I am a psychotherapist, supervisor and facilitator with over 30 years of experience in addiction and developmental trauma. My work is grounded, relational and deeply human, shaped by decades of clinical practice and a continued curiosity about what truly supports change and healing.
I work with individuals and couples, both online and in person, offering a space where people can explore themselves at depth and at their own pace. My approach is integrative, informed in particular by the NeuroAffective Relational Model (NARM®), and rooted in an understanding of developmental trauma and relational patterns.
Over the years, I have been particularly engaged in supporting clients living with complex trauma (C-PTSD). This continues to guide my interest in approaches that support deeper integration and lasting change.

In this context, I also offer psychedelic preparation and integration support, grounded in a relational and trauma-informed approach. I have completed training in MDMA-assisted therapy with MAPS (Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies), a leading organisation in the development of psychedelic-assisted therapies.
This work supports clients in making sense of non-ordinary experiences—whether meaningful, challenging or disorienting—and integrating them into sustainable change in everyday life.
I work fluently in both French and English and support an international client base.
I hold a Master’s degree in Addiction Psychology and Counselling from London South Bank University and am a registered member of the BACP. Registered Number 16397.
People are not methods. Healing is not a checklist. And presence is not performance.
At the heart of my work is a simple orientation: to meet you where you are, with honesty, warmth, and a quality of presence that allows something real to unfold.

She raises the right questions, sees beyond the surface, and has helped me create a fundamental shift in how I relate to myself and others. I feel like a new person in my relationships—with my family, my colleagues, and most importantly, with myself."
“I have known Barbara (B) for over ten years and consider her a major influence in my life. She brings both depth and lightness to relationships and truly meets you where you are. Her integrity is embodied rather than stated, and her presence is grounded in humility and openness.”
“I've especially valued her gently boundaried warmth—how she holds space for exploration with care. Her commitment to ongoing personal development and her willingness to challenge convention show just how seriously she takes this work. Barbara brings the skill, experience, and empathy needed to guide transformative experiences in a safe and effective way. I feel fortunate to know her.”
“Our chats have become a must-have in my hectic and busy life. They've guided me in setting priorities, enjoying what I do, and relating differently to those I care about. People around me have noticed the change—but above all, I feel different. And so much better.”
“Barbara's (B's) support is precious and unique. I hope she always finds time to share this gift— because the world truly needs more people like her.”
