Sessions

How the work begins

In person, in French or in English, in South Kensington, London. Each path is singular; what follows describes only the frame.

A quiet consulting room in London: a linen armchair and couch beside a tall window in soft morning light

A first meeting

The first meetings are a time to speak about what brings you, without any obligation to continue. They allow us to hear what is at stake and to decide whether to begin, and in which language, or languages.

To arrange a first meeting, write to contact@frederiquestref.com. A few lines are enough. I reply within a few days to suggest a time.
