Océane Lahanque Professional title: Gestalt-oriented therapist; Address: Online / videoconferencing; Languages: French, English; Therapies offered: Adults, young adults Who am I? I am a therapist, trained at the Belgian Institute of Gestalt Therapy in Brussels. I devoted the first part of my professional life, within international institutions, to supporting organizations in countries experiencing crises. This gave me the opportunity to meet people in situations that were often conflict-ridden. My decision to train as a therapist extended this commitment, while also transforming it: moving from supporting organizations to supporting women and men who are suffering. I support adults and young adults who are going through periods of existential questioning or a desire for change: a loss of meaning, exhaustion or a depressive state, a feeling of being out of step or of having difficulty finding their place, relationships that cause suffering or feel confining, difficulties setting boundaries, painful bereavement, or heightened sensitivity. Sometimes life seems too complicated, too intense, or not enough... Therapy can open up a space to step out of the shadows, blockages, and repetitive patterns, and gradually regain greater freedom. My approach: Gestalt therapy This rigorous psychotherapeutic approach focuses on how each human being comes into contact with their environment. Particular attention is paid to what happens in the “here and now” of each session, at every level: mental, physical, sensory, and emotional. It involves taking an interest in each person’s uniqueness and in how they construct their way of being in the world. I am particularly committed to the idea that there is no single right way to be in the world: over the course of the sessions, I support the person in finding their own. I warmly welcome questions relating to gender and sexual orientation. My clients : I work with adults and young adults. Professional ethics: My practice is informed by regular supervision and continuing education. As a Member of the European College of Gestalt Therapy, I am committed to respecting the code of ethics, including strict confidentiality.
