• Available for in-person consultations on Wednesdays and Thursdays; available online at other times.

    Clinical psychologist, MSc; former school psychologist.
    Sexologist in training.

  • Originally from Switzerland, but having grown up and evolved in the Indian Ocean, I chose the Lemanic region to study psychopathology and settle there. Having worked in many arenas in psychology, I now dedicate myself to an integrative practice invested with kindness and rationality.

    Particularly interested in issues of neurodivergence (especially attention disorders and/or maladaptive daydreaming), sexology, and unconventional relationship modes (polyamory, open relationships, etc.).

    I work in English, French or Mauritian Creole, I use classic cognitive-behavioural approaches combined with contemporary ACT methodologies.

    “It's the questions we can't answer that teach us the most. They teach us how to think. If you give a man an answer, all he gains is a little fact. But give him a question and he'll look for his own answers.”

Our Mission

We strive to help our clients develop healthy self-esteem and remain authentic and thoughtful in all the situations they may face. Navigating social pressures while allowing our individuality to flourish is one of the great challenges of modern life. Some may push us to adhere strictly to norms, even as our rich inner life seeks to blossom outward — we hope to help people find a balance that works for everyone.

Whether individually or in groups, we seek to find the connections and similarities between people, in order to highlight and strengthen their shared values, while also allowing their differences to become resources within their relationships.

  • Consultant for Dyad+; available for consultation at Centre3.

    Clinical psychologist and sexologist, MSc

  • I am a psychologist and sexologist. My practice is open to individuals of any sexual orientation, gender identity, and to both monogamous and non-monogamous relationships.

    My approach to psycho-sexology is based on inclusivity and an affirmative approach to sexuality. More than diagnoses and symptoms, I prioritize the subjective experience of the person I'm working with. I believe in an individualized approach to therapy that always takes into account the context of the individual/group.

    Evidence-based practice is also very important to me, which is why I try my best to stay up-to-date with the latest scientific knowledge in the fields I work in.

    I provide therapy in Polish, English, or French.
