“We often carry more than one culture, more than one story, and more than one Self.” Many of the people I work with are navigating life between cultures — expats, mixed-heritage individuals, and internationally mobile professionals exploring identity, belonging, and life transitions. I also work with individuals and couples facing anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship difficulties, burnout, and significant life changes. I offer a warm, reflective and non-judgmental space where you can explore whatever brings you to therapy, at your own pace. How Can I Help? I offer short-term (up to 12 sessions) and open-ended therapy. People come to me with: • Stress, anxiety, and overwhelm • Depression and low mood • Loneliness and isolation • Anger and anger management • Loss and bereavement • Relationship difficulties (personal, work, or with yourself) • Challenges adjusting to a new country or returning home • Exploration of cultural heritage and identity • Childhood or adult trauma • Family challenges • Separation and divorce • Social anxiety and feelings of inadequacy • Work stress and burnout • Low confidence or self-esteem • Life transitions, such as becoming a parent • Existential concerns and personal development • Psychedelic preparation and integration Viviane Talkeu Integrative Psychotherapist and Counsellor (UKCP accred., MBACP reg.)

Therapy is collaborative and client-led — you bring what matters most, and we explore it together. I work from the belief that you are the expert in your own life, and my role is to support you in developing greater awareness, confidence, and understanding of yourself and your relationships. Expat and Multicultural Clients With Eastern European and West African heritage, I grew up as a mixed-heritage, third-culture individual across France and Germany before moving to the UK. Having lived in several countries myself, I understand the emotional complexity of building a life in a new culture — the excitement, the uncertainty, the loneliness, and the gradual process of finding belonging. I work with expats, migrants, and internationally mobile professionals navigating cultural adjustment, as well as mixed-heritage and third-culture individuals exploring identity and belonging. I also work with multicultural couples navigating differences in language, values, and cultural expectations. Sessions can take place in English, French, German, Serbian or Spanish. Couples Therapy I offer couples therapy from an attachment-based perspective, helping partners explore patterns of communication and emotional dynamics within the relationship. The aim is not to assign blame, but to foster understanding and create new ways of relating to one another. Psychedelic Preparation & Integration I offer individual psychedelic preparation and integration sessions, supporting clients before and after psychedelic experiences to ensure they are as safe, intentional, and meaningful as possible. I also co-facilitate monthly integration circles — find out more at integrationcircle.online.
