Counsellor

Victoria Woollard
Paris, 7^th arrondissement.

English mother tongue clinical psychologist (bilingual French) with a psychoanalytic training and experience of working in UK/French mental health services.

One to one psychotherapy (applied psychoanalysis) for all forms and degrees of psychological suffering. Treatment is individualised as each patient’s difficulties are particular with regards to his personal history and current situation (adults, adolescents and children).

Short and long term treatments are possible. However, in focusing on the particular, the duration of the treatment cannot be standardised or predicted from the outset as each individual has his own time for understanding.

Fees:

Set within the financial means of the individual.
Affordable rates for students.
