Practical Charter
Summary and guidelines: the psychoanalysis session as a free-speech space.
Support and follow-up Dynamics
Consultations take place in the confidential setting of the practice in Montpellier (Cité Créative) or in the form of online follow-up, depending on the needs and circumstances.
Individual consultations for adults and adolescents: interviews and analytical follow-up during 50-minute sessions.
In order to allow everyone to express themselves in the language of their emotions and intimacy, the sessions can be conducted in French, Spanish or English.
A Time to Listen
To put an end to the distractions that divert us from our most important commitment: working on ourselves. Far from the hustle and bustle of city life, this intimate space offers the tranquillity needed to slow down. It is a place that encourages your thoughts to flow freely, where conversation becomes a key tool for moving towards self-assertion.
IIn this sheltered setting, each session is designed as a break from everyday life. It is an opportunity to give yourself a breather, a moment of meaningful dialogue to freely address whatever comes to mind – whether it be concerns or anxieties – in order to resolve inner tensions and restore meaning to your journey.
The Uniqueness of Psychoanalysis: Beyond the Symptom
Unlike psychiatry, which tends to make a diagnosis and treat the disorder with medication, or certain branches of psychology focused on rapid behavioural rehabilitation, psychoanalysis in private practice offers an alternative approach to mental health. Whereas medicine often seeks to suppress symptoms, psychoanalysis listens to them in order to understand their source. Its aim is not to normalise the individual, but to help them uncover their own truth.
Embracing the fundamental sufferings of existence – the underlying currents of depression, chronic anxiety, painful and seemingly endless bereavements, past traumas, or the sense that patterns are repeating themselves in love and/or at work – in order to rekindle one’s desire: this is the very essence of analysis. In Montpellier, this work is aimed at anyone who refuses to reduce their unease to a clinical box, preferring instead to bring their inner conflicts to the surface through the power of speech and the unconscious.
