Philippe Boucharessas

I am a psychologist and I am, of course, accredited by the psychologists' commission

I see adults experiencing life difficulties for individual consultations in my private practice.

Taking the first step is not an easy decision and it requires courage, the courage to confront one’s inner issues.

My life path led me, after my studies, to work in various commercial companies. I was confronted with this increasingly dehumanized world where recognition disappears in favor of an accounting-type assessment. In this environment, personal ties are threatened by individualized competition and the race for extreme performance becomes the norm.

It seemed to me that my life should bring me more and I redirected it toward what has always fascinated me: that is to say, human beings and their psychic functioning. I undertook training in NLP and Transactional Analysis in order to provide professional, active, and respectful help to those who live in stress and with the feeling that their life is leading to a dead end. In those moments, the self-confidence and the ability to face challenges seem lost. Family bonds, couple bonds, which are one of the foundations of our balance, can be weakened by illness, the loss of a job, resorting to addictions, workplace harassment, or burnout.

Today with the Coronavirus, uncertainties about the future and illness of loved ones can confront us with old fears; this can be expressed in a place where you feel safe, or via teleconsultation if that suits you.

My approach is caring, based on attentive, non-judgmental and confidential listening.

I work with respect for each patient’s pace and values. Depending on your specific issue, I can work on the basis of a contract whose objectives we will define together.

I invite you to come and set down this weight, this pain, this feeling, and to consider together how you can make your life lighter, how you can give meaning back to your life, how you can take back control of your life.

I work on the following issues:

• Anxieties
• Depression
• Harassment
• Burnout
• Work-related stress
• Ruminative thoughts
• Suicidal thoughts
• Death
• Breakup
• Tensions/conflicts in the couple
• Job loss
• Tensions/conflicts at work

Assertiveness
