About me
I’m a French certified gestalt psychotherapist with 20 years of experience. I have lived a significant part of my life outside my home country (North Africa, Japan, Europe). I’m currently established in Comoros Islands, which is a promising territory to explore and understand -for me and the people I assist- various aspects of their personal health growth. I’m particularly sensitive to the uniqueness of each single human being and this requires me tailoring and adjust the therapeutic processes to make it suitable for each one. I believe that the establishment of a healthy therapeutic relationship is one of the most powerful tool to progress and grow.

Approach
You will be invited into a safe space of genuine dialogue. In my work I focus on building trustworthy client-therapist alliance, where one can feel safe and confident to be themselves. I work within the framework of gestalt therapy, which is an intersection of humanistic and existential approaches where the client is an active participant of the therapy process. I will help you to focus on self-awareness by offering new perspectives and effective changes through a deeper understanding of the present and one's thoughts, feelings, behaviors, and the related patterns. Our work will promote the reestablishment of an authentic contact with others, a creative adjustment to the environment, as well as an awareness of the mechanisms that often push us to some repetitive unhealthy behaviors. The therapy will be about restoring life and flexibility, allowing you to build healthy and nourishing relationships in a creative way, regaining good mental, physical and social health.
