English speaking clinical psychologist in Valbonne village

Hello to my fellow expats here in the south of France!

I am Catherine May Rouah, clinical psychologist. I do psychotherapy in English and French as I am a native English speaker (raised in the USA) being half British and half French.

I am specialised in systemic psychology, which means that I do therapy for individuals, couples, and families.

What is systemic psychology?

We all have a role, a function, a way of positioning ourselves in the various systems that we belong to. This is given to us by our original family system and we tend to reproduce this scheme of behaviour in all the areas of our lives... With our life partner, our children, our friends, the teams that we work in, our social system...etc.

Systemic psychotherapy leans towards analysing the schemes of behaviour we reproduce and that causes disharmony in our lives. First we identify these schemes through understanding ourselves and our natural positioning with more depth, then we can decide if and how to introduce change . It's a question of finding a different equilibrium that enables us to find happiness and serenity in our lives.

Through understanding ourselves better and learning to communicate differently with others around us we can significantly modify how we deal with the difficulties we are facing.

I also work with techniques using Traditional Chinese Medicine - Acupuncture, Nutripuncture, and vibrational medicine (the clearing of cellular memory and trans-generational trauma), regarding  the mind and body as one.
We can either stick to more traditional psychotherapy, or go towards more integrative holistic méthodes  that can greatly contribute to your health and wellbeing.

It's all up to you!
