About me

V. Geffroy Portrait

My Therapeutic Approach:

I am an integrative counsellor and psychotherapist. This means that I am trained to use different therapeutic models. This integrative approach enables me to adapt to your individual needs.

These approaches (Existential, Psychodynamic (including Attachment Theory), Humanistic and Sensorimotor) are informed by the latest developments in mental health research to treat emotional dysregulation and more specifically traumatic experiences. Click here for more details.

I work relationally, which means that, through the therapeutic relationship, you are encouraged to explore and understand how early experiences and past relationships impact on your present difficulties. Sometimes talking is not enough and, in addition to traditional talking therapies, I use a more mindful approach focusing on the body and somatic sensations to access and process emotional pain and past traumatic experiences trapped in the body. Of special interest to me is how unresolved and traumatic experiences can be healed and transformed by a greater integration of the mind and body.

My Practice:

I work in private practice in-person and online. I am located in Paris and have an online practice based in London and Worldwide. I see individuals on short- and long-term contracts. I have previously worked for the NHS and charities.

I work with adults experiencing low moods, anxiety, stress, bereavement, relationship difficulties, abuse, low self-esteem, work-related issues and diagnosed mental health conditions such as Post-Traumatic Stress Disorders (PTSD), Dissociation, General Anxiety Disorders and Depression.

I practice in English and French.

My Professional Affiliations:

I am an accredited member of the British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapist (MBACP) and I abide by their Code of Ethics.

I am also a member of the European Society for Trauma and Dissociation.
