Upcoming Workshop - October 2007
On Friday October 19th at 8.00 p.m., I am giving an introductory workshop in English to psychogenealogy called the "Transgenerational Effect" at my office in Nantes. If you want to come along, please sign up through the Knowing Nantes website as places are limited.
Presentation
I am a bi-lingual psychotherapist living and working in Nantes, France. Born in Ireland in 1961, I have
lived in France for nearly twenty years now. I am married to a French
woman who is also a psychotherapist, and we have two children.
I work with adults, adolescents and children doing individual one-to-one session work. I also work with couples and conduct closed therapy groups for adults who need group support.
Approach
The therapeutic support I provide is global in nature. That means that while I work with people verbally and emotionally in relation to their difficulty, I also help people connect to the sensorial experience in their bodies. Why? Because when a person experiences a shock, access to this layer of information becomes diminished or frozen. The quality of this inner sensorial connection becomes a key which allows the person's psychological and emotional understanding to transform into meaningful life change.
Training
I began my psychotherapist training in 1994 and have trained in several therapeutic modalities - Biodynamics, Biosynthesis, System Therapy (Psychogenealogy), Neuro-Linguistic Programming - all of which encompass, in different ways, the importance of the sensorial experience to psychotherapy work.
I am currently training in a new form of work called biological decoding which takes into account the biological processes underlying disease with a view to helping people who are suffering from physical illness.
