Psychologist, psychotherapist, I am returning to Belgium to support psychological suffering in the following circumstances: those that may be experienced following a particular life event, but also more generally following a setback experienced in the process of personal development (whether the dominant feeling is suffering or stagnation).

It is in the acceptance of a life in perpetual motion that I propose to welcome those who need a space to transform what stands in the way of the smooth unfolding of their existence.

The disorders that can occur and reveal the presence of the obstacle can be very varied in nature, ranging from eating disorders to OCD, to depressive manifestations, through sleep disorders, and up to various manifestations of an anxiety disorder. All these manifestations can be approached either with brief therapy or with longer therapy: In 25 years of experience, I have encountered one therapy that lasted 7 weeks and another that lasted 10 years. The choice, I believe, depends on each person’s needs as well as on the skill with which the therapist practices. It is for this reason that I continue to train month after month.

I use speech as my preferred tool, and even more so dreams, visual representations, and finally sand play. It is with you that the meaning of experiences is developed, taking into account the inner child, as a suffering child and/or as one who may be able to infuse new energy.

Whether within the framework of individual therapy or a small support group (intended here for highly sensitive people), I welcome you all.
