Psychologist · Paris & online
Sleep better,
worry
less.
I help adults who lie awake, wake at 4am or run on empty. Practical, evidence-based therapy, one change at a time.
Who I help
For nights that
won’t settle
Most people I see have tried the apps, the teas and the early nights. These are the four things they usually come with.
Insomnia
Taking an hour to fall asleep, or waking at 3am and staying up. Three nights a week or more.
Stress & burnout
Wired at night, flat by day. Work follows you home and the weekends no longer refill you.
Anxiety at night
A busy mind once the lights go off. Lists, replays and what-ifs that feel smaller by morning.
Shift-work sleep
Nurses, pilots, chefs and parents of babies. Sleep that has to fit hours your body didn't choose.
My approach
About Helena
I’m Helena, a clinical psychologist in Paris. For twelve years I’ve worked with people whose sleep has stopped looking after them, first in a hospital sleep clinic and now in my own practice.
Sessions are practical. You keep a short sleep diary, we look at it together, and each week you leave with one thing to try.

What a session is like
We sit and talk, in person or on video. No couch, no tests on the first day. I’ll take notes and share the plan with you at the end.
What I don’t treat
Sleep apnoea, narcolepsy, eating disorders and active addiction. I’ll refer you to a sleep physician or a colleague I trust.
If you need help now
I’m not an emergency service. If you’re in crisis, call 112 or the support line on 000 000 000, open 24 hours.
Your GP stays in the loop
With your permission I send your doctor a short letter after the first session, so your care stays joined up.
