounds, in order to foster a better mutual understanding through healthy communication that respects each individual.

A systemic family approach can be particularly beneficial in this regard, as it looks at each person’s actions and reactions within a living, adaptable, and organised “system”, where each individual may be invited to adjust or redefine their role or function in order to move towards a more satisfying family balance.

​

Every family develops its own patterns of balance, roles, and ways of relating over time. In particular, when living abroad — a topic to which I pay particular attention — familiar points of reference may change, which can sometimes reveal or intensify certain family dynamics. In this context, I can offer family support that helps shed light on what is happening within relationships, acknowledge each person’s place and needs, and work together towards a more balanced dynamic within a new multicultural environment.​

Being in a relationship means bringing together two histories, two sensitivities, and two ways of seeing the world, while building a relationship that evolves over time.

​

There are times when communication becomes more difficult, misunderstandings recur, conflicts take up more space, or a distance gradually develops between partners. These moments can be an opportunity to better understand what is happening within the relationship and to rediscover a space for connection.

​

Couples work allows each partner to express what they are feeling, to hear and understand the other from a different perspective, and to reopen a dialogue where the relationship may have become strained. Every couple is unique, so the work is adapted to their history, their needs, and the way they wish to develop their relationship.

Living abroad and navigating multiculturalism within a relationship — themes that are particularly meaningful to me — can intensify relational dynamics. The encounter between two cultures can be a source of richness for a couple, while also bringing differences in values, points of reference, or ways of experiencing the relationship to the surface. Multiculturalism within a couple can therefore challenge established points of reference and reveal dynamics that had previously been less visible, which may destabilise either partner. It can also affect roles, expectations, and the balance within the relationship.

​

I can offer couples support to better understand what is happening within this encounter, make space for each partner’s history and sensitivity, and build a balance that respects both worlds. It is about creating a space to understand what is happening within the relationship, acknowledge each person’s needs, and allow the relationship to evolve towards a new balance.
