Aurélie Aeberhard, Psychologist FSP / ACP, Psychological consultations and personal development. Carl Rogers humanist approach. Overcoming difficulties and regaining confidence.

Loneliness, loss of hope, sadness, anxiety. Feelings of failure, misunderstandings, relational difficulties. Discomfort with your identity and the way others see you. Phobias, anxiety. Dependency problems, difficulties with reality, behavioral problems. You may have experienced one or more traumas. These difficulties can have repercussions on your family, your relationship and your relationships with those around you.

It's sometimes difficult to cope with day-to-day life following a life change (bereavement, separation, new commitment, etc.), an illness or a malaise that prevents us from functioning as we would like.

Each person is unique. Within a framework of respect and confidentiality, I offer to support you in welcoming your experiences and emotions, and in highlighting your needs in order to find concrete solutions for you.

I propose to work with you in a process of self-awareness and self-esteem, to help you gain greater autonomy in managing your own life.

The counseling I offer is based on a humanistic approach called the Person-Centered Approach (PCA), founded by Carl Rogers in 1942.

Carl Rogers (1902-1987), an American psychologist, was one of the most influential figures in the field of helping relationships and psychotherapy. He was interested in human relations in groups, education, politics and intercultural conflicts. Before his death, he was nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize.

The central hypothesis of this approach is:

"The individual possesses within himself considerable resources for understanding himself, perceiving himself differently, changing his fundamental attitudes and his behavior towards himself. But only a well-defined climate, made up of facilitating psychological attitudes, can enable him to access these resources." (Carl Rogers, 1962).

The Person-Centered Approach is based on the belief that human beings can evolve in a positive direction (self-actualization) thanks to their inner resources. In this approach, the psychologist facilitates the person's development through an attitude that is authentic, empathic and imbued with positive, unconditional consideration.

Current scientific research (already highlighted by Carl Rogers) shows that it is impossible to predict precisely which therapeutic method is best suited to which group of patients. One approach is not necessarily better than another. The main success factor seems to lie in the quality of the therapeutic relationship (the interaction between therapist and patient). A therapeutic approach requires time and regularity, but above all it must be right for you. For this reason, don't hesitate to choose a professional with whom you feel comfortable talking about yourself and working on yourself.

My career path

In 2008, I graduated from the University of Fribourg with a Master's degree in clinical and health psychology. In recent years, my experience as a psychologist has focused on young people and adults.

As part of an internship in clinical research (SUPEA/CHUV), I supported psychotic adolescents or those at risk of psychosis, in their intellectual performance through cognitive remediation (to train their motivation, attention, coordination, speed, memorization, etc.).

For just over two years, I carried out diagnostic interviews for a major study into the possible links between the psychic and physical health of the Lausanne population (CEPP/CHUV).

For my practice in psychological support, I am pursuing postgraduate training in psychotherapy in a humanistic approach founded by Carl Rogers in the 1940s called the "Person-Centered Approach" (PCA).

At the same time, I work as an educator in a home for adults with mental health problems.

My area of specialization focuses on self-esteem and self-confidence. My aim is to help people gain a better understanding of themselves, so that they can find the best answers to their problems.
