Welcome! Searching for a therapist can be intimidating, and it’s worth taking your time to find one that feels “just right.” Adéle utilizes a mind-body approach, Somatic Experiencing, in conjunction with traditional talk therapy to assist individuals in finding healing, enhancing their emotional regulation, and leading more fulfilling lives. She is also trained as an EMDR therapist.
Adéle supports people who have faced a range of mental health challenges, including anxiety, depression, emotional overwhelm, neglect, abuse, and trauma. She is particularly interested in the impact of complex trauma on unexplained medical symptoms, autoimmune diseases, chronic pain, fatigue, and other long-term health issues.
You are invited to book a free 20-minute session with Adéle to decide if she is a good fit. Do not hesitate to contact her to ask questions or request an appointment. She is available for in-person and online sessions. To learn more, follow the link to her counselling website.
