Chloé

Based in Paris, I work primarily with English-speaking expats across the globe who are navigating emotional distress, major life transitions, or complex trauma. Although born in this city, I’ve moved between countries and continents throughout my life. As a result, I deeply understand the unique stressors that come with living abroad—and how they can amplify preexisting challenges or generate new ones, particularly around identity, belonging, and relational dynamics.

I hold an MSc in Counseling & Psychotherapy from the University of Edinburgh, where I trained in both psychodynamic and person-centered theories. I’ve since completed additional training in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), trauma-informed care, and crisis intervention. My clinical experience includes working in private psychiatric settings as well as with the United Nations, where I supported and advocated for survivors of violent trauma.

Today, my private practice focuses on helping expats struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, disordered eating, and symptoms of PTSD or complex trauma. My approach is integrative and collaborative—I tailor our work together to suit your specific needs, drawing from EMDR, psychodynamic theory, somatic awareness, and attachment-based models. For many clients, I blend talk therapy with EMDR and resourcing work to create deeper nervous system regulation and a sense of safety.

On a more personal note: when describing therapy to others, I often say that it’s two wounded humans talking—except one has been there before and can serve as a compass. Like many of us in this field, I was drawn to psychotherapy by my own healing journey. It’s through facing my pain that I learned how to make meaning of it. And I’ve seen firsthand the ripple effect of what happens when we feel safe enough to be witnessed in our truth.

If you’re in the deep end of the pool right now, I’d be honored to accompany you—and help you find your way to shore.
