About me
My name is Cyrielle Hue. I am a neuropsychologist and a CBT psychologist. After more than ten years in hospital practice, I am setting up a private practice so that I can do what the hospital left me no time for: supporting what comes after the assessment.
Introduction
Why I left the hospital
I worked for more than ten years as a neuropsychologist in hospital settings. That is where I learnt most of what I know, with patients whose situations were rarely straightforward.
It is also where I met a limit. In a hospital, time and institutional constraints often reduce the work to producing the cognitive assessment, or to the short span of an admission. The report is handed over. And very often, that is where it stops.
Yet that is exactly the moment when the real questions arrive for patients. What do these results change for me, or for my child? How do I organise my days, now that I know? What do I say to my family, to my employer?
What I believe
The assessment is a starting point, not a conclusion
I am convinced that a neuropsychological assessment should not be an end in itself. It is the beginning of something.
I opened this practice to be able to support what follows: helping you take ownership of your results, then translate them into concrete decisions. That may mean psychotherapy, cognitive remediation, or a period of guidance with the people around you, depending on what you need, and at your pace.
Private practice is what makes that long timeframe possible. It does not replace the hospital: it takes over where the hospital stops.
Focus
Two fields I know from close up
I focus on neurodevelopmental conditions (more specifically autism spectrum disorder and ADHD) and on anxiety disorders.
I know them through clinical practice. I also know them differently: through a personal sensitivity that helps me understand the mechanisms involved, the obstacles, and what it means to live with them day after day.
That gives me no ready-made answers. It does, I think, stop me underestimating the effort you are already making.
My background
Where I learnt this work
Two master’s placements in 2013 and 2014, a degree awarded in Strasbourg, then hospital practice in Luxembourg since 2015.
Neurology department and memory centre
Master I placement · Hôpitaux Civils de Colmar
My first clinical training ground: assessment of cognitive impairment after acquired brain injury (stroke, traumatic brain injury, anoxia), and follow-up of neurodegenerative conditions within the CMRR, the memory resource and research centre attached to the department.
Memory resource and research centre
Master II placement · CMRR, Reims university hospital
A CMRR is a tertiary hospital centre for the diagnosis of neurocognitive disorders. It is where the difficult diagnoses are made, the ones that resist a first opinion.
Master II in cognitive and clinical neuropsychology
2014 · University of Strasbourg
Initial training in neuropsychology: assessment of cognitive functions, clinical signs of brain damage, and the methodology of testing and interpretation.
Neuropsychologist in hospital practice
Since 2015 · Hôpitaux Robert Schuman, Grand Duchy of Luxembourg
Patients with very varied profiles, from adults to the very old, and solid experience of assessing and treating complex cognitive and emotional difficulties.
Private practice and CBT training in progress
Today · AFTCC · Sainte-Marie-aux-Chênes
I am extending my practice with training in cognitive behavioural therapy at the AFTCC, so that what I offer is oriented towards everyday life and not towards assessment for diagnostic purposes alone.
Continuing education
Staying current, in practice
Neuropsychology moves quickly: assessment tools are re-normed, diagnostic criteria are revised, and the guidance of the French National Authority for Health (HAS) is updated. A practitioner who stops training is working with an out-of-date practice.
Acquiring skills and specialising
- Course “Grief: understanding it, legitimising it, supporting it”, DeWidong, 2022.
- Course “Neurodevelopmental disorders as a whole and in detail: screening, assessment and support for atypical development in children”, Octopus Formation, 2026.
- Training in cognitive behavioural therapy at the AFTCC, module 2, in progress.
- ADHD training cycle run by the Association des Praticiens en TCC de Bourgogne, in progress (2026-2027).
- Course “Differential diagnosis in neurodevelopmental disorders: when the clinical picture is not always what you think”, Octopus Formation, scheduled for April 2027.
Keeping knowledge current
- National and regional neuropsychology congresses, which I attend regularly.
- The Journées de Neurologie de Langue Française (JNLF), the annual meeting of French-speaking neurology.
- MOOC on neurodevelopmental disorders (autism, specific learning disorders, ADHD, intellectual developmental disorder), École des TND, Montpellier university hospital, 2026.
- MOOC AUTISPOC: core knowledge on autism spectrum disorders, University of Bordeaux, 2026.
My practice
The pillars of my practice
Four principles that describe concretely how I work, and what you can expect.
The assessment opens, it does not close
A report is only worth what it makes possible afterwards: understanding, adjusting, rehabilitating, referring. That is the reason this practice exists.
You are a co-author of the work
In CBT the relationship is collaborative, participative and active. We set the goals together, and you know at every moment why we are doing what we are doing.
The alliance comes before the technique
A sense of trust is a pillar of a successful psychotherapy. The first session is also there for that: checking that you feel comfortable, and that the approach matches what you expect.
Making you autonomous, then letting you go
My aim is to hand over tools that you will use on your own. Therapy is meant to stop once its goals are met.
Everyone welcome
A practice open to all
This practice is LGBTQ+ friendly. That is not a decorative label: it means your sexual orientation, your gender identity and your pronouns are taken as facts. If they are not the reason you are coming, they will not be placed at the centre of the work, but they will be taken into account in adapting it. If you would like to tell me about aspects of your experience so that I can support you better, there is all the room you need.
The same applies to neurodiversity, to disability, to family situation and to personal beliefs. The French code of ethics for psychologists requires respect for the dignity of the person; that is a floor, not a ceiling.
Professional framework
Title, registration and confidentiality
In France, psychologue is a title protected by law (no. 85-772 of 25 July 1985). Practitioners are listed on a national register and hold an RPPS number, the French identifier for health professionals; it is published in the legal notice, together with the business registration (SIRET) as soon as that is issued.
I am bound by professional secrecy. Nothing said in a session is passed on to a third party (doctor, school, employer, family) without your agreement, except in the cases provided for by law.
An assessment report belongs to you. You decide who receives it.
