Therapists in Carouge

I am Renate, a trilingual (French, English, Dutch) FSP Psychologist, Life Coach and EMDR Therapist. If you have problems at work (i.e. burn-out, issues with colleagues), problems in your personal life (i.e. lack of confidence, feeling stuck), if you are a teenager & are dealing with "teenage issues" (i.e. pressure at school or with peers), if you think about switching jobs, if you have marital/relational problems (i.e. communication issues) or deeper psychological issues (i.e. trauma), I may be able to help you.

I offer psychological counseling and intervention to adolescents and adults in English and Portuguese. A space for personal growth aimed at promoting well-being and enhancing coping strategies for situations such as anxiety, depressive mood, interpersonal issues, low self-esteem, adapting to changes, among others.

In my Therapy, counselling, & coaching practice I encourage and enable people to discover their inner strengths to face and overcome problems and difficulties, and engage in a fulfilling self-development journey… “My aim is to enable, inspire, encourage, and help people be great at who they are and what they do... and I will accompany you during your journey toward a free, responsible, and meaningful life”.

You're looking for a uniquely safe, ethical, and confidential space, dedicated to supporting you in your emotional life and relationships? You're welcome, wherever you are, individually or as a couple. Life has its ups and downs, and right now you're feeling troubled. You may have been hurting for some time and holding it in; perhaps something new has happened to disturb or upset you emotionally. You need to talk confidentially, to someone you can trust; someone who'll listen, be beside you, and support you in finding a way through; someone who's highly dual-qualified and experienced in holding and helping what troubles you.

Are you feeling stressed and overwhelmed?  Are you carrying a lot of emotions that are difficult to hold alone?  Are you feeling stuck while something inside of you is pushing away the very thing you long for? I can help you build a deeper connection with yourself, heal old wounds, and bring about lasting changes that will open up more options and possibilities.

We experience difficulties in different ways. Often people seek therapy when they have been feeling feeling more anxious, stressed or frustrated more than usual, sometimes indicating a life transition such as relationship problems or difficulties at work. At other times clients get in touch when they noticed that something does not feel good but are still unsure of the reasons that may lie beneath and are keen to develop insight. We will build a shared understanding of current difficulties, and together will identify your hopes, goals and needsI draw from psychological evidence-based approaches to inform your unique treatment plan.

If you are struggling with your emotions, with your life in general, with your job, your family or with some health problem I can help you! Using an integrative approach, combining the Internal Family Systems, the Polyvagal theory and doing some somatique work, we are able to unlock, unburden and regulate your emotions, your nervous system and your body.

In a therapeutic relationship in which we are ourselves without a social mask and fully present, our brains, the most amazing organs in the universe, are continually shaped. You don't need to succumb to anxiety, stress, and other negative emotions. False fears and wrong beliefs affect all of us, you are not alone. Thoughts are not facts. Once you have become proficient at identifying your automatic thoughts and emotions, you could live the life you love and love the life you live. When thinking about the most meaningful life for yourself, you could also consider your strengths and how to make use of your own great potential.
