Welcome
YOU’RE FACING AN OBSTACLE
It’s time to find a different solution.
As a psychologist, I have witnessed the progress of people who need to overcome difficult situations, as well as those who wish to make positive changes in their lives.
Most of the time, they simply need a safe place to pause, speak, and rebuild themselves.
My work is to provide that space; my greatest treasure is the trust placed in it.
Thank you for visiting my website and for considering allowing me to accompany you on your journey toward becoming the best version of yourself.
I'M PAOLA AKL
Clinical Psychologist and Director of Clinical Development at Meetual
For more than 15 years, I have accompanied people facing complex psychological challenges.
In the beginning, they often felt stuck in problems that seemed inexplicable and unmovable.
Together, we began a search to uncover the psychological nature of those obstacles.
Over the course of our sessions, they transformed their relationship with themselves, with others, and with the world around them.
Their problems then became smaller and more manageable — and eventually, they disappeared.
MY APPROACH
Discover my method
As a psychologist, I have been enriched by many different techniques and tools.
However, the foundations of my work are ethnopsychiatry, the differential approach, and systemic thinking.
Ethnopsychiatry
Your beliefs have likely been shaped by the culture in which you grew up.
Through the lens of ethnopsychiatry, I can support you from a perspective that makes sense to you — one that honors your identity rather than going against it.
Differential Approach
You are a unique person, with a unique story and unique challenges.
I guide every process from this perspective, offering solutions that are tailored to your life story.
Systemic Thinking
You are part of networks of relationships that influence who you are and how you act.
Addressing psychological difficulties isn’t only about your inner world — it also involves understanding the interactions you have with others.
