About Me

Vanessa Egert Psychologist Paris

My multi-cultural background

Having been brought up in a multi-cultural home, across Europe and Africa, I celebrate the richness of different cultures and languages. I have gained first-hand experience of cultural diversity by living, studying and working in England, France, South Africa, Germany, Scotland and Kenya.

After gaining my Honours degree in Psychology from the University of the Witwatersrand, in South Africa, I went on to complete two master’s degrees. One was in Clinical Psychology from Ecole de Psychologues Praticiens Paris, in France, and the other in Human Cognitive Neuropsychology from the University of Edinburgh, in Scotland.

My way of working

In order to provide a service to you which is tailored to your needs and up to date with the newest developments in the field of psychology, continuous learning and following key developments within the profession are core to my practice.

Are you struggling to balance the demands of work, personal life, and social commitments?
Perhaps you’re dealing with negative self-talk, procrastination, or feelings of anxiety that are making it harder to manage daily responsibilities and relationships. It can feel overwhelming when these pressures build up, and you feel isolated in this experience. Having worked in high-pressure, fast-paced environments, such as a first-tier Management Consulting Firm, I understand the challenges of juggling multiple roles and the toll it can take on your mental well-being.

In therapy, it’s crucial to be able to express yourself in a language that feels natural to you. That’s why I offer therapy in both English and German—my mother tongues—ensuring you can speak openly and comfortably.

Whether you’re grappling with work stress, trauma, (the mental load of) parenting, feelings of self-doubt, anxiety, depression or a life transition, I am here to support you in navigating these challenges and achieving greater balance in your life.
