Whether you have recently moved to France or already have an established life here, I understand how difficult it can be to access help when you need it most.
 

Losing touch with friends and family back home and re-establishing yourself in a new place can be challenging at the best of times. When life throws you a curveball, it can feel overwhelming.
 

That’s why I offer a sincere, confidential, and compassionate online counselling service for English-speaking clients across France. I’m here to support you through current difficulties and to help you find new ways of approaching ongoing problems.
 

If you’re experiencing any of the following, online counselling with me may help:
 

anxiety – depression – loneliness – bereavement – loss – low self-esteem –  life changes
stress management anger management – communication with others – lack of confidence
relationship issues – sex and sexuality – gender expression – divorce and separation
LGBTQI+ - general dissatisfaction with life – feeling low
 

Living in France as an English speaker can also bring unexpected challenges:
  • adapting to a new country and culture
  • changes to identity through work, family, or community roles
  • relationship strain with partners, friends, or family
  • feeling disconnected - from where you grew up or where you live now
  • struggling with the language, making friends, or finding work
  • regretting the move abroad and wondering “what now?”

In these situations, spending time with an impartial, professional, and supportive therapist can be invaluable. Our sessions will be tailored to your needs. Drawing on my professional and academic experience, I use an integrative approach - combining psychodynamic, person-centred, cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) and mindfulness. Together we can explore past and present relationships and experiences to better understand your current difficulties.
 

Although our sessions take place online, most clients find they quickly feel at ease and appreciate the flexibility. You can choose your preferred mode of communication and change it as your needs evolve.
