Dr. Koukoui is a clinical psychologist registered with the Ordre des Psychologues du Québec and the College of Psychologists of Ontario. Her work encompasses clinical consultations, scholarly research and social engagement. Indeed, Dr Koukoui offers psychotherapy to couples and families. She is Adjunct Professor and Université de Montréal and full researcher at CIUSSS-CODIM. She carries out her advocacy work with refugees and asylum seekers, and through her foundation: the Foundation Sensolia, which offers free multidisciplinary care to women who have experienced female genital cutting.

After completing a Master’s degree in Behavioural Neuroscience at McGill University, Dr. Koukoui pursued a Master’s degree and doctorate in Cultural Clinical Psychology at UQAM, with an internship in adult psychiatry and in child mental health. She continued on with a postdoc in Transcultural Psychiatry at McGill University. In addition, she is certified as a couples’ therapist through The Couples Institute, in California. She also completed a five-year graduate certification program in personality assessment at the Projective Psychology Institute.

Dr. Koukoui’s approach is systemic, transcultural, psychodynamic, decolonial, and she appreciates drawing from the richness of various disciplines to carry out her work. There is ample space for the integration of the arts, spirituality and the erotic (as vitality, sexuality and life force) in patients’ psychotherapy journey. Dr. Koukoui also offers consultation services for colleagues, either for ongoing professional growth or for punctual case conceptualisation.

When she isn’t working, she loves garden-to-table cooking for or with her loved ones, immersing herself in a good poetry book, and small venue concerts that leave you smiling for days.
