Bonjour, vous cherchez peut-être quelqu'un à qui parler en toute confidentialité de vos préoccupations, mais ne savez pas exactement ce qui ne va pas.

Vous pouvez vous confier sans avoir honte et sans la crainte de voir vos difficultés minimisées ou ridiculisées. Vous n'êtes pas obligé(e) de faire face tout(e) seul(e).

Psychologue clinicienne, psychothérapeute et psychanalyste française installée à Londres et Oxford, je reçois dans mon cabinet des adultes, des enfants et des adolescents pour un soutien psychologique ou une psychothérapie en français.

Je m'appelle Julie et je suis Gestalt therapeute certifiée (MBACP). ​ La Gestalt est une approche humaniste basée sur le contact l'échange et le dialogue qui appréhende l'individu dans sa globalité psychique, émotionnelle et corporelle. Elle s'intéresse au processus de changement qui permet de repérer les blocages et les conduites répétitives pour sortir des états souffrants. Elle vise à remettre du mouvement, de la fluidité dans son "être au monde" pour appréhender autrement sa vie et les choses.

Parfois on traverse des périodes de changements et difficultés affectives et relationnelles qui nous causent du stress et chagrin. Il arrive aussi d'éprouver un malaise qu'on ne comprend pas et qui se manifeste sous forme d'anxiété ou baisse d'humeur. ​ On peut decider d'entamer ce parcours afin de pouvoir améliorer nostre vie, notre confiance en nous memes, et les relations avec les autres. Mon but est de vous accompagner et de vous soutenir, quelle que soit l’étape dans laquelle vous vous trouvez.

I am Professor Michael Atar, a psychoanalytic parent-infant psychotherapist. I work with families, parents, carers, and their children, drawing on my expertise from various life experiences such as my medical background, working as a paediatric dentist for over 25 years, and being a father of a large family with children of various ages. Whilst I do adopt a psychoanalytic observational stance, I don’t approach therapy from the position of “expert”. My belief in therapy focuses on awareness, understanding, and gentle support. As the word therapy suggests facilitating and serving, my work emphasises a collaborative experience.

If you are not sure, I would encourage you to give therapy a chance. We live in such a busy world, it can be difficult to hear ourselves think. Therapy gives you space. A safe one.

As a psychotherapist, I emphasise this ‘safe container’ a secure, non-judgmental environment as the important first step. From there, I am hard working and honest and will do my best to support you with whatever's going on for you right now, supporting you to find your voice, to tell your story.
