View profileAddiction counselling helps when alcohol, drugs, medication or a behaviour such as gambling, gaming or pornography has become difficult to control. You do not need to call yourself an addict or wait for a crisis to ask for help.
Sessions explore what the substance or behaviour does for you, what it costs you and which goals feel realistic, from reducing harm to stopping. Counsellors often use motivational interviewing and CBT, and can help you find medical support when withdrawal needs supervision.

No. You can ask for help because you are worried about your alcohol or drug use, gambling, gaming or another behaviour. An assessment can clarify the level of risk and the most appropriate form of support.
Your goals should be discussed with you, but safety comes first. If physical dependence is possible, do not stop alcohol or a dependence-forming medicine abruptly without medical advice. For other drugs, ask a medical or specialist addiction service about the safest plan. A qualified professional may recommend medical assessment or specialist withdrawal support before psychological work continues.
Therapy can help identify triggers, warning signs and high-risk situations, strengthen coping strategies and create a response plan for lapses. It cannot guarantee that relapse will not occur, and some people also need medical, specialist or peer support.
Some psychological support can be provided online when this is clinically appropriate and permitted where both the client and professional are located. Online therapy is not suitable for a medical emergency, severe withdrawal, acute intoxication or every high-risk situation.
Yes. Partners and family members can seek support for their own stress, safety, communication and boundaries even if the other person is not ready to change.
It depends on the therapist. Some see clients in person in Nice, others work only online by secure video, and some offer both; the format is indicated on every profile. Online sessions can be a practical option if you live elsewhere on the Côte d’Azur or spend part of the year away.
Yes. Therapists in the network work in English, French and other languages. See the English-speaking and French-speaking therapists in Nice, or check the languages listed on each profile.
Psychiatrists are medical doctors, and their consultations are covered by the Assurance Maladie when you follow the coordinated care pathway. Sessions with psychologists and psychotherapists are mostly paid directly. Under the “Mon soutien psy” scheme, a limited number of sessions with participating psychologists can be partly reimbursed, and many mutuelles or expat insurances refund part of private sessions: check your contract. Therapists give you an invoice you can submit.
Fees are set by each therapist and displayed on their profile. The indicative ranges shown on this site are around €80 to €180 per session for most individual approaches, €120 to €220 for couples or family sessions and €70 to €130 for coaching, career counselling or parenting support. A session usually lasts 50 to 60 minutes, weekly or every two weeks.
Therapy cannot respond to emergencies. If you or someone near you is in danger, call 112 (European emergency number) or 15 (SAMU, medical emergencies). For suicidal thoughts, the national prevention line 3114 is free and available 24/7.
Start with what matters most to you: the language, the topic you want to work on, the approach, in-person or online sessions and the fee, all shown on the profiles. If you would like help choosing, tell us what you need and we will suggest therapists. Your impression after the first session counts too.
