Great-West Life Therapists in Montréal, QC

I am client centred and prefer to work collaboratively, integrating a variety of therapeutic modalities tailored to the needs of my client. I am professionally qualified as a Psychodynamic Psychotherapist and a Creative Arts Therapist. In addition, I have advanced training in Mindfulness and Meditation, training in CBT and in Solution Focused therapy. I am currently training in EMDR.

I am a licensed Psychotherapist with over 15 years of experience in counselling, coaching, career management, educational consulting and psychotherapy. My solution-focused approach is to empower & motivate you to take charge of your life and assist you in developing the required skills to cope with life’s challenges and overcome your current difficulties. I provide a warm, non-judgemental and safe space to allow you to uncover your positive path to mental health and wellness.

Life is challenging and sometimes we need help holding space for tough situations, transitions and new ways to learn more about ourselves so we can live an authentic life . You do not need to be an artist to benefit from art therapy! Anyone who wants to explore their feelings through art creation can benefit.

People seek help for specific reasons such as eating disorders, psycho-somatic conditions, obsessional behaviour, or phobic anxieties. At other times help is sought because of more general underlying feelings of depression or anxiety, difficulties in concentrating, dissatisfaction in work or inability to form satisfactory relationships. We believe in a mind-body connection so that improvements in psychological well-being translate into physical vitality. The benefits of our psychotherapy and counselling work include self-insight, inner fulfillment, raised self-esteem, a positive outlook and improved relationships.

I follow with my client the main steps and events of his life story ( including if it, s the case immigration story), the mournings in waiting or which are difficult to do, the psychotraumatic sequellae which deteriorate his life day by day. With my client I notice his main reactions and how he is managing his personal and social life. I suggest to my client to identify the changes he wants to bring in his life and I try to show him how he could succeed in and how I can help him to succeed.

My passion is human cognition. My work is Neuropsychological Diagnosis and Interventions. I use neuropsychological testing to understand how my clients use their memory, their attention, their intellect, etc. In other words, I try to understand how you process information in order to help you better understand yourself. We can also develop strategies to optimize or compensate. My work is based on research and I keep up to date with new interventions. The length of our work may vary, depending on our goals.

I am a fully bilingual clinical psychologist/psychotherapist with 28 years of rich and varied clinical experience within medical settings and mental health services in the UK and France. I provide a wide range of psychological interventions always tailored to a patient's needs. I help patients get their life back on track as I care deeply about their psychological and physical wellbeing. Having a highly sensitive temperament myself, I offer help to those who have identified themselves as highly sensitive and as a result, face issues that are difficult to deal with. My approach, while primarily psychodynamic, includes EMDR, cognitive strategies, schema therapy, mindfulness.

We are a team of clinicians that are trained to work with students, individuals, couples and families. That excel at helping you expand your emotional tolerance, reactions & communication skills.

The psychotherapy I am offering aims to understand the nature of your current difficulties and their underlying conflicts. The psychothetapetical treatment focuses on unresolved issues or repressed trauma, bringing the latent conflicts to consciousness. Gradually, you are becoming aware of the unconscious aspects of your distress, which eventually allows you to overcome it. I am giving importance to the development of trust and will encourages you to freely express your emotions, thoughts, memories and dreams.

The heart of great therapy starts with creating a sense of safety and comfort - and being offered the opportunity to express, understand and gain mastery over one's thoughts, feelings and behavior. There is genuine respect for the person's or couple's inherent strengths and capacities to engage in a process of change and growth. A mutual, clear understanding of the difficulties and challenges as well as the motivations, goals and expectations of the client guides the development and achievement of realistic, coherent and obtainable treatment goals - as well as greater functionality, well-being, performance and emotional stamina.
