How I Work
I work in French and English. My approach is active and engaged. I stay closely involved in what you bring to our sessions, and I'll often point out patterns or habits I notice happening in the room, in real time, not to catch you out, but because change is easier to see, and to shift, when it's happening right in front of us.
I'll sometimes challenge the way you're thinking about something because real change usually asks for a different angle, not just more of the same thinking. People tend to describe me as warm and direct: I care about you having an honest reflection back, not just a comfortable one.
Alongside the analytical work, I make space for humour and lightness. Therapy can hold a lot, but it's also here to remind us of our own vitality, and our capacity for joy and connection.

About me
I'm a UKCP-registered psychotherapist based in London, though my journey here started in France, where I grew up before moving to the UK in my twenties.
For two decades, I worked in the corporate world, holding senior roles in change management and transformation. It was a demanding, intellectually engaging work and it was also where I first came face to face with how much our patterns, defences and blind spots shape the choices we make, often without our realising it.
Alongside that career, I trained as a psychotherapist. My own experience of therapy was transformational: it opened up possibilities, options and choices I hadn't known were available to me. That experience is a large part of why I do this work now as I've seen first-hand what becomes possible when someone has the right kind of support to look honestly at their life.
Can AI ever replace psychotherapy?
Of course using AI for your mental health can make sense. That accessibility has real value, especially at 3 am when something is weighing on you and there is no one to talk to.
But an AI cannot actually be in the room with you. It doesn’t read your tone of voice, your body language, or even the silence; it doesn’t notice your hesitations, the wince, the tears in your eyes. It has no lived relationship with you over time and no accountability if something goes wrong. I bring trained attunement, professional ethics, and a real relational presence that is built and tested session after session, which is precisely what makes deep, lasting repair possible.
So, it is not really either-or. AI can support reflection and access between sessions; a psychotherapist does the relational work that actually changes your relationship with yourself and others. Used well, the first can prepare the ground; the second is where the real work happens.
