I am trained and qualified as an integrative counsellor with Emèt Analyse, a French counselling and psychotherapy institute (www.emetanalyse.com) based in Uzès. I abide by this institute’s code of ethics, which in turn abides by the principals of SNPPsy (Syndicat National des Praticiens en Psychothérapie) and of l’AFFOP (Association Fédérative Français des Organismes de Psychothérapie).

My training, which included a later course on psychopathology, plus my own personal reading, has given me a grounding in the analytical, object relations, development and attachment theories of Freud, Lacan, Klein, Bion, Winnicot, Bowlby.
PRACTICE:
I draw to some extent on Roger’s Person Centred approach, but more frequently on a Psychodynamic one, focusing on the therapeutic relationship that may emerge during counselling. However, the presenting needs and personal inner ‘structure’ of a client will mean a flexibility in my work, leading at times to a more ‘directive’ approach, such as is offered by Cognitive Behaviour Therapy; along with a respect of the individual’s family/social/relational network, such as the Systems Theory allows room for.

I worked with the French population in the Haute Loire for 5 years with ASAPT, l’Association de l’aide Psychologique et Thérapeutique. ASAPT’s counsellors are supervised by Emèt Analyse, and we abide by the ethic of confidentiality, except in situations where a client’s life may be in danger. Having recently moved to Rouen, I am now a counsellor (still with ASAPT) for both French and English speakers.

FEES:
I offer an initial free telephone consultation, during which time a potential client may ask for information on my practice etc. ASAPT asks for a one off membership fee of 15 euros (a symbolic sum to help with administrative costs); the fee is 30 euros for an individual consultation, and 35 for couples. A session lasts for 45/50 minutes.

PREVIOUS TRAINING & EXPERIENCE:
Prior to moving to France (20 years ago) I worked for 6 years in Reading as a rehabilitation worker with the visually handicapped. I have since lived with my husband and children in Paris, Lyon and Valence where I respectively trained and worked as a breast feeding counsellor; the last 8 years were spent in the Haute Loire teaching English in Primary schools.

WHERE TO FIND ME:
I now live and work 5 minutes from the centre of Rouen rive droite - easy metro and bus access and good parking facilities!
