About me
I’m a Franco-British psychoanalyst. I completed my academic training in the United Kingdom and my clinical training in France. I work in both English and French.

Psychoanalysis
Psychoanalysis is a form of talking therapy that explores how we think, feel and relate to others. A psychoanalytic consultation provides a space where you can openly express what’s on your mind, allowing thoughts and experiences to emerge without the need to organise, justify or censor them. Together, we will explore issues such as recurring difficulties, patterns of thought, and relationships with others over time, enabling you to develop your own responses. Each analysis is unique, and develops at its own pace, guided by the questions, experiences and associations that emerge through our discussions.

People come to psychoanalysis for many different reasons: anxiety, depression, bereavement, relationship difficulties, questions of identity, challenges of living in a different cultural or linguistic environment, or simply a sense that something in life has become difficult to understand or that certain patterns seem to be repeating themselves.

The first consultation
The initial consultation is free of charge. It’s an opportunity for us to meet, discuss what has brought you to consider therapy, and see whether working together feels suitable. This is also an opportunity to discuss fees, frequency of sessions and any other questions you may have.

The setting
I work with adults. I offer sessions online with Google Meet, Jitsi, Teams.
