Hello and Welcome

Anne-Laure Vieille, PG Dip Psychotherapist

I work face to face with individuals on a long term basis or, if you wish a specific focus, in a time limited frame of 12 sessions. I am bilingual and can offer sessions in English or French.

My Approach: Psychodynamic

my approach is Psychodynamic, which means the sessions focus on your unconscious and early relationship to gain insight into your current moods, behavior and decisions. This process helps to attain a more reflective on your life and a better capacity to relate to yourself and others.

What to Expect?

Therapy is a personal endeavor and the type of therapy that may help, as well as the length of treatment, varies from one person to another. Initially, expect to build a relationship with your therapist, establishing trust and comfort. Sessions typically involve talking about your thoughts, feelings, and experiences in a confidential, non-judgmental setting. It's a space where you can express yourself freely.

The first step is to have a brief initial telephone call to discuss what you are looking for and establish whether therapy is right for you at this time. We will also talk about some practical details, including availability for sessions and fees.
