LGBTQ+ Therapists 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 work with individuals who look capable on the outside but feel overwhelmed, disconnected, or never quite “enough” on the inside. My approach is rooted in one core belief: healing begins when your nervous system feels safe. Many of the struggles my clients carry — anxiety, overachievement, people-pleasing, emotional shutdown, addictive coping — started as intelligent survival responses. Rather than trying to fix you, I help you understand and gently unwind the patterns that once protected you. My work blends trauma-informed hypnotherapy with grounded, compassionate guidance. You remain aware and in control at all times. Together, we work at a pace that respects your body’s wisdom. We focus on rebuilding self-trust, strengthening emotional regulation, and cultivating a sense of inner safety that is not dependent on performance, productivity, or approval. I am especially passionate about supporting those who have spent years proving, holding everything together, or caring for everyone else — while quietly feeling exhausted inside. You do not have to earn rest. You do not have to achieve to be worthy. Healing is not about becoming someone new. It is about returning to yourself. If you are ready to feel steady, supported, and more at home within your own body, I would be honored to walk alongside you. Contact me for a free consultation.

I am passionate about helping people because of my own story of going through hell and back. Over the past 9 years, I have gone from not believing mental health was a thing, to severe burnout due to workplace bullying, then a car accident, to educating myself on mental health to see the light at the end of the tunnel. I now see it as my duty to give back, to help others going through what life throws at them. Because, I swear to you, things can get better. I sincerely believe that we all need counselling at some point (or several points) in our lives. I am here to tell you that you are not alone. I will hold you hand while you are working through whatever is causing you to struggle, and to uncover all these strengths within you that you may not even know you have.

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 psychiatric reimbursement scheme (Mon soutien psy) offers some subsidized access, though private practice remains the dominant route for longer-term psychotherapy in the city.
