How I work
_edited.jpg)
Welcome to a session!
THE FRAMEWORK: I offer you a framework based on kindness, active listening, and dialogue.
​
The framework is fundamental - it guarantees your safety and our mutual commitment; it includes the frequency of the sessions, a code of ethics, respecting appointments, confidentiality...
​
OUR FIRST SESSION: We have decided to meet and after an initial conversation, choose to work together! Our first session will help us get to know each other, start developing our relationship, reiterate your request (and clarify if necessary), and ease into the discovery of Gestalt therapy.
​
The duration of the therapy and of the path it takes varies in relation to your request, your personal background... you are free to stop at any time, though we will finish with a closing session because it is important to take the time to bring certain subjects to a close and to end things with care.
The pillars of our relationship
“With discussion comes light”
Indian proverb
Like a lighthouse in a storm: My goal is creating a safe space for you. I guarantee confidentiality and the professional frameworks of my approaches. I also follow a strict code of ethics and participate in regular supervisions.
​
A sunbeam that warms you: I adapt my approach to your uniqueness and welcome you as you are with generosity, kindness and without judgement.
Allowing you to shine: wherever you may be in the world, and whether we see each other face-to-face in Douvaine or Geneva, or by visio-conference comfortably settled in your home. I adapt to your needs and rythme, and can consult in French, English or Spanish.
Reflecting your uniqueness: because life is a succession of events that challenge us. My approach is based on a large variety of tools (I’m certified in Appreciative Inquiry, Positive psychology, Gestalt Therapy, NVC) that serve your personal journey. Depending on what we discover together, I may propose different readings or exercises, and may also suggest a personality profile test (Clifford StrengthsFinder, DISC…) which I will interpret with you. I bring in the best of new trends and combine them with a solid foundation.
