Je propose des séances de thérapie Internal Family Systems (IFS), en anglais et en français, en présentiel et en ligne, à travers l’Europe et le reste du monde.
C’est un chemin de transformation profonde et durable. Je serais honoré de le parcourir avec vous.

« Nos séances m’ont donné une véritable sensation de changement concret dans ma vie, et une manière nouvelle et positive d’aborder mes propres émotions.
Cela m’a vraiment permis d’avancer et de mieux gérer la détresse intense que je ressentais. »

Who am I ?
À propos de moi
Je suis thérapeute certifié, facilitateur de groupe et consultant organisationnel, travaillant en français et en anglais, et installé en région parisienne (CET / UTC+1).
Mon parcours m’a conduit à travers de nombreuses cultures, communautés et responsabilités,m’offrant une compréhension vécue des complexités émotionnelles que les gens rencontrent —en particulier celles et ceux qui vivent à l’étranger, travaillent à distance, naviguent entre plusieurs identités culturelles, ou traversent des périodes de transition.
J’accompagne les personnes dans l’exploration de l’anxiété, du burnout, de la surcharge émotionnelle, de la solitude, de la honte, de l’auto-critique, ainsi que des schémas plus profonds qui influencent leurs émotions et leurs relations.
Je propose des séances en ligne, ainsi qu’en présentiel en Seine-et-Marne et à Paris.
« Ben est dynamique, doux et très à l’écoute. Il sait poser les bonnes questions et offre des orientations justes et bienveillantes.
J’ai trouvé la méthode IFS particulièrement utile pour me connecter à différentes parties de moi-même et favoriser un véritable dialogue intérieur. »

Qu’est-ce que l’IFS ?
L’IFS (Internal Family Systems) est une approche thérapeutique fondée sur des preuves et centrée sur la compassion, conçue pour vous aider à comprendre et à guérir votre monde intérieur.Elle est particulièrement utile pour les personnes confrontées à l’anxiété, la surcharge, le burnout, la réactivité émotionnelle — y compris la colère réprimée ou incontrôlée — la dépression, la solitude, ou la sensation d’être “coincé(e)” dans des schémas répétitifs.
C’est un travail collaboratif, guidé par la personne elle-même, non pathologisant, doux mais profondément transformateur, et efficace aussi bien en ligne qu’en présentiel.

Internal Family Systems (IFS) is an evidence-based, non-pathologising approach that helps you understand and transform your inner emotional world. Instead of analysing problems from a distance, IFS guides you to connect with the “parts” of yourself that carry anxiety, shame, overwhelm, anger, loneliness, or past wounds — and to meet them with clarity and compassion.
Sessions begin by slowing down and turning your attention inward. With supportive guidance, you notice what thoughts, emotions, or body sensations are present. You then meet the “parts” of you that arise — such as a worried part, a perfectionist part, a shutdown part, or an inner critic — and explore what they’re trying to protect.
The process is gentle, respectful, and collaborative. You set the pace, and nothing is forced.

No. IFS is not dependent on recounting your entire history.
You are welcome to share whatever feels helpful, but therapy focuses primarily on your present-moment experience — how your emotions, reactions, and internal patterns show up right now.
This is often a great relief for people who find long life-story explanations exhausting or overwhelming.

This is often a great relief for people who find long life-story explanations exhausting or overwhelming.
Many people feel lighter, calmer, or more connected to themselves. Others leave with a sense of insight or relief around patterns that previously felt confusing or stuck.
Sometimes strong emotions surface — especially if a part of you finally feels heard — but this almost always leads to greater clarity and steadiness.

Yes. IFS translates exceptionally well to online work because the heart of the method is internal attention and emotional attunement.
Many clients find online sessions even easier: they can settle into the work from a familiar, comfortable environment without the stress of travel or transition.

IFS can benefit absolutely anyone seeking emotional clarity, balance, or self-understanding, at any stage of their life, regardless of their identity or current circumstances.
It can be especially helpful if you experience:
- anxiety, worry, or emotional overwhelm
- burnout, exhaustion, or chronic stress
- overthinking or mental loops
- loneliness or a feeling of disconnection
- shame or a harsh inner critic
- patterns that repeat in relationships or work
- the sense of being “stuck,” directionless, or out of alignment
- unresolved experiences from the past
IFS adapts to your pace, your sensitivity, and your lived experience — whether simple or complex.

Yes — I provide online therapy in English and French. I am based in CET / UTC+1 timezone, but am available for clients based both in Europe and across the globe.
You can choose 60, 75, 90, or 120-minute sessions.
Yes — IFS is a clinically proven, evidence-based approach supported by peer-reviewed research, including studies on PTSD, anxiety, and depression.
Yes. IFS is well-suited to people struggling with pressure, fatigue, or emotional overload. By working directly with the parts of you that are overwhelmed, pushing too hard, or shutting down, IFS helps you restore balance, reduce stress, and reconnect with your own inner stability.
Reimbursement depends on your country and insurer. Some plans cover therapy or counseling in English. I provide invoices if needed.
Yes. Overthinking usually comes from protective parts that are trying to keep you safe by analysing, planning, or anticipating.
IFS helps you meet those parts with understanding rather than frustration. As they feel less pressured, their intensity naturally softens — reducing mental loops and creating more inner space and calm.

Extensively.
Anxiety is often driven by parts of you that carry fear, urgency, or the sense that something could go wrong.
IFS gives these parts a safe relationship with your deeper Self, which helps them relax, trust, and release their burden of constant vigilance.
Many people experience a significant reduction in anxiety, reactivity, and stress after even a few sessions.
