Kristin Duncombe, MSW, MPH
Psychotherapy and Health Education
LYON - PARIS

The therapeutic relationship is a joint effort between client and practitioner to explore the problems and concerns that the client wishes to resolve. I am a clinical social worker with a background in behavioural health. In my practice, I use an eclectic approach, which means that I draw from my training in relational, cognitive-behavioural, solution-focused and psychodynamic therapy to understand and respond to client’s diverse needs. Although every client-therapist relationship is unique, I have outlined here a seven-step process to give you an idea of how our work together may evolve:

  • Expressing and exploring your feelings around the issue(s) that have led you to therapy

  • Understanding those issues in the context of the larger portrait of your life -past, present and future

  • Navigating your present situation by exploring your questions and options

  • Identifying problematic patterns and their origins

  • Finding alternative strategies and approaches

  • Setting realistic goals and clarifying a direction for the future

  • Examining progress

I have fifteen years of clinical experience with individuals and families in the United States, Kenya, and France, and have worked successfully with a range of issues, including depression, anxiety, adjustment difficulties, eating disorders, substance abuse and relational problems.

I am from the United States, but grew up in Africa and Asia, and have lived as an expatriate most of my life. I currently divide my time between Paris and Lyon. If you would like to make an appointment, please call or email me to set up an interview.
