Founded in 1988, the Job Service Foundation is a non-profit foundation under private law, recognized as a public utility by the canton of Neuchâtel, specializing in the professional integration of young people, adolescents and students. In addition to providing information and advice, the Foundation offers, free of charge, a placement service, training, support courses and various professional integration programs adapted to each individual's needs, thanks to the network of companies that the Foundation has built up over the past 30 years. During these integration measures in the economic environment, the young people, as well as the companies that welcome them, benefit from a follow-up and a tailor-made accompaniment from the Job Service teams . The Foundation is eduQua and InQualis certified for the quality of its integration services. Professional and individualized supervision The Foundation works with committed professionals whose experienced, specialized and complementary profiles are the strength of the services offered. Combining listening, empathy and fine expertise in the professional integration of young people, the Job Service teams work at the La Chaux-de-Fonds and Neuchâtel sites. SERVICES TO YOUNG PEOPLE The objective of the Foundation is to help young people develop their own potential to achieve autonomy and integrate the professional world. The Job Service Foundation is aimed at adolescents and young adults between the ages of 15 and 30 who are looking for their first job, an internship, or an apprenticeship, and who are looking for a professional project or, more broadly, a life project, but who do not always know how to mobilize the family, social and/or financial resources available. SERVICES TO COMPANIES AND PRIVATE INDIVIDUALS Job Service is committed to bringing together young people and companies in their mutual expectations and to facilitating their encounter on the job market. The Foundation therefore works closely with many economic actors in the public and private sphere. The Foundation also wishes to respond to the needs of young people to have small jobs during their years of study. To this end, the Foundation extends its placement service to private individuals, allowing them to hire one or more young people in a facilitated manner, to carry out various tasks or to help them during special events.

Practitioner recognized by the complementary health insurance funds affiliated with ASCA Languages spoken: French - English - Italian - German Gestalt psychotherapy Art therapy Couples therapy Personal development Psycho-corporeal work Therapeutic hypnosis “Because our life is the instrument with which we experience the truth” (Thich Nhat Hanh) What is Hypnosis? Hypnosis is a natural state that we all experience on a daily basis without even realizing it, such as when driving, walking, or being deeply absorbed in a book or a film. It is an altered state of consciousness where the unconscious takes center stage while consciousness steps back, transforming itself into a calm observer. In this state, the mind is receptive and open to new ideas, new perceptions, and most importantly, new ways of approaching life's challenges. The hypnotic state offers fertile ground for learning, discovery, and self-exploration. It allows you to bypass conscious barriers such as fears, limiting beliefs, or psychological defense mechanisms. By accessing this state, the brain uses its internal resources to highlight hidden skills and promote desired changes. This allows you to redefine perceptions and pave the way for more appropriate and satisfying behaviors. Stimulating Creativity Hypnosis acts as a lever to stimulate creativity, an essential quality for shaping a reality that better matches our deep aspirations and needs. It allows you to question habitual thought patterns, free yourself from conventions, and make room for new perspectives. In this space of mental freedom, we can imagine new solutions to old problems, as if we were creating a blank canvas where all possibilities are possible. This creative process is at the heart of the hypnotic experience. It encourages us to explore new paths, to move away from preconceived ideas and to consider alternative solutions. By using hypnosis, we learn to mobilize our internal resources effectively and to integrate them into our daily lives. This state of openness allows us to revisit our representation of ourselves and to reconfigure our behaviors so that they are in line with our desires and our objectives. A Brief, Solution-Oriented Therapy Hypnotherapy is often called brief therapy because it focuses on solutions rather than problems. At the beginning of each session, the therapist discusses with the person their objectives and the positive suggestions that will be explored during the hypnotic trance. This approach aims to redirect attention to aspects of life that are often neglected by the conscious mind. Hypnotic induction is a phase where the therapist uses techniques to modify the state of consciousness, thus promoting the hypnotic state. Contrary to what one might believe, the person under hypnosis remains active and maintains total control over the process. At any time, they can choose to engage or interrupt the experience. The role of the hypnotherapist is to accompany, suggest and guide using images, metaphors and propositions that resonate with the unconscious. Hypnosis does not seek to impose changes, but rather to reveal those that the person is ready to consider and integrate into their life. It allows them to free themselves from habits that have become obsolete and to reconnect with ways of doing things that are more in line with their current aspirations. On average, hypnotherapy takes place over a cycle of three to four sessions. Each session brings new perspectives and gives the person time to assimilate and put into practice the changes in their daily life. If necessary, additional cycles can be considered to deepen the work undertaken. Hypnosis as a Complement to Medical Care
