The standard fee is approximately AUD $110 for an individual consultation and AUD $180 for a couples consultation.

Reduced fees may be available for students or depending on individual circumstances. This can be discussed before or during the first consultation.

It is impossible to know precisely in advance how long psychotherapy will last, although it is entirely reasonable to ask the question.

Some people come for only a few consultations to work through a specific difficulty or a particular period in their life. Others choose to continue for several months and, in some cases, several years.

The duration depends on each person, the reasons for seeking therapy and what they hope to gain from it. This is something that can be discussed together throughout the course of therapy.

My approach is primarily integrative and is based above all on talking and listening.

I draw on clinical psychology and different psychotherapeutic approaches, adapting the way I work to each person rather than systematically applying the same method to everyone.

The work may focus on current difficulties, but also on personal history, relationships, emotions, or situations that seem to repeat themselves. The aim is to gain a better understanding of what is happening and to help each person find the responses and changes that are right for them.

Yes. Consultations are available both face-to-face in Sydney and online.

Yes. Consultations can be conducted entirely in French or in English.

I work in particular with French and French-speaking people living in Sydney or elsewhere in Australia who would prefer to undertake psychotherapy in their native language.

No. My way of working does not involve remaining silent throughout the session.

Listening is an essential part of psychotherapy, but I also believe in the importance of a genuine exchange between the patient and the clinician. I may ask questions, offer observations, make connections or think things through with you when I feel this may be helpful.

My approach is engaged and collaborative, while still allowing each person enough space to speak freely, reflect, and find the solutions or changes that are right for them.
