Valérie Ward, Psychologist

About

Valérie graduated from the University of Sherbrooke in 2002. Initially trained in the humanistic-existential approach, she places great importance on the relationship she builds with her clients. Although she focuses on the present moment in therapy, she is also interested in the client's history, which often provides a better understanding of the roots of their difficulties. She likes to use elements from different approaches depending on the client's needs. Since 2007, she has been trained in Ericksonian hypnosis, an interesting tool that can help resolve a variety of issues.

In her practice, Valérie was initially interested in marginalized clienteles. She worked for several years in domestic and family violence prevention. Her experience is varied, both in terms of the environments in which she has worked and the clients she has worked with.

She sees her role as one of support, empowering clients by making them freer to be themselves and take responsibility for their own destiny.

Valérie offers her services in French to adult clients dealing with issues such as anxiety, depression, burnout, relationship difficulties, grief, self-esteem, difficulties related to the migration process, and post-traumatic stress.
