The biopsychosocial approach
We look at the whole picture.
When work stress keeps you up at night, poor sleep can make the next day harder. Looking at both together gives us more places to start.
- MindThoughts, emotions and patterns
- BodySleep, energy and physical health
- EnvironmentRelationships, work and daily life
How sessions work
The first call
We meet online for 20 minutes, free of charge. Bring questions about counselling or share a little about what you’re looking for.
The first session
We talk through your history and what is happening now. Together we identify a focus and what you’d like to get from the work.
Reviewing the plan
We agree when to check in on what’s helping. If something needs to change, we’ll talk it through and adjust.
Methods I draw on
I use techniques informed by cognitive behavioural and emotion-focused approaches, alongside mindfulness where appropriate. Which of these we use depends on your goals and what is happening in your life.
Where relevant, we may also discuss how sleep habits, digital routines or eating patterns fit into what you’re experiencing.
For some work on sleep or stress, we may discuss a brief relaxation exercise using virtual reality where available.
Scope of counselling
I provide psychological counselling as a clinical psychologist. Psychotherapy as defined under Luxembourg’s psychotherapist authorisation and psychiatric treatment are outside this practice. If one of those services would better meet your needs, I’ll discuss options with you.
For urgent help, see the emergency information.
Confidentiality
What you share in session is covered by professional secrecy. The privacy policy explains the limits to confidentiality. With your written consent, I can also coordinate with your GP, specialist or occupational health team.
