Anne-Laure Vieille

Hello and welcome,

I am a fully qualified and experienced psychodynamic psychotherapist, registered with BACP and FPC.

I work face to face with individuals on a long term basis or, if you wish a specific focus, in a time limited frame of 12 sessions. I am bilingual and can offer sessions in English or French.

My approach is psychodynamic, which means the sessions focus on your unconscious and early relationships to gain insight into your current moods, behaviour and decisions. This process helps to attain a more reflective and objective perspective on your life and a better capacity to relate to yourself and others.

But regardless of the approach, I understand that, essentially, offering a safe, reliable and confidential space is important to build a trusting therapeutic relationship.

Overall, I have experience working in an open ended and time limited (12 sessions) frame with a wide range of people and diverse problems including:

anxiety

depression

low mood

low self-esteem

relationship problems

life and work stress

bereavement and loss

issues relating to sexuality and identity

trauma.

I qualified with a Postgraduate Diploma in Psychodynamic Psychotherapy from WPF Therapy, a well-respected psychotherapy training institution founded in 1969. This qualification is validated by the University of Roehampton and accredited by the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy).

I am a member of BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy) and FPC (Foundation for Psychotherapy and Counselling) and abide by their codes of ethics, professional conduct and practice. I have full professional indemnity.

Making the first contact may feel like the hardest part of the process. I understand that one can feel nervous about stepping into the unknown. I am happy to speak to you on the phone or via email to start with and take it from there.

The initial consultation is an opportunity to explore your individual needs and answer any questions you may have. There is no obligation to continue after this session. All content of the session is strictly confidential.
