The Work
I work with adults who are at a moment of difficulty in their lives — in their relationships, in their sense of themselves, in how they move through the world. The work is unhurried. It asks for honesty from both of us, and it takes time.
01
Individual therapy is the space I offer to one person to think — about what is happening in their life, in their relationships, in themselves — with someone who is genuinely listening, and who will sometimes say things that are not comfortable. The work is not directive. It doesn't move toward a predetermined goal. It moves toward what is actually there.
The approach I use is psychodynamic: it takes seriously the idea that much of what shapes our current experience — the patterns we repeat in relationships, the ways we protect ourselves, the things we cannot quite feel or think — has roots we don't always have conscious access to. Therapy is partly the process of making those roots visible, and partly something that cannot be described in advance, because it depends on who you are.
I work with people navigating relationship difficulties, grief, identity questions, depression, anxiety, burnout, transitions, and the quieter sense that something is not right — the feeling that is harder to name but no less real for that. I also work with people who simply want to understand themselves better, which is a reason that needs no further justification.
Therapy tends to be most useful when it runs long enough for something to actually change — not just to be understood, but to shift in the body, in the patterns, in the texture of daily life. I work open-ended, which means there is no fixed endpoint at the start. Duration is something we discover together.

Couples therapy is not couples mediation, and I am not an arbiter of who is right. What I offer is a third space — a room where both people can speak and be heard, where the patterns between them can become visible, and where the relationship itself can become an object of attention rather than only the medium through which conflict is conducted.
Couples come to therapy for many reasons: an infidelity, a growing distance that neither person knows how to close, an argument that repeats itself in different forms, a transition — a child, a move, a loss — that has altered the emotional landscape in ways they haven't yet mapped. Some come because something has broken. Others come because they can feel something beginning to break and would rather not wait.
The relational approach I use pays attention to what is happening between the two people in the room — not just the content of what they are saying, but the dynamic: who pursues and who withdraws, who speaks first and why, what cannot be said directly, what the argument is really about beneath the argument. These patterns, once visible, can begin to change.
I work with couples of any configuration, at any stage of their relationship — including those who are considering ending it and need a space to think that through together with some honesty and care.
How it works
01
A first message
You write, briefly, what has brought you to this point. You don't need to have the words perfectly organized. What you send is for me to understand whether I might be useful to you, not to assess or qualify you.
02
An initial meeting
We meet once — in person in Paris or by video — to talk. This is not a formal intake. It is a conversation in which we are both deciding whether the working relationship feels right. There is no obligation to continue.
03
A working rhythm
If we decide to work together, we agree a time and a frequency. The sessions run weekly to begin with — regularity matters more than most people expect. The work builds gradually; it rarely announces its progress as it's happening.
Fees
€90–160
Per session · Sliding scale
My fee is between €90 and €160 per session, on a sliding scale. I prefer that money not be the thing that prevents someone from working — and I'd rather discuss it directly than have the question sit unspoken between us. If cost is a concern, say so when you write.
The scale exists because access to this kind of work matters, and because people come to therapy at different financial moments in their lives. You will be trusted to place yourself honestly within the range.
I provide receipts for all sessions. Some complementary health insurance plans in France (mutuelles) cover part of the fee for sessions with a licensed psychologist. It is worth checking your policy.
Sessions are billed at the end of each month. I hold a 48-hour cancellation policy: sessions cancelled with less than 48 hours' notice are charged in full, except in cases of genuine emergency. I hold this policy not as a punitive measure but because the time belongs to you and cannot easily be offered to someone else on short notice.
