I have been a clinical psychologist for some years. I can provide counselling and psychotherapy for people in mental pain. Throughout the years I have worked with people suffering due to personal issues, as well as work related issues. I have also offered psychotherapy to disabled people ( physically, mentally,sensory and psychically). I have also dealt with migrants in political and economic difficulties.
I am also aware that institutional issues can have an negative impact on the mental health of an individual.
It seems essential to me to adapt the psychotherapy to the needs of the patients. Both in the pacing of the sessions and their pricing. My main concern is focusing on what my patients say, Therefore helping them with their personal suffering and desires.
I am bilingual in English and French as such I can provide sessions in both languages.
Lastly, I have been in therapy for many years. This has given me a personal and emotional insight as to the way of practicing my profession. This has added to my theoretical and intellectual knowledge provided by my university training.
