Psychologists

Ik ben Sonny. Ik ben licentiate in de klinische psychologie en de neurolinguïstiek en heb al meer dan 20 jaar ervaring als psychotherapeute. Ik heb meerdere opleidingen in de psychotherapie gevolgd, doch ik pas geen enkele vorm ervan strikt toe, maar combineer technieken naargelang jouw behoeften en mogelijkheden. Volwassenen en ouderen kunnen bij mij als psychotherapeute terecht, zowel individueel, als koppel of als gezin, rekening houdend met jouw behoeften en mogelijkheden.

I am a psychologist and psychotherapist, and am trained in brief therapy, hypnosis and systemic therapy. I see adolescents, adults and couples for consultations that last between 45 and 60 minutes. Here are some issues that might prompt you to come to me: separation, difficult bereavement, unhappiness, depression, burn-out at work or in the family, anxiety, phobia, experiencing chronic pain, complicated and/or abusive family relationships, trauma, communication difficulties, feelings of isolation, dropping out of school, ...

Clinical Psychologist, a graduate of the Catholic University of Louvain, I offer absorptions person-centered environment. To do this, I mainly lean on cognitive therapies, behavioral and emotional. These approaches, validated by the scientific community, are based on a collaborative relationship where the patient and psychologist working together in a relationship of trust, to understand the difficulties and learn to cope. Considering every human being as a singular individual, I make a point to adapt my method of working people and the suffering encountered. Each therapy is individualized and therapeutic strategies tailored to each during the sessions. Cognitive, emotional and behavioral therapies are supported brief, focused on the present moment and solution-oriented and action, helping to gradually overcome the signs of suffering can be debilitating in everyday life. They work on three dimensions: attitudes, thought patterns and emotions that keep lead a rich and meaningful life. The first time the therapy is to identify your current difficulties and to understand why they persist. Then, using therapeutic tools, we will act on these different dimensions to generate sustainable change. The aim is in this sense to learn to better manage its difficulties and exceed them, accepting what is out of your control and undertaking actions that will enrich your life.

During my studies in Psychology at the University of Liege, I was mainly interested in cognitive and behavioral psychology as well as in neuropsychology. These studies now form the basis of my practice with an adult population. Afterwards, while working, I continued to learn and train. Among others, I continued to learn about motivational interviewing, ACT therapy, mindfulness, psycho-education, ... As for my professional career, after several years of expertise for the justice system and work on addictions as a psychologist, my skills as a neuropsychologist have allowed me to focus on supporting people suffering from Alzheimer's disease (or another disease of the same type) as well as their loved ones and professionals in the field. At present, with the benefit of these varied experiences, I can offer you a tailor-made accompaniment, according to your needs. Whether it is a burnout, stress, anxiety, phobias, depression, bereavement, dependency or simply unhappiness, I can accompany you and, together, we will work to recover your well-being.

Je reçois des adolescents et des adultes qui rencontrent des difficultés variées (traumatisme, choc émotionnel, souffrance, anxiété….). Les patients arrivent parfois avec une problématique claire, parfois avec un questionnement plus diffus. Ensemble, nous réfléchissons aux objectifs de la thérapie. J’utilise régulièrement l’hypnose conversationnelle stratégique (hypnose PTR), qui permet de désensibiliser des éléments douloureux du passé et reprendre le contrôle. Je suis très attentive au bien être des patients, et m'adapte autant à leurs besoins que à leur rythme.

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.
