Option 1 Who am I? During my adolescence, I struggled to find my place. What role should I play in all of this? How can I overcome challenges while remaining calm on the surface? Which path should I take in order to “succeed,” and above all, according to which criteria? During this long journey, I turned to therapy. First as a patient, then as a student (ImaGo Centre), and now as a therapist. I was then able to observe, participate in, and practise therapy in all its forms. If you too are facing challenges for which you cannot find a solution, “why” questions without answers, or uncertainty about the future. I would be delighted to help you find your rightful place, so that you can connect with the person you truly are at your core. With compassion, respect, and serenity. Option 2 Who am I? During my adolescence, I spent a long time searching for my place. What role should I play in this world? How can I get through life’s challenges while maintaining, outwardly, calm and stability? Which path should I take in order to “succeed,” and, above all, according to which criteria? These questions stayed with me for many years and naturally led me towards therapy. First as a patient, then as a student at the ImaGo Centre, and today as a therapist. This journey enabled me to discover therapy from different perspectives: that of the person seeking answers, that of the student learning and experimenting, and finally that of the therapist who supports others in turn. Over the years, I have been able to observe, participate in, and practise various therapeutic approaches. These experiences have profoundly shaped the way I view support: with attentive listening, compassion, respect, and without judgment. I believe that, at certain points in our lives, we can all find ourselves facing challenges for which we cannot find a solution, “whys” that remain unanswered, or uncertainties about the future. My role is not to tell you who you should be or which path to take, but to support you in discovering your own answers. If you feel the need to better understand yourself, to find your rightful place again, or simply to move forward with greater peace of mind, I would be happy to support you in reconnecting with the person you truly are. With kindness, respect, and serenity. (I prefer the shorter one)
