With a long expertise in psychopathology and developmental psychology, I think that a well-made diagnosis helps the person (child, adult) to understand themselves, as well as to rebuilt a fair narrative about them.
JK Rowling wrote : “Understanding is the first step to acceptance, and only with acceptance can there be recovery.”
I really like thinking about how stories we’ve been told, or we’re telling others about ourselves can shape who we are.
I integrate several therapeutic models within my work and take into consideration all the different demographic and personal factors as well as psychopathology and specific needs.
I’m aware of the need to adopt a tailored approach to each individual client.
I use different techniques and therapies which include CBT (Cognitive and Behavioural Therapy), DBT (Dialectal Behaviour Therapy), SFT (Solution Focused Therapy), ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy), Motivational interviewing, but also psychodynamic therapy, and person-centred therapy. I've also a NLP coaching certification.
With children, using drawing or games as media during the therapy sessions is my favourite practice.
It allows us to create and go beyond reality to allow the child to think and act out their difficulties.
I'm also helping parents to understand their child/adolescent's specific needs and help them to regain their confidence in their parenting abilities
I work in accordance with professional practice guidelines (HCPC and BPS) and I’m committed to Continuing Professional Development.
