"Couples therapy" is the term people search for most, so I use it here. To be precise, what I offer is couples support through coaching. We work on your communication, on what's going on between you today, and on what you want to build. If one of you needs individual therapeutic work, I'll refer you to the right professional.
How I work with couples
In a session, each of you has time to speak and be heard. I don't take sides and I don't look for someone to blame. My role is to hold that space and help you see what keeps replaying between you.
We also do communication exercises during the session itself. And you leave with a small action plan to try at home.
The couples I see are very different. Some have only been together a short while and want to start on solid ground. Others are going through a real crisis. Others are doing fine but can feel themselves drifting apart.
Length and pace
A session lasts between 90 minutes and 2 hours, so there's time to see each conversation through. Overall, the support usually adds up to between 10 and 20 hours. How often we meet depends on how urgent things are and on when you're both available.
I see you at my practice, 102 rue Ducau in Bordeaux, or by video call.

Questions
Your questions
Is this couples therapy in the strict sense?
It's support based on coaching, focused on communication and your shared goals. If one of you needs therapeutic work, I'll refer you to a suitable professional.
My partner is hesitant about coming. What can we do?
That's very common. A first session doesn't commit you to anything and often puts worries to rest. For the work to pay off, though, you both need to be willing.
How much does a couples therapy session cost in Bordeaux?
€150 per session, which lasts between 90 minutes and 2 hours.
How long does couples therapy take?
Usually between 10 and 20 hours in total, with sessions of 90 minutes to 2 hours. The pace depends on how urgent the situation is and on when you're both available.
Can we come to you if we're thinking of separating?
Yes. The goal can be to find each other again, but also to make a decision with a clear head, or to separate with less damage. I don't push you one way or the other.
