I work as a psychologist specialized in criminology and victimology.

 

On the one hand, it implies supporting people that committed and/or survived delinquent and/or criminal acts. And on the other hand, it deals with issues such as injustice and inequality and the position of marginalized groups within society. I have my expertise in both individual and collective support. I also organize workshops and participate in talks. 

​

It is my vision that moving away from the classic patterns of psychology by developing alternative care is a way to cope with the rigidity of the patriarchal and capitalist system of mental health.

​

My practice of psychology  is integrative and is based on the following approaches :

• Affirmative: providing non-judgmental and client-centered care. Acknowledging that you are the expert in your experiences and keeping the space as horizontal as possible. 

• Intersectional: recognising that our identities influence the kind of oppressions/stigmas/prejudices/risks we may face. And including power dynamic imbalances in my analysis.

• Contextualised: recognising that mental health is an individual AND a socio-political issue. Depathologising psychological suffering by understanding it as a response to a problematic environment.

• Psychodynamic: focusing on the emotional roots of psychological suffering. Exploring and identifying patterns in our emotions, thoughts and beliefs to better understand ourselves.

In practice, I primarily use talk therapy with a focus on the body.
