Dr Cécile Valantin
Clinical psychologist

Approach

I work in a collaborative way and provide a non-judgmental, safe and caring environment to support you through a wide range of questions or issues:

​

• Life transitions on personal or professional levels such as marriage, parenthood, relocation, expatriation, promotion at work, empty nest, retirement, etc.

• Life crisis due to work stress, personal difficulties, or family problems.

• Women’s mental health, including personal development, professional challenges, perinatal worries or difficulties, and menopause challenges.

• Complex trauma and difficulties pertaining to childhood traumas.

• Grief.

​

My clinical approach has a solid grounding in psychodynamic and person-centred theories. It also integrates interventions from a variety of evidence-based psychotherapies such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Existentiel psychotherapy, Eye Movement Desensitisation Reprocessing (EMDR) and mindfulness, as well as the rapidly growing knowledge from neuropsychology research.

​

Overall, psychotherapy helps getting a better and deeper understanding of oneself and, as such, it helps dealing with life difficulties beyond the reduction and/or alleviation of initial presenting symptoms. Along the way, we also identify together tools and strategies to manage daily life and challenges and we regularly review our work together.
