What Does

Psychotherapy With Me Actually Looks Like?

I offer a personalized integration of modalities built on your family’s needs and situation, although I always meet the parents first to explore the challenges and experiences of your child and your family over time.

Information will be shared not to make a psychological diagnosis of a disorder your child might have, but to foster an understanding of what is underlying the present challenges. For example, you will be invited to share the history of the parental couple, the developmental of your child and about your own history of attachment during our interviews. I aim to support reflexive capacities of the parent while building a safe space for the whole family, both part of the therapeutical process.

Parents first

Raising a child (and ourselves along the way!) can be one of the most demanding and meaningful journeys in life. It’s normal to face moments of confusion, frustration, or worry. Family-oriented psychotherapy offers space to make sense of these moments rather than navigate them alone.

Research shows that safety within the parent-child relationship is built through a sense of coherence. When we feel safe enough, we can reflect, and when we better understand ourselves and our child, we can offer the regulation and connection they need.

Supporting you as a parent is therefore not a detour; it is one of the most powerful ways to support your child’s development.

We Can Only Nurture It.

Let’s Talk About

Parental Guidance

My goal within a parental guidance session is to provide you with a big enough sense of safety and authenticity within our relationship so that you can freely explore the resonances between your child’s experiences and your own.

I will help you to identify how your child’s challenges are naturally challenging for you too and how you can relate to inner self in a way that creates more space for your child and your own healing across generations.

Within the theoretical frame of attachment and interpersonal neurobiology , I will support you in decoding your childs behaviours in terms emotions, perceptions and responses of the nervous system while uncovering your own responses to this beautiful mess, so you get to see your child for who they really are .

It is from that place of clarity and connection and that you will cultivate the parts of you needed to act in line with what you hold dear within the relationship with your child.

The parent-child relationship might be one of the most challenging areas of your life, but it is also an invitation to come back to essential parts of yourself serving your growth as well.

Art of

Psychotherapy with a Child

We offer psychotherapy for children within a family-oriented approach. Our goal is to create a safe and supportive space where your child can freely express themselves, embracing both their strengths and challenges.

This sense of safety, essential for emotional growth, cannot be forced. Together with you, we nurture the conditions that allow your child, and you as a parent, to feel secure, accepted, and fully human.

Being with a child while being with your emotions in a way that fosters safety and growth is easier said than done. It is an Art that inspires me to study, reflect and meditate on every day to create the best therapeutic environment I can for each unique family I meet.

Play has a foundational role in an encounter with a child. Children tend to communicate their emotions symbolically, rather than rationally explaining their problems to us and change often happens through this medium.

Its not about getting rid of undesirable parts or feelings, its about learning HOW TO BE WITH them.

Working with you and your child

Express and Regulate Emotions

Our interventions involving your child focus on supporting the expression and regulation of their emotions, perceptions, and challenges through play.

Together, we will explore the nature of your involvement and decide how you will be integrated into the process. At times, this may mean joining your child in play sessions; at others, it may take the form of dedicated parental guidance sessions.

The safe and protected space we create for your child also extends to you. Your child’s play offers a direct window into their world, and we work to translate this in ways that foster your understanding, encourage acceptance of who they truly are, and deepen the resonance in your relationship.

All of my interventions, whether with children or parents, are guided by the belief that growth emerges through connection with ourselves and with others. Each family brings its own story, and creative ways to nurture this connection arise uniquely in the work we do together.

Growth and connection

My Theoretical Foundations

I have a developmental approach meaning that my focus is on the developmental process of the child and the parents and the mechanisms involved in supporting or impinging their adaptation, with a particular focus on how the child’s unique constitution evolves within the relationship to their attachment figures, who were themselves once a child!

To get to these layers, I draw from an integrated set of theoretical foundations in constant evolution including:

Developmental sciences including attachment and the interpersonal neurobiology field of study
Relationship-focused models of intervention including the program Circle of Security Parenting
Play based models of intervention
My therapeutic interventions are also anchored in psychodynamic and humanistic foundations, and enriched by Synergetic play therapy, a research-informed model of play therapy combining the therapeutic powers of play with nervous system regulation.
