After working and studying in numerous areas of psychology, I now wish to dedicate myself to an integrative practice filled with kindness and rationality.
A psychologist should not only deal with the unsatisfactory areas of a person's functioning; it's also important to highlight and reinforce what is working well. My work consists of providing my patients with the tools to take charge of their own psychological balance, their couple life (if applicable), and their fulfillment within their chosen values.
I work in English, French or Mauritian Creole, and have good knowledge of German and Italian.
I use classic cognitive-behavioral approaches combined with contemporary ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy) methodologies.
My office is located at 24 Rue de Genève in Lausanne, directly next to the Métropole parking, which is 15 minutes walking distance from the train station and less than 5 minutes from the Flon Metro station. It is also accessible from the Chauderon bus stop. You will receive precise instructions before the first session, and I will come to meet you. After intake, I can accommodate video conferencing.
The rate for a full hour of individual counseling in psychology or sexology is CHF 140/hour.
The rate for couples is CHF 180/hour, extendable to 1.5-hour sessions for CHF 220.
I am not covered by LAMal (basic Swiss health insurance), but by certain supplementary insurances. If this is important, please check with your provider regarding this. Kindly note that if you do not cancel a session 24 hours in advance, you will be charged for it.
