Therapeutic approach

I bring warmth, empathy, and a gentle sense of humor to our conversations.My approach is relational, which means we explore how your relationships -past and present, including the one we build in therapy-shape your thoughts, feelings, and sense of self.My work is informed by :Psychoanalytic therapy - focused on unconscious processes and respectful of each person's individuality.Humanistic therapy - helping you in the here and now, with empathetic understanding.Embodied therapy - developing awareness of your body's experience and signals.

In London

I work from The Practice Rooms in London Bridge (SE1), a calm and welcoming space in the heart of the city.

Individuals

I work with young adults(18+) and adults, helping them explore personal challenges.I currently do not work with children.

Couples

I work with couples face to face (not online) to create a supportive space where both partners can be heard and understood. I particularly enjoy working with couples from different cultural or linguistic backgrounds, helping them navigate the complexities that arise when ways of thinking, communicating, and relating differ.Together, we explore patterns, emotions, and unspoken dynamics, fostering greater mutual understanding.

Therapy in French and English

I conduct therapy sessions in French and English... and sometimes a mix of both ! It is always easier to express yourself in the language of your heart.My professional and life experience in France, England, New Zealand and Canada have made me particularly sensitive to all questions related to expatriation.

Changing countries, languages and cultures is a challenge. Expatriation, whether it be for a few months or for a lifetime, triggers many questions for individuals and families. It is a wonderful experience but also a disorientating one, as French and Canadian novelist Nancy Huston describes beautifully in her essay Losing North :"To be in geographic exile is to be split in two chronologically: the place where you spent your childhood is far away. You've got one life here, and another there (...) ".Whether you are multilingual or have never left your hometown, I welcome anyone looking for a supportive space.

The first session

Contacting a psychotherapist is not always an easy task, especially when it is your first time.The first session is not a commitment for the long term. It is an opportunity to get to know each other and present the situation you are in.I always suggest taking the time to reflect, and if necessary, having a second session before committing to therapeutic work.

Supervision

What is supervision?Supervision in psychotherapy involves consulting another therapist to take a reflective and critical look at how one works with clients. It’s important to note that confidentiality is strictly maintained throughout the process.I consider supervision to be an essential part of my professional practice.

Specific interests

I have a particular passion for working with adolescents. My recent experience in an adolescent inpatient unit has deepened my ability to attentively navigate the complex and often profound questions that emerge during this pivotal stage of life.I also take great pleasure in supporting young adults. Entering the professional world, gaining independence from the family environment, and navigating early romantic and sexual experiences are just some of the topics that may arise during therapeutic work.I have a strong focus on the experience of parenthood, especially during the perinatal phase (pregnancy and the early ages). Navigating the challenges of parenthood can be overwhelming for all new parents, and for some, it may even lead to feelings of depression.Finally, I am deeply dedicated to supporting professionals in relationship-centered fields. This includes teachers, a profession I practiced for over a decade, but also nurses, psychologists, doctors, and social workers—those who often need care themselves to continue caring for others.

Titles and regulation

Psychologist, psychiatrist, psychoanalyst... what are the differences?There are 2 main types of therapists : psychiatrists (or child psychiatrist) and psychologists.
A psychiatrist is a doctor. They are specifically trained to make a diagnosis and prescribe medication, including psychotropic drugs (antidepressants, anxiolytics, neuroleptics, sleeping pills, etc.). Sessions with a psychiatrist can also involve talking and listening.
A psychologist is a university graduate, but not a doctor. They cannot prescribe medication. There are many specialisations in psychology, depending on the age group and field of activity.
Psychoanalysts and psychotherapists may be psychiatrists or psychologists, but not necessarily.I was trained in a French university as a clinical psychologist and psychotherapist (Master's Degree).
