Jérôme Raes

My name is Jérôme Raes. I am a psychologist and psychoanalyst.

I have been working for twenty years in various institutions such as mental health services or therapeutic communities. I am also a member of the Belgian commission of psychologists.

I offer consultations for adults, couples and families.

I provide ad hoc support on request and more in-depth therapies for different issues. We will analyze the situation together as well as the personal commitment you wish to devote to it in order to decide on one option or the other.

People often embark on psychotherapy or analysis after a traumatic event, when they feel they are missing something in their life, or when they are tired of repeatedly enduring suffering, failures, or breakups. Indeed, if there were no difficulties, why would anyone go to see a therapist?

Even if it gets off to a bad start, this journey often turns out to be one of the most fascinating experiences in a person’s life.

Doing therapy means untying the knots of one’s life, confronting one’s own contradictions, facing what the world and the culture in which we have been immersed since birth impose on us. In short, it means becoming the free actor of one’s life rather than the object of it.

If after a few sessions we both feel that we can walk this part of the road together, I will be happy to support you in this very special process.
