English Therapy in France

Meaning-focused therapy for expats 

As an Existential Psychotherapist, I am particularly inspired by helping you define and create meaning in your life.

 

Life transitions--such as relationship breakup, the death of a loved one, retirement, or changing jobs--often make us more aware of our fragility and impermanence as human beings. These transitions are even more complex for expats, who must cope with such changes while also managing the unique difficulties involved with living abroad: language barriers, cultural differences, homesickness, loneliness.

 

These periods of transition might provoke in us feelings of regret or guilt, excitement or motivation. Though these times might be uncomfortable or painful, they're also opportunities for growth; for redefining our course of existence. 

 

My own life, I notice, has been a long thread of transition. Originally from Canada, I have lived in New Zealand, the US, the UK, Morocco, and now France. My experiences living abroad have taught me that moving away from your homeland to a new country brings complex and often conflicting emotions. 

 

As an existential therapist, my job is not to solve your problems or ameliorate your difficulties. Instead, my job is to support you through your experience, and to work with you to determine what it means for you to live a meaningful life in the context of  your difficulties. 

 

This relationship is unique from any relationship you've ever had. Unlike talking with a friend or family member, our conversation is entirely focused on you. Here you are free from judgement, from expectation, from history. Here you can laugh, cry, dream, scream. Here you have the space and time to dwell on the big questions.

 

My great desire is that you will live life with conscience -- a life you are proud of!

"Our lives are one long effort to resist the unknown, the real present in which we live"
- Alan Watts
