HYPNOGESTALT, PSYCHOTHERAPY AND ERICKSONIAN HYPNOSIS IN BARCELONA AND ONLINE
Do you feel that inner knot that prevents you from moving forward?
Together we can understand it deeply, dissolve it and find your way
Nice to meet you, I'm Axelle Clauzel
Psychologist, Gestalt therapist and Ericksonian hypnotherapist. My life has been a journey of growth, self-improvement and personal discovery that has profoundly shaped my therapeutic approach.
I grew up in a large and extended family, where I learned the value of mutual support, affection and loyalty. From a young age, I lived with people from diverse backgrounds, which cultivated in me a deep respect for cultural and social differences. I am a proud part of the LGBT community and a strong advocate of anti-racist values. My path has not been without challenges: I experienced economic hardship, faced complex family situations and struggled with anxiety from an early age. Each obstacle became an opportunity to develop resilience and empathy, qualities that today define my professional practice. In addition, my passions for contemporary dance and art, along with having lived in 6 different countries, have forged my adaptability and multicultural understanding.
I graduated in Psychology from the University of Toulouse and completed a Master’s degree in Child and Adolescent Psychopathology at the Autonomous University of Barcelona. Although I persisted in my academic path, my real professional transformation came when I discovered Gestalt Therapy and Ericksonian Hypnosis, tools that revolutionized my approach.
Perhaps you’ve been feeling a weight on your shoulders for some time now, a burden that manifests itself in different ways.
It may be that constant restlessness that robs you of your calm, a deep sadness that colors your days, or the recurring frustration of stumbling upon the same obstacles in your relationships. Perhaps you recognize yourself in an internal struggle against the impulses that dominate you (eating when you’re not truly hungry, smoking when you want to quit, or other habits that control you), or in that self-critical voice that prevents you from valuing yourself and moving forward.
I understand what it’s like to feel lost, disconnected from yourself or others, and doubting whether it’s really possible to feel different. I know you long to find inner peace, genuine confidence, the freedom to be yourself without fear, and the ability to build healthier relationships.
That longing is the compass that tells us that, even if you don't see the way now, there is a direction to wellness.
And the first step towards that direction is to find a safe haven. A human, warm and confidential space where you can take off your armor, where you feel truly heard and understood in your totality, without judgment or labels. A place where your vulnerability is welcomed and your story respected.
That is what I aspire to build with you in every encounter. My approach is based on human connection, on being present to you in an authentic way. These are the human pillars of my work:
These are the human pillars of my work:
- Deep, non-judgmental listening
- Closeness and human warmth
- Empathic understanding
- I immerse myself in your story to capture not only the facts, but the deep feeling, without preconceived ideas.
- Encourage a relaxed and trusting environment; therapy is a meeting between people.
- Genuinely connect with your emotional experience, validating your perspective from absolute respect.
- Feeling safe to share everything, even the most difficult.
- Build a real bond that supports and sustains you.
- Feel relief to be understood and begin to understand you.
My sensitivity is that fine-tuned ability to go beyond the superficial symptoms and quickly grasp the root of what is happening to you, understanding the deep dynamics that generate the discomfort.
We don't hang around; we seek to understand the core in order to address it effectively.
And my creativity is nothing more than the flexibility to adapt the path to you. Like a good tailor, I do not offer you a standard solution. First I listen to you carefully, I understand your unique “measurements” (your history, your needs, your way of being). Only then, together, we design the “handcrafted” strategy that allows you to move forward, using the precise understandings and tools that you need at each moment, without rigidity.
Through this human, personalized and deep accompaniment, you can start to:
- Gain clarity about yourself and what you really want and need.
- Free yourselffrom repetitive patterns, fears or hurts that hold you back.
- Find healthier ways to manage your emotions and impulses.
- Reconnect with your authenticity and feel more like yourself.
- Build more balanced, respectful and nurturing relationships.
- Develop greater confidence in your resources and decisions.
- Feel a greater inner calm and vitality.
If these words touch you in any way, if you feel it’s time to really take care of yourself and seek meaningful change, I invite you to take the first step. Book a brief free initial call with me. It will be a close conversation, without any commitment, so you can resolve your doubts and feel if I am the right person to accompany you on this important journey.
My training has been greatly enriched by learning from figures and movements that I consider fundamental:
Living Gestalt Therapy
- I trained for 3 years at Casa Ambar, connecting deeply with the vision of Gestalt inspired by Claudio Naranjo through the teachings of his disciple Jesus Elecalde.
Ericksonian hypnosis
My hypnosis practice is also heavily influenced by the vision and work of Daniela Constantin and Jeffrey Zeig, direct disciple of Milton Erickson, who passed on to me a unique and creative way of applying hypnosis.
Psychology
I graduated in psychology in France and completed a master’s degree in clinical child and juvenile psychopathology at the University of Barcelona, where I acquired all my knowledge of psychopathology and the clinical field..
In addition to these foundations, my perspective draws on the richness of Psychoanalysis (especially Lacan’s influence in France), Developmental Psychology, Systemic Therapy, as well as approaches such as Cognitive-Behavioral and practical tools from Coaching and PNL.
My vision: an authentic accompaniment for your well-being.
Today, my unique approach combines and integrates all this knowledge to offer you a holistic and personalized accompaniment, adapted to your unique needs, whether you are a child, adolescent, adult or couple. I collaborate with organizations such as Senda, Spring health, Casa Ambar and Bcn Gestalt, which allows me to continue to grow.
Throughout my career, I have been faithful to my vision of a therapy that goes beyond the limitations of specific schools. My goal is to provide you with excellent, exclusive and unique quality care, working in a relaxed and sustainable manner. I firmly believe that true healing comes from embracing who we really are. In my practice, you will find a space where you can be authentic, where your struggles are understood and where together, we can discover the path to a full and meaningful life.
