About

Having graduated with a Masters degree in Human sciences from Cambridge University, and completing a PhD at Université Paris II on the subject of how we build our multifaceted identities through our origins, distinctive histories, and the communities to which we belong, I was recruited by Sciences Po, in Paris as of 2003 to lecture in Human sciences. In  my work that spanned over fifteen years, I engaged with students of all backgrounds and nationalities through courses I developed on identity and social psychology, exploring how gender, race and culture shape us and what it takes to navigate those aspects without losing ourselves in the processs. I was also hired by international organisations, including the W.A.O.H (World organistion on animal health) and Messika amongst others to design and conduct coaching programmes on building emotional and cross-cultural intelligence, conflict management and communication.

As of 2012, this rich experience working both with students and within international organisations fuelled in me the decision to further my understanding of the human psyche, first through coaching then through psychotherapy. I completed training in psychotherapy at Savoir Psy, a school in Paris that is affiliated with the French federation of Psychotherapy and Psychoanalysis. I also completed a D.U (diplôme universitaire) at the Université Paris Cité on Kleinian Psychoanalysis.

My clinical training in psychodrama, working with patients undergoing psychiatric care at the FSEF hospital (Fondation de santé des étudiants de France) enabled me to see firsthand how creative techniques can help people explore and better understand their past, present and how they want to move forward.
