Mr Christian Astre 

Before turning to psychology, Christian Astre spent almost 40 years in management positions with a major international construction and services group. This career, which spanned several countries, enabled him to develop solid intercultural experience and in-depth observation of human, emotional and behavioral dynamics in complex professional contexts.

Along the way, he came to realize the major impact that emotions have on individual and collective behavior, and the difficulties that arise when they are misunderstood or insufficiently taken into account. This observation led him to return to university to study psychology, with the aim of helping people to understand and regulate their emotions.

In his practice, Christian Astre places emotions at the heart of therapeutic work. He supports his patients in observing, understanding and regulating their emotions, using concrete tools tested in sessions and integrated into everyday life. His approach aims to encourage autonomy, the mobilization of personal resources and active involvement in the process of change, in a safe and caring environment.
