Reason for consulting

ADHD: putting the body back into the equation.

I work with people affected by other forms of neurodivergence, such as ADHD. When attention scatters, when the body gets restless or switches off, psychomotor therapy offers concrete supports.

What are we talking about?

ADHD (attention deficit disorder, with or without hyperactivity) concerns the way attention is sustained, and the way agitation and impulsivity are regulated.

It is not a lack of attention, but an attention that is hard to direct and to hold. The body is fully involved: moving, standing up, swaying, or on the contrary freezing, are often ways of holding on.

Fatigue, the feeling of not managing, and difficulties in relationships or at work often come on top of that.

When to consult?

ADHD is a form of neurodivergence: it is not a lack of will. You can consult to find support, without trying to “correct” yourself.

  • attention that drifts away, tasks started and never finished
  • bodily restlessness, difficulty staying still without moving
  • impulsivity, words or gestures that overflow
  • constant fatigue, exhaustion from having to “hold things together”
  • difficulties organising, planning, managing time
  • a complicated relationship with one's body and sensations
  • periods of disruption (studies, work) that bring difficulties back up

What psychomotor therapy offers

The session invites you to experiment rather than force things: moving, finding support, settling, feeling, and little by little noticing what helps.

The work is on tonic-emotional regulation, identifying sensations, the relationship to time and space, motor skills, as well as on executive functions: organising, planning, starting and finishing. So many supports that can carry over into daily life.

The bodily mediations (movement, breathing, touch, materials) are chosen with you, according to what speaks to you.

Frequently asked questions

You may be wondering…

Do I need an ADHD diagnosis to come?
No, it is not essential to begin. Many people first come because of a feeling of unease, without a diagnosis.
Does psychomotor therapy replace medical follow-up?
No. It comes in addition to medical or psychological follow-up, never instead of them.
Do you see adults with ADHD?
I mostly see teenagers and adults. For children, it depends on the situation: do not hesitate to write to me.
