Luisa Mannu

My name is Luisa Mannu and I am a Therapist, Life Coach and cognitive-behavioural approach “Counsellor”.  I receive in Brussels, near the European institutions,  and I practise in French, English and Italian.

I support children, teenage girls and adults with issues related to all kinds of changes and difficult transitions in their personal, relational and professional life.

Having been trained in different approaches, I offer personalised therapy that meets your needs and attitudes and that helps you get through a difficult period.

After losing my husband at the age of 32, I went through a long and very intense grieving process. The immense sorrow that accompanied me throughout this journey turned out to be a truly enriching inner experience, which awakened in me a strong passion for helping people through emotional difficulties and for sharing the inner richness that inhabits me.

A research scientist by training, I am certified as a:

• Cognitive-behavioural coach by the “Centre for Coaching”, Middlesex University, London;
• Grief Recovery Method Specialist by the “Grief Recovery Institute®”, US;
• Creative Grief Support Counsellor by the “Creative Grief Support Studio”, US.

How can I help you?

As a specialist in therapeutic support for change, transitions and trauma linked to loss, the help I offer does not necessarily involve going back to your distant past.

This is a completely new approach in our European countries, but it is widely known in the United States, Canada and all English-speaking countries.

My support focuses mainly on the emotional states, the suffering and the feelings you are experiencing right now.

I will support you in discovering your deepest inner resources and the resilience so often hidden by pain. Your current despair will gradually be transformed and you will relearn how to live in full wholeness.

Thanks to my training and qualifications, having walked the same path, I offer you personalized support, since I know that every pain is unique and every person deserves unique, tailor-made support.

As a cognitive-behavioral “life coach,” I help you understand your emotional reactions, discover what lies behind certain behaviors, and help you cope with a period of crisis. I guide you to achieve your goals and/or help you make important decisions in your life.

I support anyone who is suffering for different reasons:

• a separation or divorce;

• a life transition;

• difficulties related to romantic relationships;

• stress, distress, anxiety;

• post-traumatic disorders;

• the loss of a loved one;

• bereavement;

• a previous loss that has not yet been overcome;

• a miscarriage;

• the end of a romantic relationship;

• the loss of a pet;

• the end or change of a friendship;

• the loss of health;

• moral or physical exhaustion;

• depressive disorders;• a major life change (uprooting, moving, children leaving home);

• relationship difficulties in personal or professional life;

• communication and/or interaction difficulties with others;

• the loss of the meaning of life and of hope;

• an intangible loss that one does not perceive as disrupting life today.

• loss or lack of self-confidence and/or confidence in others;

• disappointed hopes;

• a feeling of guilt, anger, fear or phobia;

• a loss of employment or a change of job;

I also support you if:

• you are currently facing a loved one who is losing their intellectual and/or physical abilities (aging parents);
• you are facing a loved one who is hopelessly fighting for their life;

you feel lost and you no longer recognize yourself as the person you once were.
