Anaëlle MALHERBE

Clinical psychologist and mental coach for top athletes, four French national teams and corporate executives.

I accompany people in their quest for well-being and performance. Accompanying people, understanding how they function and what they value, helping them through the different stages of their lives. These are the motivational aspects that led me to join the Ecole des Psychologues Praticiens. For five years, I followed a sandwich course with solid field experience.

I then moved on to support teenagers and young adults facing personal, family, professional and relational difficulties. My career then led me to work in a management consulting firm, where I worked closely with employees and decision-makers, helping them with recruitment requests, outplacement, skills assessments, etc.

My areas of expertise include: coaching elite top-level athletes at INSEP in preparation for the Olympic Games and other major sporting events. I use the tools of mental preparation to enhance my interventions in areas such as emotional management, concentration difficulties, performance routines, relaxation, mental imagery, team cohesion, leadership and more.

I accompanied five athletes who made the Rio Olympic Games 2016. In 2018, I worked with Yannick Noah and the players at the Davis Cup. In 2021, at the Tokyo Olympic and Paralympic Games, I accompanied 25 Olympic athletes, 19 of whom won medals. In 2022, I was one of two psychologists to go with the French Delegation to the Beijing Olympic Winter Games. Currently I'm following four French Teams in preparation for the Paris 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games.

Support for managers and psycho-social risks: stress management, team cohesion, leadership, harassment, relational difficulties, burn out, etc.

The support process : I propose to accompany you in your process, as close as possible to your concerns, while respecting your rhythm. With this in mind, I suggest that you set the terms of our meetings together during our first consultation. This specialized support is designed to quickly calm your emotions and help you regain your self-confidence.

My practice is based on several therapeutic models such as solution-oriented therapy, mental preparation and person-centred humanistic therapies. As a sportswoman, I am a former judoka (black belt in judo-jujitsu), and I practice Thai boxing and rollerblading.
