Presentation

I am Françoise De Donder and I am happy to welcome you to my site.
Cosmopolitan, I began my career as a lawyer at the Brussels Bar before working as a strategy and communication consultant on 4 continents.
Having retrained in psychotherapy more than ten years ago, I am certified by the Paris School of Gestalt (EPG) and trained in couples therapy at the School of the Couple.
I am also a practitioner in Humanistic EMDR and LCP (Lifespan Integration) and integrate these approaches into my practice.
A member of the Belgian Society of Gestalt, my practice is governed by the code of ethics of the European Association for Gestalt Therapy (EAGT) and the European Association for Psychotherapy (EAP). I receive supervision and ongoing training.
My Approach
The therapeutic support I offer is intended for older teenagers and adults, in individual or couples sessions.
The sessions take place in my office or online in French or in English, with the possibility of adjusted hours depending on time zones.
For whom?
I support women and men who wish to get to know themselves better, to welcome and manage their emotions, or to go through difficult life stages while being active agents in their choices and their lives.
I also welcome couples who are going through periods of questioning, tension and crisis.
For what?
The most common issues I encounter in my practice are emotional insecurity, lack of self-confidence, stress, anxiety and panic attacks, depression, shame, loneliness, phobias, trauma (abuse, violence, mistreatment), addictions, relationship and commitment difficulties, bereavement and other disruptive life transitions.
After more than 30 years of expatriation, I have a particular sensitivity to difficulties related to expatriation, life changes and interculturality.
How?
After an initial introductory session during which you share your needs and expectations, we will assess together the possibilities of moving forward in trust, within a safe and non-judgmental framework.
We can then begin the work and specify its scope and modalities (frequency and cancellation of sessions, closure of the therapy and others).
Together, through dialogue and proposed mind-body experiments, we adjust your way of being and repair what needs to be repaired.
