Ms Tatyana Leist

Registered Psychologist

“I am a qualified, registered and experienced psychologist practising in English in Toulouse, France. I specialise in trauma, chronic mental health issues and addiction. I am trained in a variety of modalities: schema therapy, CBT, DBT, psychodynamic and somatic therapies. toulousepsychology.com”

About Me

I help individuals in Toulouse navigate the complex impacts of trauma, chronic mental health challenges, and addiction. Drawing on a range of evidence-based approaches, including EMDR and somatic therapies, I tailor our work to your unique needs. We can explore patterns and develop practical strategies to foster lasting change. My aim is to create a supportive space where you can process difficult experiences and build resilience for a more stable future.

Approach

Expect sessions to move between somatic awareness and structured problem-solving, paced to your tolerance while we track patterns and small wins. I use focused interventions and brief skills practice, then we agree on practical steps to try between sessions to test new habits in daily life. I balance pace and safety, checking in on body responses and thoughts to help you stabilise and gradually widen what feels possible. This steady, practical way of working often suits people managing chronic distress, relationship strain or addictive patterns.
