I am a fully bilingual clinical psychologist/psychotherapist with 28 years of rich and varied clinical experience within medical settings and mental health services in the UK and France. I provide a wide range of psychological interventions always tailored to a patient's needs. I help patients get their life back on track as I care deeply about their psychological and physical wellbeing. Having a highly sensitive temperament myself, I offer help to those who have identified themselves as highly sensitive and as a result, face issues that are difficult to deal with. My approach, while primarily psychodynamic, includes EMDR, cognitive strategies, schema therapy, mindfulness.

You don’t have to figure it out alone. I offer support to teens, adults, and older adults, whether it’s finding ways to manage overwhelming emotions, building healthier coping strategies, or reconnecting with a sense of purpose, I work to create a space where individuals feel seen, respected, and supported as they move toward the life they want.

The quality of our interpersonal relationships plays a crucial role in our daily well-being and functioning. A sense of belonging within our intimate relationships and community is a fundamental human need. This deep-seated interest has led me to specialize in working with individuals, couples, and families for the past 10 years. Throughout my career, I have developed an open and dynamic understanding of individual, relational, and social issues, which I consider inseparable.

Divorce Counsellors

How does therapy for people affected by a divorce work?

Individuals may feel a number of emotions following a divorce, such as shock, guilt, grief, anger, and fear. Therapists offer a non-judgmental space for individuals to talk about what they’ve experienced and process their emotions. Therapists will help clients develop coping strategies. They can also help a client rebuild their sense of self and self-worth and talk about what a happier future might look like.

What’s the most common type of therapy following a divorce?

There are several types of therapy that may be useful for divorce, including cognitive behavioural, acceptance and commitment, solution-focused brief, and mindfulness-based therapies. Many therapy types are talk-therapy based, which is typically the most popular option for individuals dealing with divorce. Cognitive behavioural therapy is a widely-used talk therapy, however, there’s no specific therapy type that’s designed to help people with divorce, and different types will work depending on the person.

When should an individual seek help due to a divorce?

When the feelings of a divorced individual, or an individual going through the process of divorce, begin to disrupt healthy daily functioning, it may be a good time to look into therapy. If a person finds that they are not performing at work due to problems with anxiety or motivation, if they’re no longer seeing friends due to feelings of shame, or if they’re not properly taking care of themselves as a result of depression, speaking to a professional could help.

How do you encourage someone to go to therapy due to a divorce?

It’s helpful to express concern and love for the individual while framing therapy as a tool for improving their life. Sharing how the individual appears to be suffering, and what effects it has on them or on their children, should be done with compassion and empathy. It may be useful to devise a game plan—breaking the process down into parts, such as finding a therapist, making appointments, and looking into insurance coverage.
