It is normal in our lives to feel tired, overwhelmed, exhausted, angry, sad or disappointed. It can happen that we don't see the meaning of our life, that we don't know where we are going or why things are happening to us. It is normal and healthy to go through moments when we stop and question who we are and who we want to become. But there are times when we don't have the tools, the energy to make a change in our lives, or we simply don't know how to do it. That's when I recommend asking for help, using psychology as another tool in our favour to become who we want to be.

The approach I take with my patients varies from one patient to another. Like a "modiste" I "tailor" my sessions, creating a personalised therapeutic plan for each patient.

I believe in educating the population with evidence based practices while maintaining a close, personal, confidential and safe-space relationship. Some of the most useful tools I use include: semi-structured interviews and functional analysis.

I specialize in difficulties with emotion regulation, interpersonal relationships, and the relationship with oneself. I help my clients get in touch with their inner child, learn how to listen to their emotions, validate them, and autoregulate in a safe, healthy way. I also help them with escaping vicious circles. To do so, we work together on the problematic behaviors and beliefs relying on openness, kindness, and lack of judgment. I am sensitive to difficulties encountered by sexual minorities LGBTQ+, neurodivergent adults and expats.

Is online therapy a good option?
Therapy conducted online or over the phone can be just as effective as in-person therapy, as long as there is a strong alliance between the client and the therapist. To find a therapist who provides telehealth services to clients in your area, click “Online Therapy” on the directory homepage and search by your city or town or your postcode.
What’s the difference between a psychologist, a therapist, and a counsellor?
Therapists, psychologists, and counsellors are all licensed mental health professionals. In many countries, psychologists have earned a doctoral degree. The terms “therapist” and “counsellor” are used somewhat interchangeably, but generally therapists offer longer-term, mental health care, while counsellors offer shorter-term care that may focus on one domain, such as marriage, career, or academic challenges.
What type of therapist is right for me?
Clients should consider factors such as insurance coverage and their primary reason(s) for seeking therapy to determine the type of professional best suited to their needs. Someone struggling with mental health challenges such as depression or anxiety, for example, may wish to seek out a clinical psychologist or therapist, while someone navigating career obstacles or marital upheaval may benefit from seeing a counsellor who can offer short-term, targeted support.
Is everyone in the Psychology Today Therapy Directory a licensed therapist?
The Psychology Today directory lists providers who offer legitimate mental health services to the public, including psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, and counselors. Many have been licensed by the country where they practice; providers whose license or primary credential has been verified by Psychology Today are signified by a “Verified” symbol. Some clinicians or organizations provide services for which their state or country does not offer licenses, such as pastoral counselling. They may be selectively included without the “Verified” seal.
What type of therapy is right for me?
The type of therapy best suited to a particular individual depends on several factors, including their primary reason for seeking therapy, their preferred timeline (some therapy types last for a set number of sessions, while others are open-ended), and their personality and preferences—some may prefer a more structured approach. For many individuals, multiple types of therapy could provide a good fit.
Is online therapy cheaper than in-person therapy?
Many therapists charge the same amount for online therapy as they do for in-person therapy—though clients may still find this cost-effective if it cuts down on their transportation costs. Health insurance plans often offer equivalent coverage for online and in-person therapy; indeed, in many places, they are legally required to do so. Text-based or on-demand therapy apps may be cheaper than traditional one-on-one psychotherapy; however, the practice may be less effective and is not likely to be covered by insurance.
