He mainly works with issues related to family relationships, couples, anxiety, self-confidence, death, the search for meaning, addictions, and depressive behaviours. His approach focuses on the functions and solutions that people have chosen within systems, rather than on blame, shifting responsibility or stagnation. Instead of adopting the role of the expert who “has the answers,” Vyron chooses to believe in each individual and in their inner resources.
He accompanies each client with respect and genuine interest on their personal journey, offering new perspectives through psychotherapeutic tools, uncovering hidden mental pathways and alternative ways of thinking and enabling the other person to choose their own path, find their own solution and rediscover themselves.
