The positive influence of Colette Portelance in my life

Colette Portelance’s approach profoundly changed my perception of myself and communication with others. During these three years, I learned to reconnect with my true essence, accept my vulnerabilities, and free myself from external influences.

The importance of non-directive therapeutic accompaniment

One of the key elements of TRA, Creative non-directive relationship therapy® is its non-directive nature. Unlike other forms of therapy where the therapist might suggest concrete solutions or behavioral strategies, the therapist adopts an approach that places the client at the heart of the process. Using active listening and open questions, the therapist fosters a climate of trust where the client can freely explore their thoughts and emotions. In this approach, the therapist’s role is not to give ready-made answers but to guide the client in their own reflection process. This non-directive accompaniment allows the client to become aware of their own inner resources and find solutions that best suit them. This promotes a more autonomous approach where the client is responsible for their choices while being supported throughout their journey. Non-directive accompaniment is particularly effective for those who wish to understand their own experience in a deep and nuanced way. In the absence of imposed advice, the client is free to follow their own pace and discover answers to their questions by themselves. This process of personal discovery is essential for developing a sense of self-mastery and strengthening confidence in one’s abilities.
