Emotional therapy — Leiden

In-person individual sessions in Leiden

An in-person accompaniment for delicate passages

Coming in person is to give yourself the possibility of a meeting in flesh and blood. The body in space, the shared physical presence — a space of safety that the screen cannot quite reproduce.

Alexandra is fluent in English: sessions can take place in French or in English.

The space of embodied presence

In-person individual sessions offer something that remote work cannot quite replace: the living, real meeting. The presence in space, the warmth of a listening carried by a present body — it is a support that the screen cannot fully reproduce.

I offer an inter-somatic individual accompaniment — respecting the other's pace, in connection with the body, the emotions and the deeper layers of experience. The quality of the approach is identical to that of online sessions — the in-person setting simply adds the dimension of shared physical contact.

To learn more about the overall approach, the methods used and what you can experience in a session, visit the individual sessions page.

Who is this accompaniment for ?

Beyond people seeking a space of deep emotional care, this accompaniment suits those who are moving through a period of crisis or transition, and who feel the need for a physical presence to support them.

It is also suited to people carrying relational or ancestral trauma, or who feel in their body a tension, a heaviness or an exhaustion that words alone are not enough to untie.

You don't need to be in crisis to come. Wanting to move forward, to understand yourself better, or simply to be seen with accuracy — that is already reason enough.

The setting

Sessions take place in a practice room in Leiden, on Fridays. Practical information is shared after the booking is confirmed, in order to preserve the confidentiality of the place.

Leiden is an extraordinary city, with nature ever-present and luminous. It welcomed me, and it is in this city that the accompaniment finds a particularly alive grounding — to the rhythm of the water, the bridges and the seasons.

If you are looking for support from a psychologist, I invite you to consult Heili Lehtmets, psychologist in Leiden, with whom I work in complementarity.
