About me
"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. I also co-facilitate monthly integration circles — learn more at www.integrationcircle.online

Approach
How I Work My integrative approach draws on Relational, Person-Centred, Trauma-Informed, and Somatic methods, tailored to each individual or couple. Therapy is collaborative and client-led — you bring what matters most, and we explore it together. I work from the belief that you are the expert in your own life, and my role is to support you in developing greater awareness, confidence, and understanding of yourself and your relationships.
First Session The initial session is an opportunity to meet, discuss what brings you to therapy, and determine if we are a good fit. I'll explain how I work, answer your questions, and begin understanding your goals. I also offer a free 20-minute introductory call to explore whether working together feels right.
Fees & Insurance Individual sessions: €100–120 per 50 minutes Couples sessions: €150 per 75 minutes Reduced rates available for students or those on lower income.
