A new beginning for your personal growth
Every experience in your life, even the most difficult, holds the precious seed of transformation. As a certified transactional analysis counselor, I am here to accompany you on a journey of self-discovery and personal evolution.
Available online in French, Italian, or English.
With the accessible and dynamic language of transactional analysis, a psychological approach, I support you for a personalized accompaniment that addresses everyone:
- recognize the dynamics of your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors
- decode your recurring relational patterns
- transform limiting automatic behaviors
- develop more authentic relationships

This universal approach adapts to each person, regardless of their life journey.
Targeted expertise: three domains, a unique approach
Using transactional analysis as my primary approach, I offer specialised support for three key life experiences:

- professionals seeking work-life balance
- caregivers who dedicate their energy to others
You choose the destination, I walk by your side
Together, we explore what allows you not only to feel better, but above all to feel fully alive and in harmony with yourself. We will activate your vital energy, your natural drive towards safety, love, knowledge, and personal fulfillment.
My approach and journey
My philosophy
The heart of my practice is rooted in the Shi Mei philosophy, which in Japanese means “using life”, an invitation to live each moment fully and mindfully. I integrate this principle to harmoniously balance mind and body, using emotions as a bridge between these dimensions.

Transactional analysis
at the heart of my practice
Better understand yourself
and your relationships
Transactional analysis (TA), developed by the visionary psychiatrist Éric Berne in 1958, offers a unique perspective on human interactions. This approach, far more than a simple psychological method, is a true tool of personal transformation that allows you to:
- understand your inner dynamics
- identify unconscious relational patterns
- become conscious of your behaviors
- foster more authentic and balanced relationships
Concrete applications in your daily life:
- understand your communication mechanisms
- identify barriers to your personal growth
- develop emotional intelligence
- regain your power to act
The three ego states
Your dynamic inner map
Imagine three distinct energies dialoguing within you. The objective is to learn to recognize, listen to and harmonize them to live more fluid and conscious relationships with yourself, others and your environment.

Definition of counseling
Professional counseling is an activity whose goal is to improve the quality of life of clients supporting their strengths and abilities for self-determination.
Counseling provides a space for listening and reflection in which clients may explore problems related to evolutionary processes, phase transitions and states of crisis and strengthens the capacity of clients to choose or change.
Counseling is an intervention that uses various methods borrowed from different theoretical orientations. It caters to individuals, families, groups, and institutions. Counseling can be provided in various settings such as private practice, education, health, business.
(AssoCounseling definition of counseling adopted in 2011)
History of counseling
Counseling was born in the United States in the 1940s as psychological support for World War II veterans, focusing on their social reintegration and emotional management. It then developed as an autonomous discipline, aiming at enhancing personal resources and improving relationships, distinguishing itself from psychotherapy.
The fundamental contribution came from Carl Rogers with the person-centered approach which emphasizes:
- Unconditional acceptance
- Authentic empathy
- Sincerity in the helping relationship
These principles continue to guide global counseling.
In English-speaking countries, counseling became a recognised profession in the 1960s-70s with structured training programs, professional associations and integration into healthcare systems.
In Italy, counseling spread in the 1980s finding application in education, business and personal growth.
In France, it emerged in the 1990s, integrating with social sciences and being applied in mental health, education and social work.
In Transactional Analysis, counseling finds particularly effective tools through concepts such as ego states, transactions and life scripts, offering a clear method for understanding and improving relational dynamics.
