"I can't change the direction of the wind, but I can adjust my sails to always reach my destination" - Jimmy Dean

Katherine Gradassi-Fournier

Welcome

As systemic-oriented psychotherapist, I welcome individuals, couples, and families, considering the different systems in which they evolve; systems that influence them and that they influence in turn.


To expand my range of methods, I have chosen to develop my skills in the treatment of psychotrauma through EMDR therapy (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) as well as the sensorimotor therapy approach.


Curious, dynamic, welcoming and benevolent by nature, I support the idea that we all have within us the necessary skills to overcome our difficulties and that it is often a question of remobilizing our dormant or forgotten resources.


Having always evolved in an international environment - humanitarian work and being binational, returning to Switzerland some 10 years ago, I am particularly sensitive to issues related to expatriation, migration and intercultural encounters.
