I am bilingual in French and English and have
trained and practiced in France and Great Britain. Originally an
actress, I qualified as a Dramatherapist in Great Britain in 1991
and then worked in social services in London for 2 years. I have
been living in France since 1993 and retrained and qualified as a
clinical psychologist in 1997. I initially began the child
psychotherapy training at the Tavistock Clinic in London in 1992,
which I have been continuing to pursue with various modules offered
at the Tavistock modèle France. In 2007, I qualified as an
analytical family therapist. I have been working in child psychiatry
in various institutions for over 20 years and continue practicing at
the Centre Hospitalier de Montfavet, a psychiatric hospital, in the
family therapy unit on a part-time basis.
I work on a freelance basis running training courses, supervising
multidisciplinary teams and individual practitioners. I also run a
private practice.
I see children, adolescents, adults and groups for psychodynamic
psychotherapy. I also offer dramatherapy using various projective
techniques, image work, and role play as alternative forms of
expression. Dramatherapy is the intentional use of drama and theatre
for therapeutic purposes, a creative playful way to explore aspects
of ones’ internal and external world.
I offer 50 minute sessions on a sliding scale (according to means),
often on a weekly or bi-weekly basis. I work according to the ethics
and deontology as defined by the British Association of
Dramatherapists (BADth) and the code of conduct established by the
professional body of clinical psychologists in France.
I offer a confidential space with an approach which seeks to be
non-judgemental, which is open to all who wish to explore their
inner world, their emotions, to acquire further insight and
hopefully gain a greater sense of self.
I also offer individual clinical supervision for health
practitioners.Qualifications
