To continue our series of articles on Rare Pearls support, what a pleasure it was for us to exchange with Caroline Joubert, passionate psychologist, interesting and modern in her approach, continually training. Specialized in assessment and support for cognitive, emotional and behavioral difficulties, Caroline practices in Berlin, with openness and kindness.
His specialty: neuropsychology
She began her professional life supporting elderly people suffering from neurological disorders such as Alzheimer's disease, or people who have been victims of a public road accident.
After several years, she moved into psychological support for children and adults as an independent.
Today, she focuses more onsupport for adults suffering from Neurodevelopmental Disorders (TND), in particular Attention Deficit Disorder with or without Hyperactivity (ADHD) or people affected by autism. She is also interested in issues related to anxiety, “hypersensitivity”, as well as “High Intellectual Potential” (HPI). Difficulties with concentration, memory, communication/relationships or even emotion regulation are good reasons to consult Caroline.
Caroline Joubert accompanied me in the detection of adult ADHD, then its treatment. She was of immense help to me, particularly thanks to her relevant advice, her great listening skills and a sincere desire to actively participate in my well-being.
A goal for patients: to find balance
Some people consult Caroline Joubert with a specific request and others don't know not always “why” they come to see her. They simply know that they are suffering in their daily lives, but do not know always the cause. Caroline from the first meetings will be able to guide each person is starting a diagnostic process if desired by the patient, or by setting up support. She may also be required to redirect the patient.and towards another professional, if the problem does not concern his field of expertise.
After a diagnostic phase, the person can continue with a support phase to find daily balance and live in peace with the diagnosis received. “Knowing” what is happening and why there is or was suffering can generate several reactions: acceptance, refusal, panic, or the feeling of being lost and not knowing. what to do with it”. The psychological support phase is therefore just as important as the preceding phase.
I am convinced by Caroline Joubert's approach. Whether for help in implementing positive psychologist techniques or for in-depth psychological support, his methods and contact are particularly effective.
An integrative approach for everyone
In the introduction, we told you that Caroline was passionate, this also translates into opening up what psychology is for her, to everyone. That's to say, putting your well-being in everyone's hands. In this way, it comes close to my personal vision of what coaching can be. It is also distinguished from an archaic or very clichéd vision, where the psychologist would be “in control” while the patient would be as “subject”. Caroline brings her knowledge and ethics while deeply respecting the person she supports. It in fact integrates the psychoeducation during her consultations: it is essential for her to explain to her patient their difficulties or pathologies so that they can understand them and live better with them, or even work on certain aspects.
With her advanced approach, specialized in neuropsychology, but global thanks to her intellectual curiosity, she also integrates positive psychology. She has also led positive psychology workshops based on the work of several specialists (Christophe André & al.)
I loved leading these group workshops, because sharing and kindness were always there. I love group dynamics and the rich interactions they generate. During these workshops, each person shares their advice and the cohesion of the group is incredible.
