Person-Centered Therapy (Rogerian) 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 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.

I specialize in walking alongside those who have experienced trauma in its many forms — from childhood experiences to sexual abuse and beyond. Together, we explore how these events have shaped your life and begin the work of healing. Many of my clients come to me with difficulties in relationships, anxiety, sleeplessness, or physical symptoms rooted in stress and trauma. My role is to provide a safe, discreet space for you to process, find clarity, and move forward with greater ease.

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.
