Psychologist for Mourning in Ramillies

A psychologist by training, I began training in hippotherapy and animal mediation at the beginning of my master's degree. During my studies I was particularly interested in issues such as harassment, palliative care, parenthood and disability. I continue to educate myself in these different areas through various trainings. I work in a therapy center from Monday to Saturday in Chaumont-Gistoux and in parallel I participate in the implementation and supervision of the pedagogical project of the Asbl Rire et grandir which welcomes children from 0 to 5 years old. Different issues can be worked on during therapy sessions: -disability -burn-out -palliative care -support in the face of illness -mourning support -harassment -personal development

I am a psychologist who likes to enrich myself and explore the different dimensions of our human potential. My personal research and professional choices have put me in direct contact with different psychological approaches: group dynamics and organizational analysis, humanistic and mind-body approach, systemic analysis and therapeutic metaphor, sand tray, holistic massage, meditation, Tibetan yoga, positive psychology, art therapy, professional coaching. I also enjoy traveling and discovering different cultures (Europe, India, China, Tibet, Russia) and Eastern philosophy is part of my spiritual nourishment Admiring our human creativity, I have been involved in theater projects such as clowning and dancing, picked up brushes to play with the power of painting and dabbled in photography. Among my professional experiences, I have worked in the youth care sector with children, teenagers and families, in the disabled care sector with supervisory staff, in socio-professional integration with job seekers from different sectors of activity. I had the opportunity to write a career guidance program for women who wanted to work in so-called male professions. In parallel, I facilitated a private consultation and conducted interventions in asbl. In 2019, at 54 years old, I decided to create this project to accompany people and organized systems (entrepreneurs, services, small and medium-sized enterprises). This project is a synthesis of a rich and non-linear professional path. In terms of my values, I am guided by: - non-violence, inner disarmament, in fact I should speak of benevolence, but currently this word has too many different connotations and it leads to confusion in the social and economic world - dialogue and altruism : I combine these two values to give a direction to the dialogue and give it an operational aspect, a relational meaning: altruism - lifelong education - global responsibility for our words and actions. From this point of view, I move away from personal development focused only on the person. I am committed to a search for balance between private and professional life coupled with values such as patience, fair effort, tolerance, joy and taking global responsibility on an individual level. environmental responsibility: I would like to leave my children a place where they will be happy and where they can live in peace and flourish. These values intersect with my needs for freedom and fulfillment, creativity, harmony with others, inner peace, search for happiness, authenticity and fulfillment in my professional actions.

Psychologue clinicienne, je suis diplômée d’un master en psychologie de l’enfant, de l’adolescent et de la famille à l’UCLouvain. Au centre Anima Corpus, je propose des suivis individuels pour les enfants à partir de 5 ans ainsi que pour les adolescents.

J’ai à cœur d’accueillir chaque enfant et chaque adolescent dans un espace bienveillant et sécurisant, où ils peuvent se sentir libres d’être pleinement eux-mêmes, tant dans leurs ressources que dans leurs fragilités.

Chaque enfant, chaque adolescent étant unique, je veille à adapter mon accompagnement au rythme et à la sensibilité de chacun. J’utilise différentes médiations telles que le jeu, le dessin, les cartes, les livres ou encore d’autres outils créatifs qui favorisent l’expression et accompagnent le jeune dans l’exploration de ses émotions, de ses sensations et de ses besoins.

Je suis membre de la Commission des Psychologues, disposant du VISA et de l'agrément. Un remboursement partiel des consultations est donc possible via votre mutuelle.
