Véronique Bergeot

For a long time my working life ran at full speed. Years in the start-up world, one project and one deadline after another. I loved it. Until the day my body said stop: burnout.

What helped me get back on my feet wasn't grand theories. It was very practical tools, learned from a sophrologist, that I could use on my own, in the evening, on the metro, before a difficult meeting. I wanted to understand how they worked. Then I wanted to pass them on.

My training

I qualified at CEAS in Paris and at the Sophrology Academy in Ashford. I then trained in Ericksonian hypnosis, and I also use coaching tools, particularly from NLP. I'm a member of the FEPS (the French federation of professional sophrology schools) and of the Syndicat des Sophrologues Professionnels (the French union of professional sophrologists), which commits me to a code of ethics and to ongoing training.

How I work

I see people at my practice, 102 rue Ducau in Bordeaux, and by video call. I work with children from the age of 8, teenagers, adults and older people. I also work with companies, and I have run workshops in schools.

The subjects that come up most often: stress and mental load, sleep, managing emotions, self-confidence, preparing for an exam or a big deadline, and life after burnout, which I know from the inside.

My approach is simple. You leave every session with something practical to work on, and we go at your pace, without judgement. Everything said in a session stays confidential.

My aim isn't for you to keep coming back for a long time. It's for you to manage without me.
