Mr Valentin Donzé 

Specialised in:

• Advice in psychological well-being
• Attention disorders and neurodivergence (ADHD)
• Couples counseling
• Maladaptive daydreaming
• Narrative Therapy
• Sexology
• Unconventional relationship styles (polyamory, open relationships, etc...)

After working and studying in numerous areas of psychology, I now wish to dedicate myself to an integrative practice filled with kindness and rationality.

A psychologist should not only deal with the unsatisfactory areas of a person's functioning; it's also important to highlight and reinforce what is working well. My work consists of providing my patients with the tools to take charge of their own psychological balance, their couple life (if applicable), and their fulfillment within their chosen values.

I work in English, French or Mauritian Creole, and have good knowledge of German and Italian.

I use classic cognitive-behavioral approaches combined with contemporary ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy) methodologies.

My office is located in Lausanne, at 51 Avenue de Montchoisi, close to the Jurigoz bus stop which is a 15 minute walk from the train station, much less by bus; parking isn't usually an issue in this area.come to meet you. I can only do in-person sessions on Wednesdays and Thursdays; outside of these, I offer online sessions.

The rate for a full hour of individual counseling in psychology or sexology is CHF 140/hour.

The rate for couples is CHF 180/hour, extendable to 1.5-hour sessions for CHF 220.

I am not covered by LAMal (basic Swiss health insurance), but by certain supplementary insurances. If this is important, please check with your provider regarding this. Kindly note that if you do not cancel a session 24 hours in advance, you will be charged for it.
