Séfana Laperdrix-Arbane

Course

I am Séfana Laperdrix-Arbane, clinical psychologist graduated in clinical psychopathology from the University Lumière Lyon II and in Clinical Psychology and health psychology from the University of Lorraine.

Part of my journey is part of an approach psychoanalytic and the other part in an integrative approach, allowing me to adapt and offer better support.
I am specialized in traumatic dimensions and initiated into psycho-therapeutic work (Hypnosis, EMDR…).

During a university exchange in Chile, I opened myself to a more social current of psychology, linked to collective trauma and working on intergenerational issues. Finally, a mission to Senegal allowed me to think about my clinical position and work on interculturality. Topics that I like to tackle and study.

These different courses allow an enriching multidisciplinary approach and a more global and individual practice at the same time, that is to say adapted to each person.

Practical :

I worked with young adults in psychiatry, with adults with disabilities, then carried out therapies for children in a specialized home. Finally, I practiced in tele-consultation. These experiences allowed me to observe different themes (harassment, depression, professional difficulties, etc.).

I work on understanding and regulating emotions using a range of tools (relaxation, anchoring, etc.). But, also on self-confidence and relationships with others. I support the person in this work to enable them to use their resources to face possible difficulties and live better on a daily basis. I often use writing and other exercises in my practice and I give importance to:

– food & the environment – psychoeducation
– listening & support
– my abilities and my limits

What interests me is the space for exchange, trust and freedom that we can create together. I try to offer a respectful framework, based on fairness and free of judgment. I am also curious about what others can bring me and what they have to teach me. I will be delighted to support you in this personal and introspective process that brings you here.
