About

🌿 What is Sophrology?
Sophrology is a gentle method created by neuropsychiatrist Alfonso Caycedo, drawing inspiration from psychology, hypnosis, yoga, and relaxation techniques. It trains the mind much like an athlete trains the body.

Through breathing exercises, muscle relaxation, and guided visualisations, sophrology helps develop self-awareness. This practice supports individuals in cultivating calm, confidence, and balance in daily life.

Benefits include: stress reduction, improved sleep, enhanced self-confidence, and better emotional management. A gentle, accessible method to nurture well-being every day.

🌿 Areas of Support
Sophrology can assist in various aspects of daily life, including:

• Stress, anxiety, and intense emotions

• Focus, mental clarity, and organisation

• Confidence: self-esteem and self-assurance

• Sleep difficulties and insomnia-related issues

• Physical and mental tension linked to stress (as a complement to medical care if needed)

• Stress in social interactions: relational difficulties, shyness, hypersensitivity

• Uncomfortable habits or automatic behaviours (alongside specialised support if required)

• Life transitions: moving house, career change, major life adjustments

• Emotional challenges: break-ups, relational difficulties, burnout, loss of purpose

• Professional issues: overload, dismissal, conflict, loss of motivation

• Grief and difficult life stages (with appropriate complementary support)

• Body relationship and eating behaviours (always alongside medical guidance)

• Mental preparation: exams, interviews, competitions

🌿 Contraindications

• Severe, untreated psychiatric disorders (psychosis, schizophrenia, paranoia)

• Delirious episodes, hallucinations, significant dissociation

• Major depression or severe depressive states not medically supervised

⚠ Note: Sophrology is a complementary method. It supports but does not replace medical care. If in doubt or in the presence of a disorder, please consult a healthcare professional.

🌿 How a Session Works
Each session combines breathing, body relaxation/muscle release, and positive visualisations to restore calm, balance, and energy.

• Sessions begin with a conversation to identify your needs.

• This is followed by guided exercises.

• The session concludes with a sharing moment.

Every programme is designed to support you and help you move forward with confidence and serenity.

• Standard sessions last 45 minutes.

• A short 25-minute introductory session is also available via WhatsApp call. It follows the same format in a shorter version, ideal for a first experience of sophrology.

• A full 45-minute session is recommended for comprehensive support from the very first session, but you are free to choose the format that suits you.

For longer sessions, some health insurance plans may cover part of the cost of sophrology sessions, depending on your policy. Ask your provider for details. Invoices are available upon request for reimbursement.
