Psychology
Psychology is the science of the mind and human behavior. It focuses on the conscious and unconscious phenomena of people, as well as their emotions and thoughts, in order to explain their reactions to situations.
With this understanding of the human being, the objective of psychological consultations is to provide help and support so that people can find solutions to their personal, professional and relational difficulties in all areas of their lives.
What happens during an appointment?
Sessions can be face-to-face or by teleconsultation. They can be individual, couple or family sessions depending on the objectives and the expertise of the therapists. Any psychotherapeutic process must begin with an assessment of the difficulties reported by the individual or by the system that is consulting (couple or family). The assessment can take from one to three sessions generally. An intervention plan is then developed, with specific objectives to be reached, according to the expectations and changes targeted by the person or system that is consulting.

Interesting facts :
Did you know that it is false to believe that to consult you must have a mental health problem? More and more people are seeking help in order to improve their performance, better manage their energy and reach their full potential.
Some myths related to psychological consultations, such as lying on a couch and talking only about the past, unfortunately discourage some people from wanting to consult. Although these approaches still exist and have proven their worth, many psychotherapists use techniques based in the here and now and make consultations more dynamic than in the past. It is therefore much more comfortable to consult than people think.
