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.

Guy Berthet-Tissot — Activate Centre
The approach

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.

Areas of expertise

who can benefit from this approach

Guy designs personalised therapeutic programmes in the areas of listening, voice, language and attention.

Neurodevelopment

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 · Hyperacusis

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.

Voice · Language

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 · Regulation

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.

Training and background

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.
