Individuals, Couples, Pregnancy

Hello, I'm Delphine.

I'm a clinical and counselling psychologist supporting adults facing life challenges, trauma, or life transitions. I see clients in person in Manchester, or by video.

My specialism is identity and trauma — the lasting effects of trauma and trauma prevention. I particularly support identity questions linked to gender, culture, sexuality, neurodivergence, or the arrival of a new identity (becoming a mother, being an immigrant...). A traumatic experience can generate anxiety, low self-esteem, a tendency to self-efface, difficulty communicating, persistent low mood... I also work from a neuro-affirmative perspective, which I bring to three areas: individual support, couple support, and birth support.

Individually, I help you understand and defuse patterns rooted in trauma, and I support autistic and ADHD adults from a neuro-affirmative perspective — without trying to normalise them. With couples, I draw on Imago Therapy to help partners move past reactive conflict and build authentic mutual understanding. With expectant parents, I combine psychological preparation with hypnobirthing, so birth is met with confidence rather than apprehension.

Every clinical story is singular — there's no single protocol. My approach is built around what's actually keeping the difficulty in place.
