He/him

————— On study leave —————

Trained in nursing, Simon has a wealth of varied experience, having worked in perinatal care with multicultural communities, both in metropolitan university hospitals and in northern Quebec, as well as on public health projects focusing on sexual health. Specialising in sexuality support with a particular interest in 2SLGBTQIA+ issues, he is currently completing his final master’s placements in sexology, in preparation for practising individual and couples sex-psychotherapy. At the same time, he shares his expertise by teaching sexology at university level, contributing to the training of future professionals in the field.

His practice is grounded in a stance of benevolent neutrality, prioritising reflective support. Clients are encouraged to explore their intimate, relational and family experiences in order to understand their meaning, shed light on their emotional dynamics and foster positive changes in their daily lives. This approach is primarily inspired by an understanding of how past experiences influence the present, whilst paying close attention to relational, identity-related and cultural dimensions. It is firmly rooted in an affirmative, inclusive framework that respects the diversity of lived experiences.

Areas of practice include:

• Sexual and gender diversity;

• The diversity of sexual orientations and sexual preferences (paraphilias, etc.);

• STIs and their consequences;

• Chronic illnesses and their impact on sexuality;

• Support for carers;

• Support with relationship and communication issues;

• Addiction and sexuality (chemsex, pornography, hypersexuality);

• The desire to have children and the transition to parenthood;

• Infertility, perinatal bereavement;

• Performance anxiety and burnout.

Individual and couples’ remote sessions are offered within a collaborative, safe and non-judgemental therapeutic space, promoting autonomy, understanding and personal fulfilment for those receiving support.
