Guy Berthet-Tissot
Audio-psycho-phonology practitioner, musician-educator
Guy conducts listening assessments and designs personalised programmes with measurable, lasting outcomes. A trained musician and graduate of three conservatoires, he brings to clinical practice an intimate understanding of the relationship between hearing, the psyche and the voice.
listening assessments and bespoke programmes
Audio-psycho-phonology starts from an observation: the way we listen shapes the way we learn, speak and regulate our emotions. A listening assessment identifies distortions — poorly integrated frequencies, reversed auditory laterality, middle-ear fatigue — and informs a stimulation programme that targets precisely these imbalances.
Guy approaches this discipline with the rigour of a conservatoire-trained musician. For him, the ear is not an abstract concept: it is an instrument he has practised on stage and in the classroom for years. This experience allows him to perceive nuances of listening that clinical training alone does not always reveal.
His approach is transdisciplinary, rigorous and compassionate: each programme is designed around the patient’s goals, with measurable milestones and regular progress reviews.
who can benefit from this approach
Guy designs personalised therapeutic programmes in the areas of listening, voice, language and attention.
ADHD, learning difficulties, autism spectrum
Auditory stimulation for attention, spoken and written language, and sensory integration. In coordination with the centre’s Giger MD and functional medicine programmes.
Tinnitus and auditory hypersensitivity
Rehabilitation of central auditory circuits through neuro-auditory stimulation. A complementary approach to the centre’s photobiomodulation and vagal stimulation therapies.
Listening, voice and oral expression
Work on the audio-vocal loop for expression difficulties, the spoken and singing voice, and verbal fluency. An approach informed by Guy’s conservatoire teaching experience.
Attention, concentration and emotional regulation
Filtered auditory stimulation acts on cortical tone and autonomic nervous system regulation. The effects can be measured in sustained attention capacity and stress management.
from the stage to the clinic
Deeply drawn to the science linking hearing, the psyche and the voice, Guy trained in Toulouse and Montpellier under Patrick de la Roque and Sophie Varanfrain, practitioners affiliated with the Optim Écoute network, before continuing his training in Geneva with Julien Frère.
A musician-educator, he holds diplomas from the conservatoires of Besançon, Versailles and Geneva. His musical background gives him a listening ability honed by years of instrumental practice and teaching — a sensitivity that clinical training alone cannot replicate.
This dual experience — stage and clinic — underpins an approach that combines scientific rigour and perceptive finesse, in the service of each patient’s goals.
