Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) Therapists in Paris, France

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

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.

Available worldwide — What makes my therapy practice great is the balance between depth and accessibility. I integrate contemporary, evidence-based approaches with a reflective, holistic understanding of the person. My work is grounded in compassion, cultural sensitivity, and the belief that real change happens through awareness and emotional connection. I create a space where clients can explore all parts of themselves safely and without judgment — helping them move toward clarity, integration, and a more authentic sense of self.

I am a psychologist that is passionate about all of us living the fully awake and vibrant lives we are meant to. Sometimes this involves healing from the past, other times it means working towards visioning and creating the future, oftentimes both. It generally involves some insight but also a good dose of experiential tools and learning about your central nervous system and how to both understand and work with it, what we call both top down and bottom up tools. Ready for real change and willing to do the work? (yep it is work but well worth it) Let's go.

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.
