Health professionals for Psychotherapy in Etterbeek

Ma tâche première est d’évaluer et mobiliser, avec votre aide, vos ressources, vos compétences et vos capacités de résilience face à ce que vous traversez. Tel est la croyance qui m’anime. Fort de mon expérience et de mes formations, je vous offre un espace, bienveillant et sécurisé, à une approche qui ouvre à un choix important de stratégies thérapeutiques et d’outils pratiques destinés à favoriser votre créativité.

Inspiré par ma propre multi-culturalité, je suis thérapeute familial et éducateur de formation. J'ai très vite été sensibilisé au travail auprès des familles. Avec plus de 10 ans d’expérience dans ce domaine et 7 ans au sein d’une unité de psychiatrie infanto-juvenile à Bruxelles. Parallèlement, j'ai choisi d’entreprendre une spécialisation en psychothérapie systémique au CEFS (centre d’étude des familles et des systèmes). Grâce à ses multiples casquettes, je vous propose un accompagnement tant en individuel, qu’en couple (conjugal ou parental) mais aussi en famille. L’approche que je vous propose est globale et vous invite à prendre une position méta pour ainsi observer les interactions entre les membres d’un même système (familial, professionnel, social, etc.). Elle se distingue des autres approches par sa façon de comprendre les relations humaines au sein de votre système. En effet, l'individu n’est pas le seul élément analysé dans la démarche. On part du principe que l’histoire de la famille ou du système agit sur l’individu et que ce dernier transporte avec lui des valeurs, des émotions et des comportements véhiculés par la famille/le système et ceci depuis plusieurs générations.

Diplômé depuis 1998, j'accompagne toute personne confrontée à des difficultés, en situation de mal-être ou de souffrance, quelles qu’en soient les manifestations ( difficultés relationnelles ou professionnelles, anxiété, angoisse, isolement, addiction, phobies, dépression, troubles du sommeil, burn-out …). L’accompagnement se fait par une écoute attentive visant à permettre un apaisement ainsi que la découverte de solutions personnelles. Le suivi peut être ponctuel ou engagé sur du plus long terme en fonction des besoins et des attentes de chacun. Je reçois les adultes et les adolescents.Ma pratique est fondée sur l’approche psychanalytique et sur l’approche psychothérapeutique institutionnelle.

As a certified clinical psychologist (ULB), I work with teenagers & adults using an integrative approach, which draws from EMDR, psychoanalysis & systemic psychology. My practice provides culturally adapted care, is trauma-informed & person-centered, with an awareness & sensitivity around questions of identity. My professional experience within psychiatric services has trained me to welcome a multiplicity of internal conflicts, with an active listening to the person’s vitality, resourcefulness & creativity. In addition, my practice as a dance therapist brings in the somatic dimension, which considers the body as a person’s moving memory. Sessions can be held in 5 languages: English, French, Greek, Portuguese, Spanish. The therapeutic encounter aims to create a caring space where you could gain momentum to deploy & express yourself, in order to explore your life narrative & what is currently preoccupying you. We will work together to find more “degrees of freedom” in your life & to digest the experiences you carry within you. I invite you to a space of empowerment & reappropriation, where the rewriting of your narrative opens up different doors within you. The psychotherapeutic tools I propose come from the systemic approach (family coat of arms, genograms…), as well as the somatic approach (breathwork, progressive muscle relaxation, mental visualisations…), which will also reinforce your resilience. I accompany & support you in what preoccupies you, your inner conflicts & your life questions, in order to reinvent together, in individual consultations: • a space for you, where you may breathe & take a step back • a space for emotional expression • a way to let your fears & anxieties exist, translate them & find solace • a way to pass through trauma or complex trauma • your relationship to others & to the world • your identities & how they are woven together • the meaning of specific events that have stayed with you • your vital pillars, to strengthen your resilience • the way you feel in your body & you listen to your body • your scripts/roles in your family or group dynamics • how you listen to your needs & the way you place your limits in your life. Depending on your request, I offer occasional or more sustained sessions of 45 min.

Trained in CBT, I specialize in anxiety, mood, OCD, panic, bipolar, and psychotic disorders. Employing a warm, collaborative approach, I aim to equip you with the necessary tools for long-term mental well-being.

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.
