Tessa Poncelet

Licensed clinical psychologist for children, adolescents and families. I hold a bachelor's degree in psychology from Lewis & Clark College (Portland, OR, USA) and a master's degree in clinical psychology and psychopathology from the Université libre de Bruxelles (Brussels, Belgium). I am in the process of obtaining an additional master's degree in neuropsychology and am training in family and systemic psychotherapy.

I offer individual, couple or family follow-up on Monday mornings in Mérode and Thursday afternoons/evenings in Messidor.
I also offer consultations at home or by videoconference in certain cases individuals (perinatal care, reduced mobility, hospitalization, etc.)
Consultations in French and English, by appointment.

I adopt an integrative approach to psychotherapy drawing on different trends including psychoanalysis, systemics and person-centered humanist therapies. The proposed follow-up is co-constructed between the patients and myself in the most human, caring way and adapted to the specific needs of people.

I am able to think about and work with you on questions related to:
• your relationship, your couple
• the desire or not desire for a child, medically assisted procreation
• perinatal life
• parenthood and the family in its variable forms
• academic or social difficulties in children or adolescents (harassment, self-esteem, dropping out of school, mental health problems attention or learning, high potential)
• difficult transitions (bereavements, separations, life changes)
• behavioral disorders
• attachment disorders and bonding problems
• managing emotions
• anxiety, depression, eating disorders, addictions
• gender identity, sexual orientation
• migration, socio-cultural adaptation

I offer you a space of trust, completely confidential, which adapts to your context, your history and your temporality. A place where everything can be heard, everything can be said, where you can be surprised. By allowing you to put words, we mobilize your resources to try to open paths towards greater autonomy and adaptation. The meeting is privileged and respect, kindness and absence of judgment are law.
