Psychotherapist Montpellier

As a Psychotherapist I am also available for English-speakers in and around Montpellier. I work with individuals of all ages, couples and families who are for example struggling with anxiety, lack of self-esteem, depression, relationship difficulties, identity and cultural adjustments.

A psychologist…

A psychologist is often called “a doctor of the soul”. This is effectively what characterises them: they are the professional that looks after the troubles, complex or not, which affect our emotions, our stability, our well-being, and the “state of our soul”. psychologist Montpellier

When a feeling of uneasiness persists, when it affects our daily routine, our relationships and our work, and we can’t manage to identify the cause of it, or to resolve it by ourselves, a psychologist is then someone we are advised to talk to to try to put things “straight”.

Numerous physical symptoms also have psychological causes: putting your back out, headaches, continuous fatigue, and stomach ache are some of the pains which can be bodily manifestations of stress, anxiety or depression.

A psychologist can help you to find the source of these troubles and work through the problems to relieve and solve them. psychologist Montpellier

A psychotherapist will enable you to shed a light on the often unknown causes of your own mechanisms and reactions, and the work of a therapist will help you to bring them into focus and find the tools within you to handle your problems better, or even eradicate them. Therapy is a joint and participative process, where success largely depends on the will of the patient.

What happens at the first meeting?

At the first interview, the therapist will ask you some general questions about yourself and will ask you the reason(s) for you taking this step. Your answers, reactions and responses will help the psychologist to decide with you what type of psychotherapy suits you best.

It could be that you require from several support sessions to a therapy over several months; you will decide on the frequency of your sessions together.

What results can you expect?

The results vary from one person to another. The aim of having therapy is so that you feel relieved from one or more of the problems which are weighing you down and which had been unmanageable for you.

Therapy allows you to put into words things which will let you draw a line under these problems, or find the causes and explanations which will make you stronger and more able to manage your emotions towards these problems.

As a natural consequence, your general state will improve, you will regain confidence in yourself, and move forward on the path of well-being.
