I am a counselling psychologist and psychotherapist in Cork. I come from a multicultural background. I lived in North Africa until my twenties, studied psychology in France and worked there as a counsellor for 15 years. I settled in Cork in 2016 after numerous visits and travels in Ireland.
I’ve always been interested in how people’s well-being can be affected by their thoughts and experiences. After experiencing the dangers of civil war and repression, I learned that safety allows rich and peaceful fulfilment, and this is what I want to promote in my commitment.
I currently work as psychologist & psychotherapist at Victoria Cross Therapy Rooms in Cork. I provide psychotherapy and counselling in French and English.
Having supported many expats, the pandemics period confirmed that my choice to settle and develop my work in Cork was pertinent. I am proud to say I am the expat psychologist and psychotherapist for expats!
During my career, I have worked with people from many different social and cultural backgrounds. As well as my master’s degree, I undertook seminars and private courses to enhance my knowledge.
I’m inspired by integrative, social, existential, cross-cultural, behavioural and positive psychology
These approaches taught me to have a multidimensional conception of people while focussing on the present.
The experience of living can imply a lack of self-esteem and confidence. We may experience depression, anxiety, conflicts, separation and loss, mourning, moving, accidents, decision making, mental and emotional exhaustion, hypersensitivity, addictions, obsessions, violence…etc… There is a common element to these human hardships: the change they demand from us.
