Accompanying teachers

Teaching is a vocation of presence.
Showing up. Welcoming. Supporting. Holding. Passing on. Day after day. Supporting the class, keeping a structure alive, adjusting to rhythms, to needs, to demands. to the unexpected, And sometimes, feeling alone in front of the vastness of what unfolds.

I know this life in the classroom intimately: the joys that nourish, the disheartening moments that drain you, the fatigue that builds up, the doubts, the pressure, the tensions, the emotions that overflow—or stay silent.
I know how demanding it is to teach while staying connected to oneself. How difficult it can be, at times, to keep giving without losing oneself.

And then there is everything that weaves beyond the classroom: institutional pressures, a constantly shifting context, expectations from the hierarchy—spoken and unspoken—relationships with families, sometimes supportive, sometimes challenging, the gazes that evaluate, the words that uplift and those that wound, and at times, that sense of having to hold together what feels irreconcilable.

This is why I offer therapeutic support specifically for teachers and education professionals.
A space to set down burdens, catch one’s breath, explore what weighs on you, what raises questions, what wounds, or what calls to be reimagined.
A space to reconnect with yourself, with your resources, with your vitality. To find solid ground again, to honor your limits, to return to what truly gives meaning.

I welcome you in a confidential and compassionate setting, in Gestalt therapy. An approach that focuses on lived experience, on connection, on presence. A therapy of movement and adjustment, that invites you to inhabit what is here and now, and to discover new ways of living and relating.

These sessions are for any teacher or education professional who feels the need:
– for a space of listening and support
– to soothe stress and emotional fatigue
– to regain clarity and perspective
–to explore what repeats itself in the relationship with students, families, colleagues, hierarchy, the institution
– to navigate a time of crisis, doubt, or loss of meaning.

I offer sessions in my office in Décines-Charpieu near Lyon or online, according to your needs and availability.

Taking care of yourself in order to keep caring for others. Perhaps one of the most beautiful acts of fidelity—to your vocation, and to yourself.
