About me

Clinical psychologist with an analytical orientation

I hold a professional Master's degree in clinical and pathological psychology from the University of Nantes (2009). This state diploma, which confers the legally protected title of psychologist in France, is registered in the ADELI directory under number 44 93 08923 (RPPS 10009454637).

Because a psychologist's training cannot stop at holding a diploma, it calls for ongoing research, writing and personal analysis, which I pursue within the Association de la Cause Freudienne.

A case-by-case practice, centred on speech

I offer therapy with an analytical orientation. It is a case-by-case practice built around one precious object: speech. The therapy evolves according to your desire and your needs; everything that is felt, experienced or thought can be said, and finally take on meaning.

By coming to speak about your fears, your anxieties, your difficulties in living, a shift can occur: a step aside that allows a sense of well-being to emerge.

Over the sessions, you will be able to put words on what you desire, and to name what causes suffering in order to act on it.

I have been seeing English-speaking patients for many years: sessions can be conducted entirely in English.

Who is it for?

Children, adolescents and adults

The setting is the same for everyone: a space for speech, a rhythm to build together. The content takes shape session after session.

  • Children

    A setting adapted to the youngest, where play and speech meet. Appointments with the parents whenever possible.

  • Adolescents

    A space of their own, separate from the family, to talk about what has no place elsewhere. Confidentiality guaranteed.

  • Adults

    To put words on what weighs on you, what keeps coming back, what causes suffering. We move at your pace, on what you choose to address.
