I accompany you in meeting what may be limiting your unfolding. Together, we move, patiently and practically, towards greater inner integration and safety, and a deeper trust in life.
My approach, rooted in Relational Intelligence®, can be described as primarily “bottom-up”. We begin by addressing what creates dissociation in the body, allowing the nervous system — which fundamentally shapes our psychological and relational organisation — to regain a more flexible and adaptive way of functioning, better suited to the circumstances of our present life.
Establishing relational safety within the therapeutic relationship, together with a nuanced understanding of the nervous system and attachment, allows us not only to understand ourselves, but also to recalibrate our nervous system (thanks to neuroplasticity!) and support the body-mind in becoming more securely organised. We invite it to take part in this movement towards greater safety, trust and fulfilment — qualities that are already part of our natural capacity. We do this by meeting and respecting the dissociative patterns that were put in place to protect us at times in our lives when they were necessary. It may seem paradoxical, but we can learn to appreciate these traumatic adaptations for the ways in which they once served us.
My approach is holistic, in the sense that it takes into account the bodily, psychological and spiritual dimensions of trauma and of our being.
My experience is that the more we understand and release what creates trauma, dissociation or stuck patterns in us, or keeps patterns from the past active in our present lives, the more we can discover who we truly are — whether we call it the authentic Self, our True Nature, the soul, or something else — and reconnect with qualities such as strength, joy, power, confidence and a sense of personal value…
Whether your aim in therapy is to regain a sense of safety within yourself and in your relationships, free yourself from certain addictive behaviours, cultivate a trusting and secure attachment, or explore your deeper nature, I would be happy to accompany you for part of your journey.
I see clients in my practice in Dordogne (Tourtoirac), or online, in both French and English.
