Overview
I was born in Germany, grew up in the south of France and qualified as a clinical psychologist in Britain. Following my school education at international schools in France and Germany, I moved to the UK to do a 4-year undergraduate Masters degree at the University of Manchester (MPsy), which included spending the 3rd year at the Université du Mirail in Toulouse. After 2 years gaining experience as an assistant psychologist in the NHS as well as in the independent sector, I enrolled in the 3-year Oxford Doctoral Course in Clinical Psychology (DClinPsych), validated by the University of Oxford and funded by the NHS, which I completed in 2006. I started my career as a fully qualified psychologist at the Tavistock Centre, where I supplemented my education with a Postgraduate Certificate in Applied Systemic Theory. I trained in EMDR at the Institut Français d’EMDR through 2017 to 2019.
