I am a certified psychotherapist and coach. I work in London but have patients all over the world.
I have created a hybrid approach between coaching and psychotherapy. By taking the best of both worlds I see real results in my patients.
My work is “tailor-made” and evolves according to my patients, their goals, their environment and their history.

Profile

I made my reputation in London by working primarily with French people from the world of finance. It’s a world I know very well because I worked there for a good dozen years. My career change was driven by my passion for people.
I work with my patients on a variety of issues: finding a work-life balance, loss of self-confidence, stress, burnout, managing emotions (…).
I explore with them the origins of these situations. I like to put a cognitive spin on the sessions, to put words to the problems.
Over time, I incorporate coaching tools to help my patients move forward.
I also work with couples.
For several years now, I’ve also been working with parents who find themselves at a loss when faced with diagnosis of cognitive disorders in their children.
Very few of them take the time to deal with their marital relationship and their personal feelings at the same time.
This can lead to some distension within the couple.

I’m delighted to be joining the clinic’s Mental Health team. I love working in a collaborative environment and anything that can bring peace to my patients’ minds.
