Catherine Hubeaux

Psychotherapist and marital and family counselor with a psychoanalytic orientation, I practice an integrative approach (person-centered approach, psychoanalysis, work on relationships) with adults, adolescents, and children.

I began my professional career in the field of early childhood (project and team management, training of professionals in the sector, support for parenting, work on the parent-child relationship), then moved towards a more therapeutic practice (work in family planning), which I now carry out in private practice in Biesme (Mettet).

The consultations I offer are intended for adults (individually or as a couple), teenagers, or children who are facing a situation that currently prevents them from living peacefully in good conditions of psychological and physical health.

The issues that may lead you to seek help are specific to each person and it is difficult to make an exhaustive list of them, but here are some situations that might lead you to consult:

•  Encounter with a traumatic event (unexpected, beyond what is “normal”, often marked by violence) that puts you in a state of physical and/or psychological stress
• Personal difficulties that cause feelings of depression or anxiety
• Encounter with a life event that causes stress and distress (professional burnout, parental overload, divorce, bereavement…)
• Relationship difficulties with a child, difficulties that lead me to question my ability to be an adequate, sufficiently “good” parent. (my child does not want to go to sleep, does not eat properly, opposes everything…)
• Relationship difficulties with those around me (family, friends, partner…)
•  Inability to feel “in my place”, to feel legitimate in society, in the family…
• Difficulty in supporting a close relative going through a complex situation (bereavement, illness, separation…)
• Difficulty at school (concentration, friendships, relationships with teaching staff…)
• Couple difficulties (repeated conflicts, inability to communicate constructively, unfulfilling sex life,…)
• Any other situation you would like to share with a professional in listening and supportive relationships.

The purpose of the consultations is to enable the person to express their experience and feelings in a neutral, caring and confidential setting, and to offer guidance work and exploration of alternative options aimed at overall well-being.

More broadly, I offer you a space for talking and sharing, a place where we can reflect together on developing your tools and resources to cope more calmly with the various events that lead you to seek consultation.
