Ms. Louisa Drid

Clinical Psychologist

" To welcome and listen to someone is to make her / him feel they exist, shedding light on their worth, importance and validating their legitimacy."


I am a French clinical psychologist holding a master’s degree in clinical psychology and Psychopathology from Lyon 2 University. With 15 years of experience working with individuals of all ages across diverse settings, including schools, non-profit organizations, and hospitals, I am a supportive and reassuring professional equipped to address a wide range of psychological concerns.

I recognize that the psychologist-patient relationship is fundamentally an alliance grounded in trust. I therefore place particular emphasis on creating a safe, welcoming, non-judgmental, and compassionate environment that facilitates open expression and attentive listening, with interventions tailored to everyone’s specific needs.

Committed to delivering high-quality care, I have undertaken training in multiple therapeutic modalities and adopt an integrative approach to clinical practice.

My primary modality is psychodynamic psychotherapy, which focuses on exploring the meaning and underlying causes of psychological difficulties, working at their root to promote lasting change. This approach also supports the development of deeper self-awareness and sustained psychological well-being.

In addition, I incorporate psycho-corporeal approaches such as Caycedian sophrology, in which I am trained at IPEES in Lyon, France. I am also trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapies and Systemic Psychology, enabling me to support patients in both understanding and effectively managing their difficulties.

I have further expertise in family and relational support, including conjugal dynamics and parental guidance, as well as in crisis management. I also facilitate support groups and provide analysis of professional practices.
Deeply committed to my profession, I am dedicated to offering my expertise in the service of my patients and their families, in both French and English.
