Viviane Talkeu

"We often carry more than one culture, more than one story, and more than one Self." Many of the people I work with are navigating life between cultures — expats, mixed-heritage individuals, and internationally mobile professionals exploring identity, belonging, and life transitions. I also work with individuals and couples experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, burnout, and significant life changes. I offer a warm, reflective, and non-judgmental space where you can explore whatever brings you to therapy, at your own pace. Sessions are available in English, French, German, Serbian, and Spanish. I am a UKCP-accredited and BACP-registered Integrative Psychotherapist working with individuals, couples and groups, online internationally, in person in London (Harley Street and Shoreditch), and periodically in Berlin. Individual Therapy I offer short-term therapy (up to 12 sessions) and open-ended work. I work with a wide range of concerns, including: - Stress, anxiety, and overwhelm - Depression and low mood - Loneliness and isolation - Anger and anger management - Loss and bereavement - Relationship difficulties - Challenges adjusting to a new country or returning home - Exploration of cultural heritage and identity - Childhood or adult trauma - Family challenges, separation, or divorce - Social anxiety - Work stress and burnout - Low confidence or self-esteem - Life transitions, including becoming a parent - Existential concerns and personal development - Psychedelic preparation and integration Expat & Multicultural Clients With Eastern European and West African heritage, I grew up as a mixed-heritage, third-culture individual across France and Germany before moving to the UK. I understand the emotional complexity of building a life in a new culture — the excitement, uncertainty, loneliness, and gradual process of finding belonging. I work with: - Expats, migrants, and internationally mobile professionals navigating cultural adjustment - Mixed-heritage and third-culture individuals exploring identity and belonging - Multicultural couples navigating differences in language, values, and cultural expectations Couples Therapy I offer couples therapy from an attachment-based perspective, helping partners explore patterns of communication and emotional dynamics. The aim is to foster understanding and create new ways of relating, without assigning blame. Group Therapy I offer group therapy in selected settings, providing a supportive space where shared experience and collective reflection can be deeply therapeutic. Please get in touch for current group availability. Psychedelic Preparation & Integration I support clients before and after psychedelic experiences, ensuring they are approached safely, intentionally, and meaningfully.
