I am an integrative psychotherapist, trained at the Metanoia Centre in London, and I have been living and working in Paris for the last five years. I have in total about eight years experience working with English-speaking individuals and couples in London and Paris.
My office is a quiet, tranquil environment. During our therapy sessions, we sit facing each other and talk. I endeavour at all times to be polite and respectful in all interactions. I do not use any props or techniques such as hypnosis. Our sessions are fully confidential, which means that I don't talk to anyone else about them, except possibly a supervisor who I talk to regularly to aid my own development as a therapist. This supervisor is a more senior therapist who is also bound by confidentiality. I do not give my supervisor details which would enable her to identify any of my clients.

Integrative Psychotherapy is a relatively new philosophy within psychotherapy which brings together ideas from many different schools. I chose to study integrative psychotherapy because I believe it enables the therapist to draw on their own life-experience as well as their theoretical learning. In my work, I often apply ideas from Person-Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Existential Therapy and Gestalt Therapy. I am less drawn to the more psychodynamic approaches such as psychoanalysis. I believe that psychotherapy can be an effective tool for learning, enabling the client to understand themselves better and to overcome habits of thought and behaviour which bring them unhappiness or anxiety.

Please note that although I speak intermediate level French, I only conduct therapy sessions in English.

Making An Appointment
The best way to set up an appointment is by telephoning me at the above number. I will need to ask a few simple questions about your background and your reasons for seeking therapy, so make sure you have at least ten minutes to spare, and you are somewhere where you can speak freely without being disturbed. I offer a free inital assessment appointment (about 1 hour). Subsequent appointments cost 60 euros per hour (individual) and 80 euros per hour (couples).
Please note that I am a psychotherapist (or therapist, or counsellor, if you prefer). This means that I am trained in helping people to live better and overcome personal and emotional difficulties through talking and exploration. I am not a psychiatrist (that is, I do not have a medical qualification and I cannot prescribe medication).

Since I am not a medical doctor, my services are not reimbursed by the Securitée Social, but it is possible that certain American or British medical insurance policies offer reimbursement.

How to Find Me
My office is at 44 rue de Varenne, Paris 75007 (CLICK HERE ) The nearest metro stations are rue du Bac (line 12) and Sèvres-Babylone (lines 12 and 10). Both of these stations are about five minutes walk away. In order to find my office, you will also need to know the door code, and the location of my office within the building. I can give you this information when we make an appointment.

Please note that my office is on the first floor, and there is no elevator, so wheelchair access is unfortunately not possible.
