CONSULTATIONS

Behind The Brain of Presence is also a clinical practice, where the quality of presence is at the center of psychological transformation.

A practice born from several years of research in neuroscience, now extended into the field of psychotherapy, trauma and mental health.

The human brain never fully regulates itself. Emotional security, calmness, and confidence—or conversely, anxiety and hypervigilance—are deeply rooted in relationships with others. Therapy then becomes a special space: a space where the nervous system can gradually regain greater stability, inner security, and emotional flexibility.

The first consultation

The first session is primarily a time for getting to know each other.

I invite you to talk about what you are currently going through, but also, if you wish, about your personal history — childhood, family relationships, significant experiences, emotional or professional life.

The goal is not simply to gather information, but to begin to understand together how your story, your emotional system and your way of being in the world have been built up over time.

You are welcomed into a supportive, confidential, and non-judgmental environment. You are free to discuss topics at your own pace, according to what you feel ready to share. Following this initial meeting, we will decide together whether therapy seems appropriate for you.

How does the therapeutic work unfold?

Each therapeutic journey is unique. Some people experience improvement relatively quickly. Others require a more gradual and in-depth approach. The pace depends on your personal history, the nature of the difficulties you are facing, your current environment, and the quality of the therapeutic alliance we build together.

The work is generally structured around two complementary dimensions.

Understanding how it works — Part of the work involves better understanding what's happening within you: emotions, automatic reactions, anxiety, avoidance, and relationship patterns. Neuroscience and psychoeducation often help to make sense of experiences that previously seemed confusing or incomprehensible. Understanding often already alleviates some of the suffering.

Gradually transforming certain patterns — Over time, we will identify together certain ways of functioning built up throughout your life — defense mechanisms, coping strategies, beliefs about yourself or others. These mechanisms often served an important purpose at some point in your life. But some may now be a source of suffering or blockage. The work then consists of gradually fostering new, more secure emotional and relational experiences.

Trauma and relational wounds

Some forms of suffering are linked to clearly identifiable events: accidents, assaults, bereavement, separation. Others are rooted in more diffuse and repeated experiences: emotional insecurity, neglect, family tensions, feelings of loneliness, unpredictable environments. These are referred to as complex or relational traumas.

In both cases, lived experiences can leave a lasting imprint on the brain, body, emotions, and relationships. Therapeutic work aims progressively to alleviate the emotional burden associated with certain experiences, to better understand your own functioning, and to develop new, more stable emotional and relational frameworks.

Consultations are available for adults, couples, adolescents, and children. They take place in person in Marseille or via teleconsultation, in French and English.
