View profileBody-oriented psychotherapy, sometimes called somatic psychotherapy, includes the body in the therapeutic conversation. Stress and difficult experiences are not only remembered as thoughts; they can also show up as tension, restlessness, numbness or changes in breathing.
Sessions combine talking with attention to sensations, posture, breathing and small movements. The aim is to support regulation, a felt sense of safety and a better connection with your body. This work is used with stress, trauma, psychosomatic symptoms, anxiety and emotional numbness.
Touch is never a requirement: whether and how the body is involved is agreed with you.

Body-oriented psychotherapy is a therapeutic approach used by trained professionals to support emotional, behavioral, relational, or psychological change.
Body-oriented psychotherapy may be used for concerns such as Anxiety, Chronic pain, Complex PTSD (C-PTSD), Psychosomatic symptoms, and Trauma. The exact fit depends on assessment and goals.
Many people start with 6 to 12 sessions and review progress, while complex or long-standing concerns may require longer support.
Ask the therapist about their training, how sessions are structured, how progress is reviewed, and whether the method fits your goals and preferences.
A first session usually focuses on understanding what brings you to therapy, what you want to change, and whether the therapist’s style feels like a good fit.
You do not need to prepare anything perfect in advance. It is normal to start with questions, uncertainty, or mixed feelings.

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.
