THE APPROACH

Psychotherapy is not a solution. It is a sustained attention to what forms us, to what holds us, to what we have not yet allowed ourselves to understand.

Psychotherapy in Paris & online

Individual and couples work, in English, French, and Greek.

SERVICES

Individual Psychotherapy

One-to-one psychodynamic work for adults navigating complexity, loss, relational difficulty, or the quiet sense that something is no longer working.

Couples Counselling

Relational work with couples — attending to what each person carries and what the relationship has become, in English and French.

English-Speaking & Expat Clients

For those living in Paris who prefer to work in English, or for international clients online. Cultural complexity is taken seriously.

Relational Integrity

FRAMEWORK

Developed through clinical practice and psychoanalytic thought. Six pillars describing what it means to remain present in a relationship — without collapsing into rescue or withdrawal.


Symbolic Honesty

Speaking the truth of inner experience in ways that invite connection


Narrative Integrity

Holding our stories lightly, open to revision


Secure Ambivalence

Holding contradictory feelings without premature resolution


Emotional Responsibility

Owning what is ours without projecting onto others


Presence Without Rescue

Being with rather than fixing


Symbolic Pacing

Honouring the organic rhythm of relational change

FROM THE ESSAYS

Staying With

LOVE & LOSS

When Love Doesn't Sound Like Love

The ways we speak love that the other cannot hear — and what it means to stay with the failure of translation.


READ ESSAY ➔

GRIEF

Letters After the End

What we write after a relationship ends — to ourselves, to the other, to no one in particular.


READ ESSAY ➔

CLINICAL

The Untimeliness of Love

On love that arrives at the wrong moment — and the difficulty of staying with what cannot yet be resolved.


READ ESSAY ➔

The consulting room is not a neutral space. It is a site of encounter — one in which both people are changed by what takes place between them.
