Practicing psychotherapy since 23 years, I have been mostly working early detection and psycho-reeducation for children with learning disabilities and mentally retarded children.

The focusing have been a global humanistic approach where the individual is never separated from his daily needs. Helping the child to gain basics in autonomy is a major goal where he could appreciates his capabilities and deal with them .The couple and family are essential to boost and develop their children process of awareness and integration for a better meaningfull life.

Parents are co-workers but also the participators of a growing up process where the parent-child interaction becomes an adaptive management of problems and changes. The child's life is the parents' concern and focusing.

The therapeutical work considers growing up as a mutual awareness process engaging the two partners for life.

I have olso been mostly working with adults; individuals, couples and families with pre-depressive and depressive states, panic anxiety problems and schizoaffective psychopathologies.

I have learned to deal with those typical XXI e century pathologies in helping the patient to be aware of his disorganized needs physical, mental, emotional and spiritual. Reorganizing what he really wants is another step to engage him in his daily priorities with a new feeling of self confidence and trust.

Gestalt therapy is my predominant approach in psychotherapy.

I am mostly influenced by Dr David Gorton my trainer and old time friend.

My late father Dr Henry Joseph Acoury, a fine human being and cardiologist taught me as a young boy to listen, observe and feel people's actions and reactions with compassion.
