Valérie Gosselin
Life is an ever-evolving journey, marked by ups and downs, twists and turns. When facing difficult challenges, it’s important to take a moment to focus on our well-being.
A bit about me: My therapeutic approach is rooted in empathy and authenticity. As your counsellor, I will provide a safe space for you to explore your emotions and how they manifest in your body, relationships, and overall life. I will be there to support you every step of the way.
With over ten years of experience as a counsellor, I have worked with clients from diverse backgrounds. I enjoy incorporating the Medicine Wheel into sessions, with my clients’ permission, for its holistic approach to addressing the mental, physical, spiritual, and emotional aspects of ourselves. Grounded in Indigenous wisdom, this approach emphasizes balance and interconnectedness, helping individuals achieve harmony within themselves and with their surroundings
I’m a mother of two daughters, ages 21 and 18. I enjoy nature, animals, cooking, oil painting, and traveling.
I look forward to the opportunity to work with you!
