Therefore, every intervention aligns with both developmental needs and individual strengths.

Services

Lanèl delivers a comprehensive array of personalized psychological services, each designed with structured methods and active client engagement:

• Individual Psychotherapy
  One-on-one sessions employ narrative therapy, CBT, and DBT skills to address anxiety, depression, and self-regulation difficulties. Moreover, she incorporates reflective exercises that foster insight and self-compassion.

• Play & Family Therapy
  For children, Lanèl uses play-based interventions to help them express and resolve emotional conflicts safely. Furthermore, she coaches parents through caregiver guidance modules to reinforce therapeutic gains at home.

• Trauma-Focused Interventions
  She provides EMDR, Brainspotting, and BWRT to process single-incident and complex trauma. Consequently, clients experience symptom reduction and improved emotional regulation.

• Behavioural & Emotional Assessments
  Structured evaluations—using standardized psychometric tests—identify cognitive, emotional, and behavioural patterns. Additionally, she drafts clear clinical formulations that inform targeted treatment plans.

• Adolescent & Adult DBT Skills Training
  Modular programmes cover mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness. Therefore, participants build practical tools for managing intense emotions.

• Group Workshops & Psychoeducation
  She leads thematic groups on stress management, self-esteem building, and relapse prevention. Consequently, attendees benefit from peer support and skill reinforcement.

Each service emphasizes a client-centred experience, and Lanèl adjusts her approach based on ongoing feedback. As a result, clients achieve meaningful, sustainable progress.
