Therapists that treat Adults in Paris, France

People come to therapy for a number of reasons; you may be experiencing trauma or bereavement, the effects of historical issues, or knock on effects of the pandemic. A lot of people come to therapy because life just feels unmanageable and are struggling with day to day living. You may not know why life currently feels so difficult. Talking with a trained and experienced counsellor can help you accept and move through your issues, give you the tools and understanding to cope better with life's challenges and discover a freedom to live with and beyond the things that are holding you back. Speaking with someone for the first time about personal issues or trauma can feel really daunting. It is important to feel safe and not judged when talking about difficult things, and my aim is for us to develop a relationship where you can explore whatever it is that you need to.

I’ve been in practise since 2016 and feel very blessed having had the opportunity to help so many people on their healing journey. My first focus is always in creating a safe space; one of understanding, compassion and openness. Anyone attending therapy needs to feel safe, secure, and seen and understood by their therapist. Though there’s a lot more that I do in my work with people than above, it’s those foundations - the relationship between therapist and clients - that everything else we do is built from. You will get 100% from me, as well as a dedication to continual learning and exploring, refining already known approaches, as well as adding in new tools and techniques. I know therapy can be a nervous thing to first try, but I’m sure in saying that I will put anyone at ease very quickly, and that anyway that sticks with therapy - and feels safe and heard by myself - will experience change that is hard to almost hard to believe until it starts to happen. I look forward to meeting you

Hello. I am Dr Aneliya Gonsard - clinical psychologist and psychodynamic psychotherapist. I bring with me rich professional experience, encompassing fourteen years of clinical practice in the public, private and charity sectors. I have supported individuals, groups and organisations in various roles - as a psychotherapist, supervisor, trainer and a psychologist in multidisciplinary teams. Currently I work solely in private practice. If we get to meet, you can expect a confidential space where you can bring forward your difficulties, start exploring your experiences and develop, with my support, a deeper understanding of who you are - what holds you back and what drives you forward and towards a more wholesome way of living. You can find our more about me on my professional website: www.thrive.bg/en

I am an international online therapist and believe that change is always possible, no matter your age or stage in life. Mny people I work with come to me feeling stuck, overwhelmed. or ready for something new. but unsure how to move forward. My role is to walk along side you providing cutting edge therapy, practical tools and comapssinate support allowing you to make sense of what is happening and take clear step forward. My approach is rooted in neuroscience which means I focus on how the brain shapes thoughts , behaviours and emotionsand ow it can be gently rewired for lasting change. At hte same time I understand that therapy is deeply personal, and I bring warmth, empathy and respect for your unique journey. Together we will uncover unhelpful patterns, restore balance , and help you reconnect with your best self, being the best youcan.

Whatever your intention for therapy, I promise to work with you compassionately, non-judgementally, to understand and to clear what is getting in the way for you. As a Human Givens therapist, I use a variety of tools to do this. I am additionally trained in IFS, Art Therapy, the Polyvagal theory, Somatic therapies, and the Neuro Affective Relational Model.

Paris has a deep psychoanalytic tradition — rooted in the influence of Lacan and Freud's European legacy — and the city's therapy culture retains a strong psychodynamic orientation, though CBT and integrative approaches have grown substantially in recent decades. The city's high cost of living, intense professional culture, and the particular social pressures of Parisian life contribute to significant demand for therapists addressing anxiety, burnout, and relationship complexity. Paris has large North and West African immigrant communities and a substantial expat population, with demand for both French-speaking and multilingual English-speaking therapists. France's expanded psychology session reimbursement scheme (Mon soutien psy) offers some subsidized access, though private practice remains the dominant route for longer-term psychotherapy in the city.
