About
Nadjat Terfaia
Hypnotherapist · Certified NLP Coach · Supportive Counselling
A graduate in engineering, I worked for ten years in the field of advanced process control, optimizing industrial processes in oil refineries. Over time, I gradually transitioned toward human accompaniment, driven by a growing interest and deep curiosity for the psychological and emotional well-being of individuals.
To support this new direction, I trained at the Centre Québécois de PNL, where I obtained my certification as a Neuro-Linguistic Programming Coach in 2022, along with a certification as an Ericksonian hypnosis practitioner. NLP now allows me to intervene in a targeted way on thought patterns that hinder my clients’ growth, offering them personalized strategies adapted to their life context and goals.
Ericksonian hypnosis, developed by American psychiatrist Dr. Milton H. Erickson, is one of the pillars of my clinical approach. It is a gentle, non-directive therapeutic approach that respects the client’s autonomy and mobilizes unconscious resources to facilitate deep and lasting change.
Driven by this passion, I pursued my training in the United States, in New Mexico, where I obtained a clinical hypnotherapy certification from the Academy of Hypnotherapy of America in 2023. I now adopt an integrative approach, combining clinical hypnotherapy, Ericksonian hypnosis and NLP, which I adapt in a personalized way according to each client’s needs, goals and unique reality.
This practice is grounded in the highest ethical standards and a constant commitment to ongoing professional development. I work with adult and adolescent clients, with particular expertise in supporting mothers during transitional periods, as well as children facing emotional or learning challenges.
As part of my ongoing professional development, I am currently completing advanced training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) at the Beck Institute, a world reference in CBT founded by Dr. Aaron T. Beck. This training allows me to integrate the most recent evidence-based approaches, in order to offer an even more structured, effective and complete accompaniment.
Based in Laval, Quebec, I offer my services in French, English and Arabic, allowing me to reach a diverse clientele and create an inclusive, culturally sensitive therapeutic space. Consultations are available in person in Laval as well as online, to meet the needs and constraints of each individual.
