Support

Reasons to see a psychologist

These are some of the situations I can support you with.

  • Anxiety and panic
  • Low mood
  • Burnout and work-related stress
  • Grief and separation
  • Self-esteem
  • Relationship difficulties

  • Sexual orientation and/or gender identity
  • Life transitions

Approach

My approach

I offer psychological support informed by cognitive behavioural approaches (CBT) and by dynamic interpersonal therapy (DIT).

We start from your request, clarify together what you expect from the support, and move forward step by step. You can ask questions and stop whenever you wish.

How it works

How an online consultation works

  1. Booking

    You book online on Onedoc, or contact me by phone or email. I reply within 48 hours.

  2. First video session

    I send you the connection link before the session. You tell me what brings you here and I explain how I work. This session also lets you see whether the setting suits you.

    Find a quiet place, a stable connection and a device with a camera and microphone.

  3. Regular sessions

    Sessions last 50 minutes, most often every week or every two weeks. As a rule, I offer short-term support of 3 to 16 sessions.

  4. Reviews and ending

    We review what has changed. When you feel ready, we plan the end of the support together.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

Is everything I say confidential?

Yes. Psychologists are bound by professional secrecy. The few exceptions are set out in law, notably in cases of serious and imminent danger to you or to others.

What is an online psychological consultation like?

The session takes place by video call and lasts 50 minutes. I send you the connection link beforehand. Find a quiet place, a stable connection and a device with a camera and microphone.

Are sessions with an FSP psychologist reimbursed?

They are not reimbursed by basic health insurance. Some supplementary insurance plans cover sessions with an FSP psychologist. It is your responsibility to check with your insurer whether sessions are reimbursed and under what conditions.

Where do consultations take place?

Consultations are online only, and there is no physical office. I see people by video call who live in Lausanne, Geneva, Sion, the canton of Vaud, Valais or elsewhere in Switzerland.

How many sessions should I plan for?

As a rule, I offer short-term support of 3 to 16 sessions. Other arrangements are possible depending on your needs. We review progress together regularly.

Do you see teenagers and children?

No, I only see adults, aged 18 and over. For a child or teenager, the Psyfinder directory on psychologie.ch can help you find a specialised psychologist.

Can I have sessions in English?

Yes. I offer online psychological support and counselling in French or English, whichever suits you best.
