Option 1Who am I?During my adolescence, I struggled to find my place. What role should I play in all this? How can I overcome life’s challenges while remaining outwardly calm? Which path should I take to “succeed,” and above all, according to what criteria?During this long journey, I turned to therapy. First as a patient, then as a student at the ImaGo Centre, and now as a therapist.I was then able to observe, participate in, and practise therapy in all its forms.If, like me, you 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 heart. With kindness, respect, and serenity.Option 2Who 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 an outward appearance of calm and stability? Which path should I take to “succeed,” and, above all, according to what criteria?These questions accompanied 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 allowed 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 different therapeutic approaches. These experiences have profoundly shaped the way I view support: with listening, kindness, respect, and without judgement.I believe that, at certain moments 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, find your rightful place again, or simply 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)
