Olivier Denis

I have a basic education in life sciences that I then developed through various research activities over many years.

My life journey has also led me to experience Jungian psychoanalysis, notably through an analysis that lasted 9 years.

In 2018, I began didactic analysis and joined the International Institute of Psychoanalysis Charles Baudouin to continue my analytical training and place myself at the service of those seeking to find their own path again.

Didactic analysis and ongoing supervision allow the analyst to deepen their personal work and guarantee the ethical framework of the encounter.

As an analyst, my vocation is to support anyone in suffering and to accompany any request, whether occasional or longer term, whatever it may be.

The essence of the approach I propose rests on our intimate encounter through listening and speech. This interplay forms the foundation of the analytic relationship. Within the framework of this encounter, anything can be said, anything can be heard, in a secure setting that respects each person’s freedom.

In this particular space-time, I help you turn toward yourself and speak to yourself, in order to lay down your pain, and that is already largely therapeutic.

If your desire leads you a little further, it is above all “the other within oneself” that I can help you listen to. Throughout my analytic journey, I have been able to experience that the symptom, whatever it may be, always has something to say, something to teach, if we listen to it attentively

This other who may take the face of fear, loss, relational discomfort, low spirits, irrepressible anger, sometimes physical pain… this symptom that leads to psychological suffering.

My role is to help with this understanding, in particular through attention to the dreams that will arise and punctuate our meetings. Then the voice of the “other within” can appear and, through the work in session, be understood.

This new understanding leads to a soothing of tensions, and broadens and transforms the personality.
