My Approach to Therapy
Life can sometimes feel overwhelming, unexpectedly challenging, leaving you feel stuck and wanting things to be different. Many people experience anxiety, stress, uncertainty or emotional difficulties at different stages of life and sometimes you may simply feel that something isn’t working. I offer a warm, empathetic and confidential space where we can work together to better understand your thoughts, emotions and experiences.
​
I am an English-speaking integrative therapist based in Paris 75016, providing in-person therapy as well as online therapy sessions for clients locally and internationally. My aim is to support you in developing self-awareness, emotional resilience and new perspectives so that you can navigate life with greater clarity, confidence and a stronger sense of direction.
​
I work with a wide range of concerns from everyday stress, anxiety and relationship difficulties to deeper emotional struggles and past trauma. Therapy is always personalised to your individual needs, pace and goals. Whether you are going through a life transition, adjusting to living in a new country, questioning identity, or simply feel ready for change, our sessions provide a supportive environment to explore what matters most to you.
​
My therapeutic style is collaborative and integrative. I draw from evidence based approaches including person-centred therapy, humanistic, psychodynamic perspectives and cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT). Together we explore both past and present experiences, helping you gain insight, develop healthier coping strategies and move forward in a way that feels authentic and meaningful.

Client Testimonials
"Working with Larissa has been a transformative experience. She is not only an astute listener, but also lighthearted and approachable, which made each session feel like a safe space for me to explore my thoughts and emotions. Larissa has a unique ability to meet me exactly where I am each week, adapting her approach to my evolving needs as I continue to grow. Thanks to her support, I feel more self-assured and grounded on my life’s journey than I have in a long time. I am grateful for her responsiveness, care, and wisdom, which have helped me become more confident and at peace with myself."
My Background
I am originally from Ireland and trained as a counsellor and psychotherapist there. I completed a Master of Arts in Counselling and Psychotherapy Practice at Bath Spa University in the U.K. My research explored the experience of living and working abroad through a psychotherapeutic lens. I examined the emotional and psychological challenges individuals face when relocating to a new country, as well as the strategies and inner resources that support adaptation and well-being during this transition. I completed a Bachelor of Arts (Hons) in Counselling and Psychotherapy at Dublin Business school in 2008.
​
I am living in France since 2011. I understand the difficulties of moving to a country with a different culture and language. I have also lived in Australia and America. ​
​
While living in France I have worked as an early year's teacher at a school. I have completed a Diploma in Early Years Educator. ​
​
My own life experiences have included loss and many challenges. I believe that in life, challenges may arise, but we can live with the experience and learn from it. Everyone has a fundamental drive towards growth. ​
​
I facilitate a monthly group for Message Paris members. This peer support group supports mothers from those who are expecting to those who have small and more grown-up children. Parenting can make us feel stressed, low in mood and anxious which in turn can make parenting difficult. ​
​
Members of Message Paris can access this peer support group by checking on their web site for dates. This group is facilitated by myself and my colleague Sophie Wallace-Hadrill.​
​
I am a registered member of the British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists (BACP) and practice from France. I provide therapy in person in Paris 75016 and online counselling sessions to clients in various countries. I hold worldwide professional indemnity insurance. I follow the BACP code of ethics (www.bacp.co.uk).
​
I continue to study and to keep up to date with new approaches and techniques so that I can provide a supportive and informative service to my clients.
