Grow, heal, and thrive in Aix-en-Provence:
Grow, heal, and thrive in the heart of Provence.
If you’re an English-speaking resident, student, or professional in Provence and are ready to begin psychotherapy, you’ve come to the right place. I provide a welcoming, confidential space in La Cadière d’Azur — nestled between Marseille and Toulon — where you can explore your thoughts, feelings, and life challenges without judgment. Because the journey matters, many clients travel to see me from across the region, including Aix-en-Provence, Toulon, Marseille, and the surrounding Var.
Who I Am
I’m Joshua Comyn, a bilingual integrative psychotherapist offering psychotherapy in Provence. As a native English speaker fluent in French, I work with expats, international students, and locals alike. My approach blends evidence-based methods — cognitive-behavioral therapy, psychodynamic insight, emotion-focused work, and trauma-informed strategies — into a treatment plan tailored to each person. Furthermore, because I specialise in expat and international-student counselling, I understand firsthand the cultural adjustment, homesickness, and identity shifts that come with living abroad.
What I Offer in Provence:
| Service | Who it’s for | What you’ll get |
|---|---|---|
| Individual therapy (adults & teens) | Anyone seeking personal growth, relief from anxiety, depression, or life transitions | One‑on‑one sessions that integrate cognitive‑behavioral tools, psychodynamic insight, and humanistic encouragement – all delivered in English. |
| Couple therapy | Partners wanting better communication, conflict resolution, or deeper connection | Joint sessions that explore relational patterns, cultural differences, and attachment styles, using an integrative toolbox. |
| Family therapy | Families dealing with parenting challenges, inter‑generational issues, or conflict | A safe space for all members to share, understand each other’s perspectives, and build resilient family dynamics. |
| Coaching for foreign workers | Professionals adapting to a new workplace and culture | Practical strategies for communication, cultural competence, and career confidence, grounded in psychotherapy principles. |
