Psychotherapist and Psychoanalyst in Montpellier
A psychotherapist in Montpellier who can help you. Quickly.
Hello, I'm Gorana Arnaud
I am an English-speaking therapist in Montpellier, France, registered with the local health authority (ARS); my practice is situated in the historic centre of Montpellier.
I have two Master’s degrees in both Psychoanalysis and Psychotherapy and have been in full-time private practice since 2011. I have written two books on complex childhood trauma, « Healing from Childhood Abuse » and « The Enabler » (available on Amazon) and have been a guest lecturer at Montpellier University as well as a senior trainer and supervisor at several private psychoanalytical institutes.
Although I received the bulk of my training by Freudian academia psychoanalysts, I incorporate various modern practical tools into my work, in order to provide you with the very best of therapy.
How I can help you
For more than fifteen years, I have addressed a broad range of concerns, including intimacy and relationship challenges, childhood trauma, anxiety, and depression. With English as my first language, I primarily work with international adults and expatriates.
I also provide support to teenagers, children, and couples. The issues I can assist you with encompass, but are not limited to:
- Complex trauma, including childhood trauma
- Anxiety and panic attacks
- Depression
- Relationship difficulties
- Sexual concerns
- Narcissism and codependency
- Borderline personality disorder
- PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder)
- Dysfunctional family relationships
Feel free to reach out to schedule your initial consultation. During our meeting, you are welcome to ask any questions you may have, with no obligation for a follow-up session.
Different therapies
Psychotherapy
In a psychotherapy session, the patient and the therapist are seated in armchairs facing one another to quickly resolve a symptom or deal with a stressful situation.
Psychoanalysis
A psychoanalysis session takes place on the couch. It identifies and transforms patterns in how we think and act and goes to the inner core of our struggles.
Hypnosis
Hypnosis is a brief therapy to tackle a specific issue and lasts no more than five or six sessions. It requires a motivated subject to succeed.
Other therapeutic tools
I sometimes user newer therapies (which really are inherited from the past), such as Mindfulness and cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT).
