Hella Zouiten

My interest in psychology, consciousness and the human condition has been a constant throughout my life, deepening over the years through my reading, studies, practice and personal experience.

Born and raised in Tunisia, I left my home country in the early 2000s and went on to live in Paris, London and New York before settling in Nice in 2021. Living across different cultures has widened my perspective on identity, relationships and the many ways we experience the world; both what is personal to each of us and what we share.

I am certified in psychoanalytically oriented psychotherapy in France and completed four years of training in body-oriented psychotherapy – Core Energetics, an integrative somatic psychotherapeutic approach. I began my training in New York and continued at the Netherlands Institute of Core Energetics in the Netherlands.

My body-oriented training includes working with emotions, exploring bodily sensations and the ways emotional and psychological experiences can manifest physically, as well as nervous system regulation. My work is trauma-informed and draws on contemporary research in neuroscience.

In my practice, I bring my experience, curiosity and presence to the therapeutic relationship, meeting each person where they are and supporting them in understanding and being with what they are going through, while finding their way forward.

I work with adults and couples, in English, French and Arabic, both in-person in Nice and online.

I also write for ELLE Egypt on psychology, relationships and the human experience. My articles are available in English and French on this website, with audio versions read by me available on Spotify and Apple Podcasts .
