Równoważnia – Therapy and Development

I provide individual and group therapy in Belgium (Geel) and online. I work with adults who experience emotional crises, the effects of trauma, psychological overload, burnout, and difficulties related to addictions and codependency.

I am a clinical psychologist, psychotraumatologist, and addiction therapist. In my work, I support people struggling with depression, low mood, loss of life’s meaning, chronic fatigue, stress, and relationship problems. I also help people with an ACoA and ACA background.

In the therapeutic process, I focus on understanding the mechanisms that led to psychological and emotional overload. Together with the client, we gradually rebuild the sense of safety, connection with their own resources, and the ability to regulate emotions. I believe that psychological difficulties are not a sign of weakness, but a natural reaction of the body to experiences that, at a given moment, exceeded our coping capacities. A crisis, depressive symptoms, relapse of addiction or traumatic reactions are signals that the nervous system needs support, regulation, and a safe relationship.

I specialize in working with relational, complex and shock trauma. I work within approaches based on contemporary knowledge of how the nervous system and body memory function, such as: NARM (NeuroAffective Relational Model), Somatic Experiencing (SE), EFT – Emotionally Focused Therapy.

My work is not based solely on conversation. It includes signals coming from the body, tension, autonomic responses, and the client’s individual pace. The therapeutic process takes place in a safe way, without pressure and without the need to relive traumatic experiences.

In the field of addictions, I work both individually and in groups. I treat addiction not as a lack of willpower, but as a way of regulating emotions and tension that has played an important role in the past. In therapy, I support the healing process, the development of new coping strategies, and the rebuilding of relationships with oneself and others.

The scope of my work includes, among others:

 

Therapy for depression and low mood;

 

Therapy for occupational burnout;

 

Treatment of substance and behavioral addictions;

 

Therapy for codependency, ACoA and ACA;

 

Work with trauma and stress-related disorders;

 

Support in life crises;

 

Therapy for chronic stress and emotional overload.

I offer individual therapy in person in Belgium and online. I also provide group therapy in Geel, support groups, psychoeducational workshops, and therapeutic development retreats. In my work, I am guided by empathy, mindfulness, and respect for each person’s individual story. I create a space based on safety, trust, and a collaborative therapeutic relationship. I tailor my methods of work to the client’s needs, abilities, and pace.
