Aurora Isabelle (Bulle)

A psychologist with degrees from the Universities of Geneva and Lyon, certified in the Solution-Centered Approach by the Geneva University of Applied Sciences, I can also draw on my experience as a social educator (16 years with the Fondation officielle de la Jeunesse in Geneva). I work independently in Bulle, where I opened a private consultation in 2011.

With little attachment to theories and diagnoses, I see my clients as courageous and resourceful individuals.

I welcome you with several convictions:

• You are in the best position to know what's going wrong in your life and what you want to see happen differently.
• You hold the keys to finding solutions and making changes in your life.
• You don't necessarily need to know the cause of a problem to solve it; I'll do my best to help you forge your own solutions and encourage you to experiment with them on a daily basis.

Professional associations: I am a member of the Swiss Federation of Psychologists and the Association Fribourgeoise des Psychologues.

I OFFER A SOLUTION-FOCUSED APPROACH

A problem is often like a pebble in your shoe: the sooner you remove it, the better. That's where my consultations come in. My approach is based on the principles of brief therapy, and in particular on the Solution-Centered Approach (SCA), which has shown that very often it doesn't take much for people to get back on track: a sympathetic ear, helpful questions and encouragement.

ACS is interested in everything that helps us to change. People who feel stuck often believe that their situation cannot change. But change is the natural order of things. Rather than exploring the problem, what causes it or how to interpret it, GBA focuses on what we want.

GBA postulates that people hold all the keys and resources they need to overcome their difficulties. It's a respectful, fundamentally collaborative and person-centred approach.

I'll help you imagine a better future and encourage you to use your resources to get on the road to change.

GBA can thus be defined as "the client-centered, results-driven practice of therapy".

(from Duncan L. Barry, Miller D. Scott, Le client, héros de la thérapie, Collection Le Germe, Editions SATAS, Bruxelles, 2003).

The coaching process in a few key points

You talk about your problem situation, and I help you define what you want to change in your life.

You imagine what your life would be like without the problem, and I help you identify the moments that come closest, so that you can "do more of what works".

You experiment with different ways of doing things on a daily basis, and I help you observe what helps you move in that direction.

Create the life you want!
