Psychologists

Psychologue pour adolescents et adultes, Hypnose conversationnelle (PTR), psychologue du sport et préparation mentale

Who am I? If this question seems simple on the surface, it actually encompasses a subtle mix of meanings, values, representations, experiences, images, skills and much more. It seems very difficult to answer this question in a few lines, but that is what I am going to do in order to give you the most accurate picture possible of the therapist that I am. My experience has shown me that the difficulties encountered by individuals are often linked to relational and emotional axes. I apply effective psychotherapy techniques to help patients understand themselves and to encourage them to adopt new attitudes in the face of the challenges they face. I approach the difficulties encountered by my patients through a systemic axis that includes all of your inter-personal relationships as well as through a more behavioral axis that will aim to focus on your thought patterns, in other words, your way of perceiving and interpreting the world around you. I also use Ericksonian hypnosis which allows me to work very effectively on a set of daily difficulties with a focus on your emotional feelings rather than your personal history. It is essential to keep in mind that therapy is not a magic formula that will instantly solve all your problems, but a process that requires as much investment from the patient as from the therapist. In the end, small changes such as learning to deal with feelings of sadness or fear can lead to big wins. I seek to foster your own reflection and resources so that you can reconnect with yourself. My approach to therapy advocates a non-pathological reading of your experience in order to work collaboratively with you in a trusting relationship for the short or long term depending on your needs. With a Master's degree in Public Law and Political Science, I decided to complete my training with a degree in Clinical Psychology in order to be able to be closer to the difficulties of the people I accompany. I am also trained in Ericksonian Hypnosis, a diploma certified by l'Arche, Paris, and also in Multidimensional Family Therapy (MDFT), a diploma from the psychiatry department of the Brugmann Hospital, in order to be able to help couples and families effectively. Concerning my passions, I am a dancer and musician, music producer, beatmaker, multi-instrumentalist. Dance and music are for me two privileged means of expression with considerable resources.

Portée par un profond intérêt pour l’humain et ses fonctionnements, j’ai naturellement choisi la voie de la psychologie. Engagée et bienveillante, j'ai toujours eu à cœur les relations humaines et le soin de l’autre.

Mon approche s’inscrit dans une vision humaniste de la psychothérapie. J’y intègre la parole, le travail psychocorporel, la relation thérapeutique et l’EMDR. Ainsi je m’adapte et cherche à répondre au mieux aux besoins de chacun.

Convaincue de l’importance d’une approche holistique, je m’efforce de considérer chaque patient dans toutes les dimensions de son vécu. Lorsque cela est pertinent, je n’hésite pas à travailler en réseau pour offrir un accompagnement cohérent et complet.

Psychologue spécialisée en neuropsychologie et développement cognitif, diplômée de l’Université Libre de Bruxelles. Je m’intéresse plus particulièrement au développement des bébés et des enfants d’âge préscolaire (0 – 6 ans), mais j’ai été formée auprès de populations de tous âges.

J’ai également obtenu un diplôme de bachelier en chant et art lyrique et suivi une formation en direction chorale au Conservatoire Royal de Bruxelles. J’ai ensuite enseigné l’éveil musical à des enfants de quelques mois (avec un parent) à 12 ans. J’ai également donné des cours de chant et dirigé plusieurs chorales d’enfants et d’adultes.

J’oriente ma pratique clinique vers le dépistage, l’évaluation et le diagnostic précis de retards de développement (en particulier, retard de langage) de façon la plus précoce possible afin de mettre en place des outils et stratégies qui permettront de minimiser leur impact sur la scolarité future.

La première stratégie est de déceler tous les « points forts » tant au niveau cognitif que relationnel/affectif.

Mon outil de prédilection est la musique : elle permet de développer des compétences qui serviront à compenser les difficultés rencontrées.

Enfin, je me passionne pour la revalidation des troubles du langage oral par le chant choral.

As a psychologist and sexologist based in Brussels, I support your journey towards well-being, whether you're dealing with mental health challenges like depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, phobias, or obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). I also welcome individuals seeking self-discovery or simply looking to enhance their well-being, even without specific concerns.

I specialise in sleep disorders and difficulties related to sexuality, including sexual orientation, gender identity, and relationship problems. I offer caring and inclusive psychological support (LGBTQIA+), adapted to your specific needs.

My practice is based on cognitive-behavioral and emotional therapies, such as ACT therapy (acceptance and commitment therapy) and schema therapy, to help you build a more fulfilled and balanced life. My approach is centered on individuals and couples, with the aim of promoting your well-being and personal development. 

After a few years of practice, I believe that we offer a better quality of listening and presence to those who are at the interaction of our interests and our clinical experience. This is why I prefer to see adolescents and adults with a strong artistic sensibility, but who suffer from depression, anxiety and eating disorders, which are all invisible vulnerability factors; and I am happy to listen to people who have experienced a history of violence, which impacts their emotional and professional choices as well as their self-esteem.
