Therapy in English, in Lyon
No referral, no waiting list, no doing this in French.
Lyon's growing business and tech scene draws internationals to France's second city — where English-speaking therapy is far scarcer than in Paris.

Why it matters here
France's second city, with fewer English-speaking options
Lyon has become a business and tech hub with a real international community, but English-speaking mental-health care hasn't kept pace — it's thinner here than in Paris. For someone whose French isn't up to the hardest conversation, that's a genuine gap. Online, you choose from everyone working in English and meet from home.
About Wefeel
What Wefeel is — and what it isn't
Wefeel is a place to find a therapist and arrange to meet them online. We verify that every therapist listed here is qualified to practise, and we give them a place to be found.
We are not a clinic and we are not a party to your therapy. The session is between you and your therapist, and it belongs to the two of you. What is said in it stays there.
Wefeel is also not a crisis service. If you are in immediate danger, the numbers below will reach someone right now.
What we work with
What brings people here
Loneliness and isolation
When your social life is made entirely of colleagues, and everyone who knew you before is in another time zone.
Anxiety and chronic stress
Visas, contracts, rent, the low hum of living somewhere you could be asked to leave.
Depression and flatness
Especially the kind that is hard to name, because on paper the move worked.
Identity and belonging
Caught between where you're from and where you live, between who you were and whoever this is now.
Relationships and family
Including the strain of having moved together — or of having moved without them.
Homesickness and grief
For people, for a former life, for the version of yourself that existed before you left.
This is not a complete list. If you're struggling with something that isn't here, get in touch anyway. Therapy begins with you, not with a category — and it doesn't require you to have found the right word for it first.
How it works
Three steps, no referral
Choose your therapist, pick a time in your own zone, meet by video from home. No referral, no French required.
Therapy is no place to worry about grammar
You should be able to say it badly and still be understood.
Reading
Written by the therapists themselves
Articles about anxiety, sleep, grief, burnout and the rest of it — written by the people you can book a session with.
If you need help right now
Wefeel is not a crisis service
