I am a Clinical and Cognitive Psychologist-Psychotherapist, specialised in Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and EMDR for trauma/ PTSD. I studied and obtained my degrees and training in Psychology in Canada (McGill University) and in France (Université Lyon 2, Université Paris 5 & EHESS), and established a private practice in Paris in 2008, providing therapy for a range of issues to the international (expats, students, immigrants) and local communities.

I now provide psychotherapy online and in Malaga (in the downtown Soho district) in English, French and Spanish to adults.

Types of Therapy

  • Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy (CBT) : These therapies have been studied and evaluated over time and have proven their efficacy for a wide-range of psychological and social problems. Treatment tends to be rather short-term (a few months to one or two years depending on the problem(s)) and improvement can generally be noted after only a few sessions. Therapy is interactive and based on collaboration between therapist and client. I also use other approaches stemming from CBT such as Schema Therapy, Mindfulness and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT).

  • I am a member of AFTCC: Association Française de Thérapie Comportementale et Cognitive: (French CBT association).

  • EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing): This effective and validated approach was originally developed to treat post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) following stressful and often life-threatening events such as accidents, natural disasters or intentional violence. Today this therapy can be extended to other situations, such as early verbal/ psychological abuse by parents or peers, that may nonetheless be just as psychologically harmful, and often linked to limiting behaviours, phobias, panic attacks, confidence and self-esteem issues.
