Viviane Talkeu

Psychotherapist

“I am passionate about providing warm, creative, and culturally inclusive therapy. I have experience working therapeutically with young and older adults from diverse backgrounds. Having lived in several countries, I offer therapy in English, German, French, Spanish and Serbian/Croatian/Bosnian.”

About Me

I am passionate about providing warm, creative, and culturally inclusive therapy, understanding that your background profoundly shapes your experience. I support young and older adults from diverse cultures, helping them explore their unique perspectives. My experience living in several countries allows me to connect with you in English, German, French, Spanish, or Serbian/Croatian/Bosnian. This ensures a truly comfortable space where your whole self is welcome, fostering deeper understanding across cultural nuances.

Approach

Your background shapes our conversations, so I focus on how culture, language and life stages show up in your daily choices and relationships and guide what we explore together. I see adults in London and online, working in English, German, French, Spanish or Serbian/Croatian/Bosnian to ensure comfort and clarity across cultural layers. Sessions move at a steady, collaborative pace: reflective listening, practical steps, gentle mindfulness and short between-session activities help translate insight into change. This way of working suits those facing relocation, career shifts, perinatal transitions or relationship and self‑esteem challenges.
