Biography
Sandra Ward is a Social Worker at VeryPatient — Clinique de la Brisée in Maisières (Mons), Belgium. Sandra Ward cares for expat and international families, with consultations available online, on WhatsApp or in person.
Sandra C. Ward is an American-trained clinical counsellor and licensed specialist clinical social worker (MSW, LSCSW) with over 30 years of experience as a therapist. Having established her private practice Wasmes Family Counseling in the Mons area of Belgium (near SHAPE/Casteau) in 2015, she has built a reputation as one of the most experienced English-speaking therapists in the region — particularly well known to the NATO, military, and international expatriate community. Her therapeutic philosophy is solution-focused and highly integrative: she combines a wide range of evidence-based techniques including EMDR (which she uses for trauma desensitisation, smoking cessation, and food craving management), person-centred therapy, cognitive approaches, and family systems work. She is one of the few practitioners in Belgium to offer counselling and therapy in English, Spanish, and Portuguese, and provides flexible access through in-person, online, telephone, and messaging-based therapy. She has particular expertise in trauma, grief, domestic violence, couples and marital counselling, family therapy, and gender/transgender issues. She holds consultation sessions at Clinique de la Brisée on Wednesdays and Fridays.
