Welcome to Psy-World
A space for supportive mental health
Online EMDR therapy in Marseille
ABOUT
As a psychologist specializing in neuropsychology, I support children, adolescents and adults, individually or as couples, when they are going through emotional, relational, traumatic or cognitive difficulties.
My practice is based on an integrative approach, which is scientific, humanistic, and deeply attentive to the uniqueness of each individual. I practice with respect for the dignity, freedom, and psychological integrity of each person, in accordance with the Code of Ethics for Psychologists.
Because human beings develop through relationships, the quality of the therapeutic relationship is central to clinical work. It provides a space of trust, listening, and security, in which it becomes possible to better understand one's suffering, rediscover one's resources, and move towards a deeper and more lasting sense of well-being.
In Marseille, I offer support based on attentive listening, committed presence and a demand for accuracy, in order to offer everyone a working environment that is rigorous, caring and non-judgmental.
My scientific and clinical background
As a neuroscientist, I have dedicated over forty years to research on the brain, its networks, and its plasticity. My career has led me to explore how experience, attention, learning, and relational context permanently alter our brain function.
Driven by the desire to put this expertise at the service of care, I then trained in clinical psychology at the University of Aix-Marseille.
Today, I combine insights from neuroscience and therapeutic practice in an integrative, person-centered clinical approach tailored to each individual situation. Depending on the needs, I utilize recognized methods such as cognitive behavioral therapy, EMDR, ACT, schema therapy, and cognitive behavioral rehabilitation when appropriate.
My work aims to help each person better understand how they function, to ease their difficulties, to break free from certain painful repetitions, and to find more stability, inner freedom and momentum in their life.
A clinical practice attentive to the uniqueness of each individual
Each support process begins with a period of listening, assessment, and understanding. This allows us to clarify the nature of the difficulties encountered, to take into account the person's history, needs, and resources, and to define a clear, personalized, and evolving framework for our work.
I see therapy as a space for encounter, understanding, and transformation. It's not just about alleviating a symptom, but also about better understanding how it works, breaking free from painful patterns, regaining a more stable regulation, and opening up new possibilities for growth.
My practice is based on an integrative approach that is scientific, clinical, and deeply human. It draws on the contributions of neuroscience, clinical psychology, and recognized therapeutic methods to offer rigorous, individualized support that respects each person's pace.
Depending on the situation, I also work in the field of neuropsychology, for the assessment and support of cognitive, attentional or academic difficulties, as well as from a cognitive-behavioral rehabilitation perspective when indicated.
Recognized and integrative therapeutic approaches
When to consult a psychologist?
My practice is based on an integrative approach, grounded in validated methods and adapted to each individual's unique needs. Therapeutic tools are chosen according to your situation, your history, and your goals.
Cognitive behavioral therapies (CBT) help to better understand the links between thoughts, emotions, behaviors, and bodily reactions. They offer concrete tools to break free from certain cycles of suffering, avoidance, or blockage.
EMDR is particularly indicated in the treatment of psychological trauma, painful memories, certain persistent fears, or emotionally unresolved experiences. This approach helps to reprocess what continues to affect the present.
ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy) helps to develop a more flexible relationship with one's thoughts and emotions, in order to move more freely towards what matters deeply to oneself.
Schema therapy allows us to explore old patterns of behavior, often rooted in personal and relational history, which still influence how we perceive ourselves, experience our emotions, and relate to others.
Cognitive-behavioral rehabilitation, when appropriate, can support certain attentional, executive, cognitive or academic difficulties in a concrete, functional and personalized perspective.
Beyond the methods, the essential thing remains the quality of the therapeutic relationship, the appropriateness of the proposed framework and the adaptation of the work to your unique situation.
Who am I?
Consulting a psychologist does not necessarily mean that you are in a very bad way. This step can be helpful when suffering sets in, when a difficulty recurs, or when you feel the need for help to better understand what you are going through.
A consultation may be indicated in cases of anxiety, stress, anguish, malaise, relationship difficulties, suffering at work, exhaustion, loss of bearings, trauma, grief, attentional or cognitive difficulties, or when certain painful situations seem to repeat themselves in personal, emotional or family life.
Consulting means offering yourself a space for speaking, understanding, and care. It means being able to release what is weighing you down, to find meaning in your experiences, to regain stronger support, and to move forward more freely and peacefully.
In a confidential, caring and non-judgmental setting, therapeutic work gradually allows one to better understand oneself, to mobilize one's resources and to regain a more stable and lasting balance.

EMDR therapy online
We give you the opportunity to consult a therapist wherever you are. It is not necessary to live in a large city, or in a country with a sufficient number of therapists.

FREE CONSULTATION
Are you unsure what's happening to you, or if a consultation can help you feel better? Book a free initial consultation online. I'll help you gain clarity and make a decision.
Finally, a therapy that goes to the heart of your unconscious, to the implicit memories formed in your childhood, or those associated with traumatic events that your brain hasn't "processed." Even better, EMDR is practiced online and can help you soothe your emotions wherever you are.
EMDR is a particularly effective therapy for treating traumatic memories using eye movements or other bilateral stimulation. EMDR helps the brain "digest" difficult memories, allowing patients to achieve lasting peace.BOOK AN APPOINTMENT .
PSYCHOLOGY
NEUROPSYCHOLOGY
Neuropsychology focuses on the relationships between the brain, on the one hand, and thoughts, emotions, and behavior, on the other. This can involve acquired brain abnormalities (brain injury, neurodegeneration, etc.) or congenital ones (neurodevelopmental disorders, ADHD , and other learning disabilities). I conduct assessments to aid in the diagnosis of learning difficulties or behavioral problems in children and adolescents, and offer support for cognitive rehabilitation.MAKE AN APPOINTMENT .

COUPLES THERAPY
"The couple is often the place where we settle accounts with our childhood, and where we project the anxieties of the past onto the other." Catherine Audibert.
If you are experiencing relationship difficulties in your partnership, therapy can help you restore quality communication, based on respect and kindness.Make an appointment .
SESSIONS PROCEDURE
First session: a space of presence and kindness
A two-part approach
During our first interview, I invite you to tell me about what you are currently going through, as well as your personal history: childhood, family relationships, schooling, adolescence, adult life…
I listen to you without judgment, in a supportive and confidential environment. If needed, I will ask you a few questions to better understand you, but you are free to discuss topics at your own pace, according to what you are ready to share.
At the end of this session, we decide together whether to continue the therapeutic work.
⚖️ And the trauma?
Two types of trauma are generally distinguished:
Simple traumas: linked to an isolated and significant event (e.g., accident, assault).
Complex traumas: resulting from an accumulation of painful situations (emotional neglect, abuse, difficult family environment, etc.).
In all cases, therapy aims to alleviate the suffering associated with these memories, to restore meaning, and to restore inner balance.
⏳ Duration and frequency of sessions
It is difficult to predict the exact number of sessions in advance. Even in the context of brief therapy, this depends on several factors:
What you experienced
The work you can do between sessions
Your regularity
The quality of the relationship we will build together
Your therapeutic goals
Some people notice a change in 10 sessions (about 3 months), while others need more time (6 months, 1 year, or even longer). The key is to progress at your own pace.
If we continue, I generally propose support structured around two complementary axes:
🧠 1. A psychoeducational dimension
This work helps you better understand your psychological and emotional functioning, in relation to your history. We explore past experiences – sometimes painful, sometimes positive – that may have left a lasting imprint, conscious or unconscious.
🧩 2. An exploration of your thought patterns
Using questionnaires and discussions, we identify the strategies and mechanisms you developed in your past (often during childhood or adolescence), which, although they may have helped you at some point, may no longer be suitable today.
This allows us to define together the work targets: what you want to transform, overcome, or repair.
🎯 My role: to help you find a sustainable balance
I firmly believe that our current difficulties are often linked to learning experiences we haven't been able to acquire, for various reasons. Together, we will activate neural plasticity in your brain in order to:
Repairing your traumatic memories
Promote new, more appropriate learning
Disconnect your dysfunctional automatic behaviors to create healthier and more adaptive patterns.
This requires time and commitment, from both you and me. I am here to guide you, support you, and encourage you throughout this journey.
