Brief Therapy practice in Lausanne

I provide Brief Therapy to individuals, couples and families in Lausanne.

My practice is based on the research-proven techniques developed by the Mental Research Institute of Palo Alto, which offer solutions to an array of different personal and interpersonal problems: eating disorders, depression, phobia, marital conflict, problems with children and adolescents, stress and work related issues.

I usually work on the basis of a maximum of ten sessions. The purpose of each session is to promote change in an effective and sustainable way.

Brief Therapy

Practicing Brief Therapy means seeking to help clients solve their problems in the most rapid, complete and sustainable way possible.

At an initial consultation, we explore the clients' current issues, establish the focus of therapy and start looking for practical ways to promote change.

Depending on the desire of the client and the nature of the problem, others who can be involved in the solutions might be asked to participate.

Frequently, "homework" is suggested in-between sessions, so that change is actively being pursued both inside and outside the therapy office. This helps to dramatically shorten the therapeutic process and therefore reduce the therapy duration.

The therapy ends after a consolidation phase, which enables the client to ensure that the desired change is sustained.

 

About me

Guillaume Delannoy

French citizen based in Switzerland since 1998, I gained my therapist certification from the Institut Gregory Bateson (IGB), official representative of the Mental Research Institute of Palo Alto in French-speaking Europe.

My 5-year brief therapy training with IGB included two years of intensive practice as associate therapist within their brief therapy center in Paris.  I also trained with numerous other practitionners, renowned in the area of brief therapy and hypnotherapy, for example with the Institut Romand d'Hypnose Suisse.

In addition to my private therapy practice, I am currently a member of IGB's training & research team.  I also work with clients facing work and career problems, helping them to deal with highly emotional situations and manage difficult relationships in the workplace.
