Chartered Psychologist
CBT & ACT Therapist
CBT and ACT therapy in English and French, in Brighton & Hove and online
I am a chartered psychologist offering short and long-term support for adolescents (16+) and adults — in person in Hove and Brighton, East Sussex, and online for French speakers and expatriates wherever they live.
My practice is grounded in evidence-based approaches: Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), alongside mindfulness and skills drawn from Dialectical Behaviour Therapy.
As a French clinical psychologist, I lived for several years in the United States and Canada, and practised in Singapore, before settling in the UK. I draw on that experience to offer compassionate, personalised support that respects your identity and your life journey.
I also provide CBT supervision for therapists and trainees, as an AFTCC-certified supervisor.

Experience
I have over 12 years of experience in public and private health sectors across France, Singapore, and the UK, supporting clients of all ages with a wide range of difficulties. My background includes conducting assessments for severe psychiatric disorders in hospital psychiatric departments and designing interventions for children and adolescents with developmental challenges.
In private practice, I work with clients struggling with anxiety, depression, grief, relational difficulties, low self-esteem, and identity questions. I practice in French and English, supporting people from diverse cultural backgrounds.
Since moving to Brighton in 2023, I see clients in person at Brighton and Hove Psychotherapy and continue to offer online consultations across Europe and Asia via The Other Clinic.
