Couples Therapy in English for International and Multilingual Couples

A multilingual therapist for multilingual relationships

I work with couples whose shared language is English, particularly when English is not the native language of one or both partners.

Many international and intercultural couples live, work and build their relationships in a language that is not their first language. Over the years, I have developed a particular interest in understanding how multilingualism, cultural background, migration experiences, trauma and neurodiversity shape intimate relationships and communication.

My clinical work is grounded in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and integrates evidence-based approaches to couple therapy.

I may be particularly helpful if:

  • you are an international / intercultural couple;
  • English is your shared language, but not necessarily your native language;
  • one or both partners experience difficulties with emotional regulation;
  • one or both partners have ADHD, autism spectrum conditions or other neurodevelopmental conditions;
  • trauma, mental health difficultiesor addictions affect your relationship;
  • you are struggling with high-conflict dynamics, emotional distance, infidelity, or the question: “Should we stay together or separate?”

About me

I was originally trained as a psychiatrist and psychotherapist (MD, PhD; Russia) and am currently licensed as a clinical psychologist and psychotherapist in France.

I work online in private practice with adults and couples. I support individuals with mood disorders, including bipolar disorder and depression, anxiety disorders, OCD, personality disorders (including borderline personality disorder), PTSD and complex PTSD.

I also work with couples facing high-conflict dynamics, addiction-related difficulties, relationship crises, separation, or divorce-related decisions.I currently offer online consultations in Russian and French, and in English for multilingual couples only.

My practice is particularly suited to multilingual, intercultural and neurodiverse couples seeking an integrative and evidence-based approach to relationship difficulties.
