Psychologist for Dependence and addiction in Sint-Stevens-Woluwe

Parfois, il arrive de rencontrer des changements ou des évènements de vie qui entraînent une certaine souffrance. Cette souffrance peut s’exprimer à travers des sensations et des émotions désagréables voire insupportables. Ces émotions vont alors provoquer des pensées qui peuvent mener à des comportements parfois contre-productifs. Qui n’a jamais vécu une situation qui le dépasse ? Qui n’a jamais adopté un comportement nuisible pour lui-même ? Chaque personne a son propre parcours de vie et il peut arriver à n’importe quel moment de sa vie de vivre une situation difficile à gérer. Le but de cet espace de travail thérapeutique consiste à identifier et à déconsolider les schémas de pensée négatifs afin de construire de nouveaux modes de pensée plus réalistes ou plus confortables. Il s’agit d’une co-construction de certains outils et techniques efficaces en cas de souffrance psychologique : dépression, anxiété, crise d’angoisse, estime de soi, évènement de vie compliqué, difficultés relationnelles, changements, addictions, burn-out, troubles obsessionnels compulsifs, phobies, etc. La co-construction permet à la personne souhaitant entreprendre un travail thérapeutique d’acquérir une autonomie dans la gestion de son bien-être psychologique. Mon approche de travail s’oriente selon les techniques de la thérapie cognitivo-comportementale (TCC) qui permettent de construire des stratégies d’adaptation et de résolution de problème et de travailler la régulation émotionnelle.

Therapy is only available in French I have been an analytically oriented psychotherapist for several years in Brussels, more precisely in Laeken. I did a 3 year training in a recognized and official organization in Belgium. I am still training today. I have done a long personal analytical work of several years. With my patients, I work in depth on the link between the crisis of the moment (what brings the patient to consult, what we call the symptom) and his history in order to be able to interrupt this cycle of repetition. At the beginning of the therapeutic follow-up, there are first preliminary interviews in order to analyze your request, to get to know you and to consider if a collaboration is possible between you and me. These interviews vary between 2 and 3 sessions, they are a first contact. They are important in the sense that they allow you to know if you feel heard. It will also be an opportunity for you and me to reflect on the therapeutic work that we will do together. I am particularly keen that the patient is an actor and active in his or her work, which I believe is a source of real progress. I listen to your symptoms while trying to understand their meaning in the moment. It goes without saying that the confidentiality of the interviews is of the utmost importance. I welcome all types of patients in psychological suffering.

Each person’s healing path is unique, and my approach is rooted in empathy, creativity, and evidence-based techniques, helping you navigate challenges with self-compassion and resilience.

If you're looking for a space to explore, express, and heal, I’d be honored to walk this path with you.

With a multicultural background and multiple experiences abroad, I would like to let me guide you through different processes of reconnecting with one’s self, understanding your path, overcoming challenges in your everyday life, going through an overwhelming period, wanting to communicate better with your partner, approaching burnout, or experiencing high levels of anxiety or depression. 

Clinical psychologist graduated in 2016 from the Université Libre de Bruxelles, I have since had the opportunity to work in several institutions welcoming people with various pathologies: autism, psychological disorders, dysphasia, deafness, etc. My professional experiences have been varied and rich in lessons. I am now opening my own practice to accompany children, adolescents and adults in the form of individual interviews. In order to broaden my skills, I am also training in sign language in Ixelles. My psychotherapeutic vision is Freudian inspired. I welcome you for a first meeting at my office or at your home to understand your problems. You will then decide if you wish to start a therapeutic work.
