I am a child psychologist, of British and Filipino background, and I work with families and children (aged 12 and under) in the English-speaking community in France. I have specialist experience in the problems faced by expat families, children and adolescents, and treat a range of difficulties, such as emotional awareness and regulation challenges, perfectionism, stress, anxiety, and ADHD.

​

I have a Master’s in Clinical Child and Adolescent Psychology from Utrecht University in the Netherlands, where I graduated cum laude. I also have research experience in topics related to the Internet’s impact on healthy psychological development in children and adolescents, and have presented at the Australian Institute of Criminology Conference (2022).

​

My understanding of the difficulties faced by expat families also comes from my own background, having grown up as a third-culture kid in Australia, Hong Kong, Singapore, the Philippines and the Netherlands. Having experienced a wide array of cultures, communities, and relocations from a young age, I deeply understand both the benefits and challenges that can come with living an expatriate life for young children and families.

​

As a therapist, I work in an integrative manner, and adapt a variety of approaches to the clients’ needs. My practice draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, therapeutic art, and mindfulness-based techniques.

​

I love working with children, and I believe that every child and family is unique and should be supported in a way that is tailored to them. As such, having a compassionate, empathetic, and strength-focused approach is fundamental to my practice. By providing a safe, accepting, and creative space for kids, I can help them rediscover their own strengths and turn scary life transitions into opportunities for growth, empowerment, self-expression and fun.

​

Some of the problems I treat include:​

  • Emotional Awareness and Regulation Difficulties

  • Third-Culture Kid Challenges

  • ADHD

  • Anxiety and Worry

  • Dealing with Parental Separation

  • Perfectionism

  • Behavioural Difficulties

  • Stress

  • Self-Esteem Issues

  • Friendship and Social Challenges

  • Children with Selective-Mutism History

  • Parent and Family Support

  • Adolescent Issues

I offer in-person and online appointments, and also work on Saturdays to make it easier for working families to attend sessions. I look forward to meeting you and your family, and supporting you in your therapeutic journey.
