What Sofia Payaro offers English speakers in Nice
Sofia Payaro is a clinical psychologist and psychotherapist at place Cigalusa in Nice, working specifically with trauma. Alongside EMDR she is trained in Somatic Experiencing, an approach that works through physical sensation in the body rather than through narrative, on the basis that trauma is held somatically and cannot always be reached by talking about it. That is a genuine difference in method, not a label, and worth understanding before you choose between practitioners.
Consultations are given in French, English, Spanish and Italian, which makes her the most multilingual option in this category and matters more here than in most: describing a frightening memory in a language you are still translating into is its own obstacle. Her hours are the other practical draw. Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays run from 08:00 to 20:00, Wednesdays and Fridays are evenings only from 17:00, and Saturday mornings are open, so a course of therapy does not have to be carved out of the working day. Set expectations accordingly on evidence: her public review record is very small, a handful of entries, two of them written in Spanish and all warm about her sensitivity. There is not yet a long track record to read.
