Vivienne

Ms Vivienne Herke

Counselor

“An experienced psychological practitioner working in Lausanne and online across Europe to help teenagers, adults and families to understand themselves better and make meaningful changes in their lives.”

About Me

I work with teenagers, adults, and families, guiding you to understand your experiences more deeply. Together, we can explore patterns and clarify thoughts, helping you find new ways forward. My aim is to create a supportive space where you can make meaningful changes. Clients seeking clarity and purpose find this approach helpful, whether online across Europe or in Lausanne.

Approach

When people arrive feeling stuck, I attend closely to the small routines, relationships and moments that quietly sustain old patterns and limit choices. Whether we meet in Vaud or by secure video, in English or French, the pace is steady and conversational—focused on sensing what’s happening, naming it, and testing short experiments between sessions. I offer gentle challenge alongside practical tools to shift anxiety, anger, sleep or family tensions. This way of working suits adolescents, parents and couples who want clear, steady progress.
