Alix van der Vaeren

My name is Alix and I specialize in art psychotherapy. I dedicate my expertise to a form of psychology that integrates the creative process as a means of self-expression and healing. My commitment is reflected in the creation of a safe and supportive environment where my clients, whether children, adolescents, or any curious individuals, can explore, grow, and discover themselves in various ways.

Based on an intensive university master's degree, my unique approach intertwines art psychotherapy with psychological theories such as child development, psychoanalysis, attachment theory, CBT, and many others. This enriching combination forms the foundation of my practice, offering a holistic perspective on the healing process.

In addition, the personal development technique of art psychotherapy uses artistic creation to express repressed feelings, allowing the emergence of what cannot be verbalized, often blocked by the analytical thinking of the left hemisphere. The goal is to reconnect body, mind, heart, and soul, creating a holistic balance conducive to healing and personal growth.

Art psychotherapy proves to be particularly effective in helping to overcome emotional disorders, difficulties in managing stress and anxiety, communication problems, regulation disorders, as well as various physical and mental conditions.

As a supportive, patient, and attentive guide, I offer to accompany each individual throughout their healing journey. My belief in the transformative impact of art psychotherapy is reflected in my commitment to providing personalized support, encouraging my clients to embrace creativity as a powerful path toward mental and emotional well-being.
