I am Dhana De Ville and have been working as a clinical psychologist since 2001. In 2008 I was part of the team of primary psychologists from Aalst. My former employers are Uz Gent (2001), Asz Aalst (2008) and CAW De Visserij Gent (2008).

I consult every Monday afternoon from 1pm to 6pm at Rue de Tenbosch 85, office n°4. My main objective is to provide psychological support to my patients, using attentive and empathetic listening.

Systemic therapy teaches us that the symptom "says something" to members of the community (often the family and/or the social-professional milieu) in terms of changing relationships. When did the symptoms emerge? What was happening at that time in the environment, the relational context? What new events have disrupted the balance? The therapy will therefore be interested in present and past relationships in order to understand what, if anything, is being replayed in terms of adjusting emotional distances, affects that have been "affected" and that have triggered the appearance of difficulties, of "ill-being". Offering a guarantee of professional listening equipped by university training and experience is certainly important and primordial, it is the necessary condition for therapy, but in my opinion it is not sufficient. To offer a secure framework by creating a climate of confidence where the humanity which is in each one of us finds its rightful place, such is the state of mind of the consultation. A warm welcome, benevolence, kindness, empathy, non-judgment and unconditional respect for the patient's "experiences" while adopting an unconditional positive attitude towards the person, who he is, are the key words and milestones that must order the "patient-therapist" encounter.

I accompany you at your own pace, in welcoming and exploring your difficulties and resources, in connection with your history. Body awareness work (breathing, movement, voice) helps you to reconnect to yourself (sensations, emotions) and to release tensions. Verbalization and analysis allow you to make sense of your experience and to integrate the desired changes into your daily life. Individual or couple coaching: as a Marriage and Family Counselor, the relationship is at the heart of my practice. I offer support to explore together the different aspects of your relationship: identity, intimacy, sexuality, roles, parenting,... so that together you can find what suits you best. Support for which requests? o Problems and suffering in the relational, affective and sexual sphere. o Questions of parenthood. o Suffering at work, burnout situation, feeling of impasse. o Questioning about the life project/professional project. o Questions of identity, of the place and limits of self/others. o Hypersensitivity. Symptoms can be overwhelming emotions, anxiety and depressive disorders, stress, chronic tension, self-esteem disorders, etc.

As a licensed clinical psychologist (ULB), I welcome you (children, teenagers, and adults) to support you in your quest, your questions, and, above all, to help improve your quality of life.

I strive to support initiatives that encourage personal growth. My work is synonymous with supporting your journey. My approach involves hypnosis, an excellent tool for desensitizing, healing emotional and traumatic pain, or even strengthening what you already have.

Together, we can explore your questions, find solutions to the difficulties you are experiencing, develop your emotional and communication skills, initiate change, establish benchmarks, or simply find someone to listen and provide support—in individual, couple, or family consultations. Whether you have a vague or precise idea of ​​what you want to discuss, you will find a place where you can speak freely and with support, in a protected environment*.
