Françoise Raoult

Sometimes everything overflows: emotions jostle, confidence wavers, anxiety takes over; work and life are exhausting; traumas clutter the present. My practice is a simple place where you can come to lay things down, understand, and transform.

My background — midwife, with degrees in public health and health education, long engaged in demanding fields, in projects carried out where life becomes complicated (disadvantaged neighborhoods, conflict zones, disasters) — has taught me the power of stories and connection, and has shaped a practice rooted in reality, nuance, respect for each person’s pace, and cultural openness. My common thread has always been the same: to support people so their potential, their emotions, meaning, momentum, and enthusiasm can emerge.

As a psychotherapist with a humanistic (Gestalt) orientation, trained in clinical psychopathology, EMDR and narrative therapy, I support adolescents and adults facing personal difficulties: emotions on edge, strained relationships, separations, bereavements, addictions, anxiety, depression, sleep disorders, somatic symptoms, personal or professional exhaustion up to burnout.

In this work together, we start from the present, shed light on the past when needed, and look for your resources and a movement that feels like you. When appropriate, EMDR comes in to reprocess the wounds.

Within the Institute for the Prevention and Support of Burnout (IPBO), I can offer, on the basis of an assessment, comprehensive and tailored care for professional and/or personal exhaustion, as well as burnout (psychotherapy, body-centered therapies, medical referrals, coaching and legal referrals).

At the same time, as a consultant in organizational support and capacity building, I supervise teams, train health professionals and work, among other things, on well-being at work within institutions, associations and companies.

I offer consultations in French, Spanish and English.
