Book a session

I’m an officially licensed psychologist based in Brussels. I hold a Master of Science Diploma and I’m recognized by the Belgian Commission of Psychologists (no 812333003).

I offer one-on-one or group sessions, and I also facilitate workshops and seminars. In my approach, I use mainly therapeutic and expressive writing tools, and I synthesise the various methods from additional training I have received, such as: systemic approach, trauma therapy, philosophical counseling, book therapy, meditation, breathing and so on. All these, always based on the needs of the participants, the special elements of personality and individual background, in a climate of security and trust. I also strongly believe in the benefits that man can have from his contact with nature and in my approach – where possible – I include this dynamic.

Indicative cases I work with: burn out, traumatic experiences (CRM trauma therapy model), long- COVID psychological symptoms, chronic diseases, Highly Sensitive Persons (HSP), identity and sexual identity issues, relationship improvement, decision making, loss-mourning, transitions (pregnancy, divorce, unemployment, immigration, retirement, menopause etc.), communication, assertiveness, behavioral problems, personal growth, career consultation, burn out of medical staff  etc.

In addition, I have developed an autoimmune diseases program which consists of a set of 8 individual sessions designed specifically for people suffering from autoimmune diseases. The aim is to process the psychosomatic consequences of an autoimmune disease, any psychological processes that may have contributed to its trigger (traumatic experiences, chronic stress, loss, etc.) and also the psychological support of the person after diagnosis or due to changes that occur because of this (on physical, psychological, social level etc.). In this program, I use a combination of therapeutic writing techniques and the CRM model.

I work closely with writers and artists, guiding them to unlock their creativity and reach their full artistic potential. Through tailored sessions and workshops, I help them explore and overcome inner blocks, tap into their authentic voice, and embrace new perspectives in their creative processes. By blending psychological insights with techniques such as therapeutic writing, mindfulness, and reflective exercises, I provide a nurturing space for artistic growth and self-discovery. My goal is to empower them to deepen their connection with their craft and confidently bring their unique visions to life.

***

The sessions and workshops I conduct are held in an environment of safety and support, with empathy and respect for each participant’s personality. You can feel comfortable and express yourself freely, without concern about criticism.

Therapeutic writing doesn’t demand any previous writing experience or writing skills.
