The shortest distance between two points is a detour through childhood.
Why me
As a trauma-informed practitioner I am offering deep, focused, and liberating support for people who are ready to do real inner work.
My approach is informed by Compassionate Inquiry and grounded in thousands of hours of meditation, somatic exploration, and personal healing.
I bring presence, precision, and the ability to meet complexity with clarity and care.
This work isn’t surface-level. It’s deep, often intense, and can move quickly — but always in tune with your nervous system’s capacity.
Together, we dive into the patterns that keep repeating and create space for something new.
This is about rewiring how you relate to yourself, to others, and to life.
This process can be demanding. But it’s also profoundly freeing.
It’s through the cracks that the light comes in.
I offer a strong, safe, non-judgmental space where
all parts of you are welcome.
Where real transformation becomes possible.
About me
I am Bertrand Finckler, an IPHM-accredited trauma-informed therapist and space-holder with a background shaped by professional training and personal experience.
My path into this work wasn’t linear. It was shaped by diverse ethnical backgrounds, adversity, and a long-standing relationship with the question of belonging.
Growing up between cultures and navigating the complexities of identity, I’ve spent much of my life exploring where — and with whom — I feel truly at home. This journey included facing addiction and the deep emotional work that comes with healing from disconnection. These experiences didn’t just inform my practice — they transformed it. They taught me that healing happens in relationships, through presence, and in spaces where vulnerability is met with care, not judgment.
Today, I bring that understanding into every session.
I support clients not from a place of having it all figured out, but from an ongoing commitment to doing the work, personally and professionally.

In addition to formal training, I engage in continuous professional development, supervision, and personal practice. I believe that holding space for others requires a strong foundation of self-awareness, embodied presence, and ethical integrity.
My approach is relational, non-pathologising, and grounded in respect for your pace and lived experience. I aim to offer a space where you can come as you are — and begin to reconnect with what’s already within you.
