My practice

My clinic is centrally located in the 16th arrondissement of Paris
Reasons to consult include but are not limited to:
  • Emotional difficulties, emotion regulation and hypersensitivity
  • Behavioural difficulties, aggression and isolation
  • Social difficulties, conflicts and contact
  • Scholarly difficulties, learning difficulties and motivation
  • Self confidence and self esteem
  • Difficulty concentrating, ADHD
  • Anxiety and stress
  • Depression
  • Phobias

My office hours are Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday from 9.30am to 7.30pm 

I speak English, Finnish, Swedish and French fluently and can provide therapy in all four languages.  All documentation is provided in either English or French to facilitate sharing with entities such as schools, other practitioners or governments. 

I work with children and adolescents from 3 to 18 years of age. 

I see a wide range of clients with emotional, social or academic difficulties, as well as individuals who just wish to have an external confidant to help them talk through experiences.

I believe in a tailored approach and use integrative psychology to create a therapeutic plan specific to each individual and their situation. I work a lot through child-focused play therapy, art therapy, emotionally focused therapy and cognitive behavioural therapy, whilst integrating mindfulness practices.

I recommend beginning with an initial period of 8-10 weekly sessions in order to build a strong therapeutic relationship, necessary for valid progress. After these sessions we can re-evaluate the individual needs and adjust the frequency of sessions accordingly.
