Amélie's blog 
The coach life balance and well-being

About

I am Amélie, French by origin, I decided almost 20 years ago to go elsewhere if I was there. I came to settle in Quebec. I resumed university studies completed to date in psychology, criminology and mental health. The Human attracts me, fascinates me and its complexity still fascinates me. 

I have been working in the field of mental health intervention since 2006. I have had the chance to work with a varied clientele, from drug addicts, to federal prisoners, as well as to soldiers medically released from the armed forces. Like everyone else, I had a hard time, yes, I had a major depression. Good came out of it, because this event put me on the path to help employees on sick leave. I have the feeling today that people feel   that I understand them, and this feeling constantly confirms that I am in the right place. 

The launch of L'Escalier

In 2019, I got tired of compromising on my values and decided I had enough experience to offer my services as a freelancer. I have always seen mental health as a continuum on which we sometimes have to climb a few steps to regain balance. You suspected that there was a metaphor   at the origin of the Staircase. 

From the start, I was lucky to see my services retained by insurance companies. Since that time, I have been entrusted with more and more mandates to help people mobilize towards a return to work, in general they suffer from mental health problems largely dominated by mood and anxiety disorders. The staircase has developed and we are now about ten people passionate about helping relationships, working day by day to help people find balance and well-being.

If you are experiencing symptoms of psychological distress 

Today, we are having some success helping people with depression, anxiety and adjustment disorders get back to work.   We now want to open our services to people who are experiencing psychological distress. We seek to join those who are at work and suffer in silence. 
To do this, our first tool is this blog dedicated to psychological distress which will deal with what you feel (Fatigue and nervousness, difficulty making decisions, negative thoughts, difficulty concentrating, difficulty making decisions, loss of appetite , etc.)
and concrete ways to get out of it (good lifestyle habits, learning to set limits, acquiring strategies to manage your energy well, learning to question your negative ideas, etc.)_cc781905-5cde-3194-bb3b- 136bad5cf58d_

It's an outstretched hand and my team will do our best to help you  !
