Psychologists are health professionals with a protected title based on recognised university training. To practise, they must be registered with the Commission des Psychologues and comply with the code of ethics (professional secrecy).

Within this framework of trust, the counsellor offers a different perspective on the difficulties facing the individual or a member of their family, as well as an attentive and sympathetic ear. Through their guidance work, they develop new tools with the patient to help them better manage their day-to-day difficulties and thus (re)establish personal fulfilment.

Psychological follow-up :

The brief therapies offered are part of the cognitive and behavioural stream of clinical psychology. They enable us to tackle current problems, whether they are linked to negative ideas or problematic behaviour. Priority is given to the resources available to (re)find a lifestyle that is better adapted to the demands of reality. During therapeutic follow-up, the "Rogérienne" or person-centred approach is proposed. The patient is taken into account as a whole, with active listening, empathy and non-judgement, in order to support change and help regain autonomy and freedom.

Indications:

- Behavioural, anxiety and mood disorders (stress, anxiety and specific anxieties)

- Help with a range of challenging life events: feeling unwell and questioning life, self-questioning and self-knowledge

- Emotional or relationship problems, parental burnout, etc.

Strategic conversational hypnosis or PTR (trauma reassociative psychotherapy) :

Another powerful and effective tool is strategic conversational hypnosis PTR (or trauma reassociative psychotherapy). It provides gentle, rapid support for a range of therapeutic needs, from the very young to the very old. Sometimes we are faced with problems that seem to have no solution or that seem to persist despite various attempts to resolve them.

Why is this?

Difficult experiences leave strong emotional imprints in our archaic brain; these are known as micro-traumas or traumas, depending on how the person experienced the situation. We therefore need to work at this level of our brain's "hard drive" to erase and/or modulate the emotional traces that have been left behind. Far from hypnosis for entertainment purposes, PTR is an active collaboration between the practitioner and the person concerned, with the aim of desensitising problematic past moments and treating the resulting symptoms. In fact, hypnosis corresponds to a natural altered state of consciousness (between wakefulness and sleep) that is similar to "being in the moonlight". At no time is there any loss of control; the patient is never 'asleep', absent or passive (saying or doing things against their will). On the contrary, they will gradually learn to regain control over the difficulties that are troubling them, whether in terms of physical symptoms (such as pain) or emotional symptoms. This approach is therefore suitable for a wide range of problems.
