Viviane Talkeu (MA MBACP UKCP) Integrative Psychotherapist
English · French · German · Serbian · Spanish
“We often carry more than one culture, more than one story, and more than one Self”
Qualifications & Accreditation
Viviane is a UKCP-accredited and BACP-registered Integrative Psychotherapist, holding MAs in International Development and Migration Studies from UCL and UEL, and a PGDip in Advanced Clinical Practice from the Minster Centre.
Areas of Expertise
Viviane works with individuals and couples navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship difficulties, burnout, and significant life transitions. She has particular expertise in supporting multicultural, mixed-heritage, expat, and internationally mobile clients — including third-culture individuals exploring identity, belonging, and life between cultures.
Her perspective is informed by both lived experience and academic training in migration and development, allowing her to work with cultural complexity in a thoughtful and nuanced way. Viviane offers therapy across five languages, allowing clients to work in whichever
language feels most natural.
How Viviane Works
Her integrative approach draws on Relational, Person-Centred, Trauma-Informed, and Somatic methods, thoughtfully tailored to each individual or couple. She works with both short-term and open-ended therapy and also supports clients with psychedelic preparation and
integration. Her approach is grounded in the belief that clients are the experts in their own lives — she offers careful listening, honest reflection, and steady support to help clients build insight, resilience, and confidence.
Who Viviane Works With
Viviane works with individuals and couples (18+), with particular experience supporting:
- Expats and internationally mobile professionals navigating identity and cultural adjustment
- Mixed-heritage and third-culture individuals exploring belonging and life between cultures
- Multicultural couples and families navigating differences in values, language, and cultural background
- Individuals carrying trauma — developmental, relational, or displacement-related

- Those navigating significant life transitions — career change, separation, or bereavement
- High-achieving professionals experiencing burnout or seeking meaningful change
Background
With Eastern European and West African heritage, Viviane grew up across France and Germany before relocating to the UK. Her lived experience of migration, multilingualism, motherhood, and navigating multiple cultural identities informs her clinical work with depth and authenticity. Combined with academic training in development and migration studies, she brings both personal depth and professional rigour to her practice.
