 Approach
When people seek out psychotherapy, it is because they are stuck in
some kind of pain. Emotional, psychological, relational or
existential pain.
In a secure, confidential space I provide people with a
non-judgemental relationship where change can be fostered in the
direction people wish for themselves which leads to a more
meaningful life.
Therefore, in the work together the emphasis is placed on exploring
how you do the things you do rather than on why you are do them to
promote the desired change. Part of this "how of things" is what we
feel when we do things. So I keep the focus on sensorial experience
because as recent neuroscience research shows this is a key to
transforming being stuck in emotional or psychological pain into
meaningful life change.
I also work in a
solution-orientated way. That means I help people identify what
works in their lives and where they are trying to get to. Immediate
pressing problems tend to take the centre stage and push all these
resources to one side.
Once this ground is recovered we can move forward to sort out
difficulties with much greater ease. As a result the number of
therapy sessions required can be reduced quite significantly.
Services
I offer people short-term or long-term psychotherapy services at my
office in Nantes.
I work face to face with adults, adolescents and children in
individual one-to-one sessions. I also work with couples, parents,
and families and run a closed therapy group for adults.
I provide online therapy support when requested through a secure
platform.
From time to time, I run workshops in the enneagramme, a system of
nine personality types to improve self-understanding and increase
awareness of the motivation hidden behind much of our behaviour.
Training Background
Originally from Ireland, I have lived in France for over 22 years
and work with equal ease in English or French. That means I am both
bi-lingual and bi-cultural and keenly aware of the difficulties and
challenges of living in France as a native English speaker.
I began my psychotherapist training in 1994 and have been committed
to improving the services I provide ever since. That's why I have
trained in several different modalities – Biodynamics, Biosynthesis,
Systemic Therapy, Neurolinguistic Programming, Solution-orientated
Therapy, Eriksonian Hypnosis, Trauma Therapy, Narrative therapy –
all of which encompass, in different ways, the importance of
sensorial experience to successful psychotherapy work.
Location
My office is located at 38 rue Casimir Périer, 44000 Nantes. This is
close to the “rond point de Rennes” and is about a 15/20 minute walk
north from the city centre.
