Whether you are struggling with anxiety, overwhelm or persistent negative thoughts, you have come to the right place. A certified therapist with experience in counselling for depression and anxiety, I offer a compassionate, judgement-free space to help you develop awareness and tools to manage painful emotions and states of fear or panic.
Hi, I’m Eléonore
It often takes a few sessions with a therapist specialising in anxiety to feel relief just from having been able to speak and get things off your chest. For lasting change to happen, self-awareness must be developed, and this can take more or less time from person to person. By getting in touch with this growing awareness of your habits and evoking your will to make new choices, you can start to change your life.
Talking, feeling seen, better understanding oneself and thought patterns, challenging negative beliefs and assumptions, identifying fears, triggers and stressors, taking action to change self-perception, developing empathy for self : all of these elements work together to help you gain control over anxiety rather than letting it control you.
You will learn breathing and grounding techniques to calm your nervous system in moments of overwhelm, visualisation exercises to cultivate inner peace, journaling practices to process emotions and track patterns, and reframing skills to challenge anxious thoughts. These practices become part of your daily toolkit, allowing you to manage anxiety more effectively between sessions and build lasting resilience.
You are constantly second-guessing yourself, experience racing thoughts or feel out of control.
You feel disconnected from your body, the present moment and lack a sense of stability or safety.
Your inner critic is constantly judging, criticising and undermining your self-worth and confidence.
You feel deep helplessness, lack of energy or experience dark thoughts without hope.
You feel empty, purposeless and you’re struggling to find direction or meaning to life.
You are postponing happiness, playing it safe, and holding back from what you truly want.
You are hiding your true feelings, pretending everything is fine, and feeling disconnected from your true self.
You feel inadequate, not good enough, and struggle to accept and love yourself.
If you’re struggling with depression and anxiety, finding the right therapist matters. Counselling is both an opportunity to explore and alleviate your difficulties but also to connect with your true potential. Below are some of the hallmarks of my therapeutic approach:
I regard my clients with empathy, non-judgement and deep respect.
Tuning into the wisdom of your body sensations, dreams and imagination.
I believe everyone has the ability to grow and change.
Reaching a quiet place within to hear the voice that knows.
Guided visualisations, drawing or role play help us gain insights.
Honouring you as both a human and a spiritual being.

Starting counselling for depression and anxiety with a therapist might feel overwhelming. If you’re wondering what to expect once we start seeing each other, these are the 4 stages we will generally go through together:
We start with an assessment session, after which we decide whether we wish to continue working together.
We continue with 4-5 sessions, building trust and safety between us. If needed, we adjust depth, pace and focus.
As weekly sessions evolve, we are generally becoming more skilled at noticing and understanding your belief and behaviour patterns.Potential for change emerges.
We complete with 2-3 closing sessions, grounding learnings and ensuring emotional stability.
Before beginning therapy, it’s natural to have questions about how the process works. Read my FAQs or reach out for a free 15-minute call.
I am not reimbursed by LaMal, but if you have a prescription and complementary insurance, they may cover sessions with me. Most international and UN insurances do also cover sessions with me. Please contact your insurance provider to find out exactly what is included in your policy and mention that I am a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, Registered Member 395057.
Each session is 50 minutes long. We meet once a week, always at the same time on the same day. This regularity and consistency creates safety, trust and allows for deepening of our work together.
Working on a specific, limited issue – otherwise known as brief therapy – typically takes around 12 weeks. Longer-term therapy can last anywhere between several months to several years. Each journey is different, and we will take stock and adapt together depending on your specific needs.
I do not work with individuals under 18 years of age.
No, I am not a doctor/psychiatrist and therefore cannot assess personality disorders, pathologies, ADHD, autism or any other medical condition, nor can I prescribe medication. I am a counsellor and I can support you through short-term or longer term talk therapy, which can run in parallel to seeing a psychiatrist. I have a large network of English-speaking mental health professionals in Geneva, so if we agree that you would benefit from additional support, I will gladly refer you to other specialists.
J’ai bien reçu votre demande et vous remercie pour l’intérêt que vous portez à mes services. Je vais en prendre connaissance et reviendrai vers vous dans les plus brefs délais avec une réponse. Je me réjouis d’échanger prochainement avec vous.
