About me and my therapy practice

I am an integrative psychotherapist with over sixteen years of clinical experience across private practice and institutional settings in France and the United Kingdom. I work with adults and couples, both in person and online, in French and English.

My approach is relational, trauma-informed and integrative. I believe symptoms often develop as meaningful responses to life experiences, attachment patterns and nervous system dysregulation rather than simply 鈥減roblems鈥 to eliminate. Therapy offers a space to better understand these patterns, reconnect with oneself and create more sustainable forms of change.

My work is particularly informed by attachment theory, trauma therapy, psychodynamic understanding, somatic awareness and emotional regulation. I have a special interest in sexual trauma, complex trauma, relational difficulties and emotional dysregulation.

Over the years, I have worked in a range of settings including public mental health services, refugee mental health, private clinical practice and school environments. This has given me experience supporting people from diverse cultural backgrounds and with very different life experiences.

Alongside psychotherapy, I increasingly integrate an understanding of the relationship between mind, body and physiology in mental health. I currently work collaboratively within a multidisciplinary network alongside GPs, psychiatrists, nutritionists and osteopaths when a more comprehensive approach may support the therapeutic process.

My style is engaged, thoughtful and collaborative. I aim to create a therapeutic relationship that feels safe, grounded and non-judgmental, while also allowing space for depth, reflection and meaningful transformation.

Practice description

I offer psychotherapy for adults and couples experiencing emotional, relational or psychological difficulties.

People often come to therapy when they feel overwhelmed, stuck, disconnected from themselves or repeating patterns they no longer understand. Therapy can help create greater awareness of these patterns while developing new ways of relating to oneself, others and emotional experience.

I work with a wide range of concerns including:

* Trauma and complex trauma

* Sexual trauma

* Anxiety and chronic stress

* Emotional dysregulation

* Relationship and attachment difficulties

* Intimacy and sexuality

* Identity and self-esteem

* Burnout and life transitions

* Neurodivergence and emotional sensitivity

My approach is integrative and adapted to each individual. Some people are looking for short-term support during a difficult period, while others wish to engage in deeper long-term therapeutic work.

I pay particular attention to the connection between psychological experience, the nervous system and the body. Depending on the person鈥檚 needs, therapy may include exploration of emotional patterns, relational dynamics, body awareness and stress regulation.

I work in both French and English and welcome patients from diverse cultural backgrounds. Sessions are available online internationally and in person in London.

My first session

The first session is an opportunity for us to explore what brings you to therapy and what you may be looking for at this stage of your life.

I understand that starting therapy can sometimes feel unfamiliar or vulnerable, so I aim to create a space that feels calm, respectful and collaborative from the beginning.

During this initial session, we will discuss:

* Your current difficulties or concerns

* Relevant personal history

* Emotional, relational or behavioural patterns you may be noticing

* Previous experiences of therapy if applicable

* What you hope therapy may help you with

The first session is also an opportunity for you to get a sense of how I work and whether the therapeutic relationship feels right for you. Finding the right therapeutic fit is an important part of the process.

Some people come with very clear goals, while others arrive feeling uncertain, overwhelmed or unable to fully articulate what they are experiencing. Both are completely welcome.

Sessions are available in French or English, online or in person in London.
