About me

Psychomotor therapist.

I have been working since 2016, in private practice with teenagers and adults (and children on request or depending on the situation). The requests can be very varied.

Having developed a fine understanding of giftedness, I very often see HQI/THQI people. I also work with people affected by other forms of neurodivergence, such as ASD, ADHD and/or specific learning difficulties.

Do not hesitate to contact me to explain your request and I will suggest an appointment, or point you to another professional if that would be better.

Psychomotor therapy, open to the world

Alongside psychomotor therapy, my interest in other disciplines such as sociology, political science and philosophy also took me to university. It leads me to think of psychomotor therapy as open to the world.

Just as a patient is part of the society they live in, a care professional does not practise outside the society they belong to. Bodily experience also has to be read, understood and brought up to date in the light of contemporary societal themes.

Next: what matters to me

What matters to me

Themes that run through society, and through bodies.

I have taken a particular interest in:

  • migration and exile journeys (transcultural)
  • parenthood
  • the question of gender (identity and orientation)
  • sexist and sexual violence (incest, violence against women)
  • precariousness
  • sex work / prostitution
  • the experience of patients with a chronic illness

Going towards people

An outreach approach, rooted in what is real.

Working with an outreach approach, I spent 5 years with asylum seekers, in emergency accommodation for single mothers with children (most of them foreign), as well as in shantytowns.

I teach at a social work school and at a psychomotor therapy school, and I train care professionals in continuing education, on themes such as:

  • parenthood
  • child development
  • babywearing
  • transculturality
  • psychotrauma
  • giftedness (HQI/THQI)
