You are professionally capable and privately running on empty. You might be neurodivergent, navigating a world that was not built for your brain. You might be LGBTQIA+, still carrying the quiet cost of years spent not quite fitting. You might be a French expat, perfectly fluent and somehow still lost in translation. Or you might be in a relationship that used to feel like home and now feels like a negotiation. You are done performing. You are done being the version of yourself that everyone else finds easier. You are here because something has to change.
I work bilingually, in English and French, using Gottman-method couples therapy and neuroqueer-affirming individual work. Sessions are not about fixing you. They are about finding you. We move at your pace, in a safe space with everything you bring until the life you stopped allowing yourself to want starts to feel genuinely possible.
I counselled & coached for several years in the voluntary sector, for a large health organisation & in private practice. I know that picking up the phone is often the hardest part. You took this step, so you're already on your way. You do not need to have it all figured out. A brief call is enough to find out if this is where you belong

I work with individuals and couples. My approach blends person-centered therapy with tools from compassion focussed therapy, mindfulness, life coaching, CBT, IFS, Attachment-based and the Gottman method. I offer empathy and gentle challenge. At first we explore what brings you to therapy, your coping mechanisms, and then decide the most appropriate ways to help you make progress.
