About me
I am Maëlle Chauffour, french clinical psychologist based in Berlin since 2019.
My professional journey has been diverse and focused on psychological well-being.
In the psychiatric sector, I provided support to adults in psychological crisis at a week hospital in Paris. I also worked with children and adolescents in various medical-psychological centers in Paris.
In the field of education, I contributed to the development of young children in Franco-German Kita in Berlin. I also provided support to adolescents and their families at the French High school in Berlin.
In private practice, I worked at the Centre Pensées, where I conducted long-term psychotherapy (for children, teenagers and adults).
I am currently offering therapies for adults in my practice.
Furthermore, it is particularly important to me to stay informed, continue my education, and maintain connections with my peers. I am currently a member of the Psy Expat network and the French Federation of Psychologists and Psychology.
Psychologue clinicienne expatriée à Berlin depuis plusieurs années.
Mon cheminement professionnel est diversifié et axé sur le bien-être psychologique.
Dans le secteur psychiatrique et médico-social, j'ai apporté mon soutien à des adultes en crise psychique au sein d'un hôpital de semaine à Paris. J'ai également travaillé avec des enfants et des adolescents dans divers centres médico-psychologiques parisiens.
Dans le domaine de l'éducation, j'ai contribué au développement de jeunes enfants au sein de crèches franco-allemandes à Berlin. J'ai également offert un accompagnement aux adolescents et à leurs familles au Lycée Français de Berlin.
Dans l'exercice libéral, j'ai travaillé au Centre Pensées, où j'ai mené des psychothérapies de longue durée.
Par ailleurs, il me tient particulièrement à cœur de rester informée et de poursuivre ma formation. Je suis membre du réseau Psy Expat et de la Fédération Française des Psychologues et de Psychologie.
