Couples Therapy in Paris | English-Speaking Couples Therapist

Relationships & Couples Therapy

Relationships naturally go through periods of tension, distance or uncertainty. Behind recurring conflicts, communication difficulties or misunderstandings, there is often a deeper need for emotional safety, recognition, connection and the desire to feel truly reached by the other.

Couples therapy offers a space to slow down, better understand the relational dynamics that keep repeating within the relationship, and find a more conscious and authentic way of being together.

I work with couples facing:

recurring conflicts or communication difficulties
emotional or affective distance
intimacy or sexuality-related difficulties
trust issues, jealousy or infidelity
important life transitions
cultural, family or relational differences
painful relational patterns that keep repeating

My approach

My work is inspired in particular by the relational approaches developed by Esther Perel and by John Gottman’s research on couple dynamics.

I pay close attention to the way partners interact emotionally: communication patterns, protective reactions, attachment needs, relational wounds, and the tensions between safety, autonomy and desire.

The goal is not to identify who is right or wrong, but to better understand what is happening between you in order to restore dialogue, emotional safety and connection.

This approach can help you:

move beyond cycles of criticism, defensiveness or blame
express needs and emotions more openly
develop calmer and more constructive communication
rebuild trust and intimacy
reconnect with a more alive and authentic relationship.

How do sessions work?

Sessions take place in a confidential, respectful and non-judgmental setting.

I strive to create a space where each partner can feel heard without being interrupted, blamed or invalidated. The therapeutic work may include emotional exploration, clarification of relational needs and observation of the patterns developing within the relationship.

Some sessions may also include attention to bodily and emotional awareness in order to help each partner better recognize their reactions and develop greater emotional regulation within the relationship.

“Therapy helped us better understand our relational patterns and what kept repeating in our interactions. We were able to rediscover more listening, dialogue, and safety within the relationship. This work helped us move beyond certain emotional blocks and reconnect in a more authentic way.”
