'Listen to your body, reconnect with your movement' 

​​

Do you often feel overwhelmed by emotions, stress or physical tension? Are you going through a breakup, grief, illness or professional transition? Do you sometimes experience a sense of emptiness, disconnection or difficulty finding meaning in your life and relationships?

Body-oriented psychotherapy considers that body, emotions and mind are deeply interconnected. Our body carries the imprint of our personal history, relational experiences and emotional life. Stress, trauma or chronic tension can gradually shape the way we feel, relate and move through life.

In demanding modern environments, the nervous system often remains in states of tension, vigilance or emotional overload. Sometimes we feel something deeply without yet being able to fully understand it or put it into words. The body may express what has not yet reached conscious awareness.

My approach integrates Postural Integration, Gestalt therapy and relational psychotherapy. It invites you to reconnect with your bodily sensations, emotions and inner experience within a safe, respectful and non-judgmental therapeutic space.

Principles of the approach

I consider the body as an essential part of psychological and emotional life. Therapy is not about forcing change, but about developing awareness, presence and the capacity to relate differently to yourself and others.

The therapeutic process may involve:

• attentive listening to bodily sensations and emotions

• dialogue and relational exploration

• breathing and awareness practices

• movement or experiential exercises adapted to your pace

• in some sessions, therapeutic touch work on the fascia, always within a clearly defined ethical framework and with your explicit consent

This body-oriented approach can help bring awareness to tensions, emotions or memories held in the body, while supporting greater integration between emotional, physical and relational experience.
