Franck Diboues, CBT Psychologist

Franck Diboues, CBT psychologist

In 2003, I graduated in clinical psychology from Paris 8 University.

During my last two years of study as an intern I treated victims of violence and among them suffered trauma. After graduating, I continued this work in a public hospital with the Forensic Medical Emergency Department and Associations for the Support of Victims of Criminal Offense in Paris and surrounding suburbs. After living in South East Asia, I returned to France to train medical staff and social workers about psychology and health. Since 2019 I’m based in Singapore.

I specialize in different approaches of change and psychotherapy including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EDMR), relaxation, mindfulness-based interventions and hypnotherapy. The main idea is to use integrative methodology, meaning to use appropriate techniques with the right person.  

My clinical practice is supervised by Anne Françoise Chaperon.

Discover “La Tête et le Ventre”

La Tête et le Ventre (The Head and Belly) is a method that I created for people who are overweight. Ideally you are never or rarely on diet and you do not have an eating disorder such as bulimia or anorexia.
