Psychologists in Ixelles

J'ai choisi de devenir psychologue d'abord pour comprendre mon fonctionnement interne, me libérer de mes pensées obscures. Grâce aux outils proposés par la psychologie clinique, cette introspection m'a permis de me libérer, de déjouer les "patterns" de ma psyché qui m'empêchaient de m'émanciper. Ces "patterns" , causés par un environnement nocif, nous enferment dans nos peurs et nous limitent à notre zone de confort. Pour déjouer cette angoisse fondamentale, il faut apprendre à affronter ces peurs, ces angoisses. C'est pourquoi j'ai mis en place pour moi-même et pour mes patients, de pratiquer l'apprentissage par l'erreur. de surmonter ces peurs et d'appréhender la souffrance comme étant une étape nécessaire à l'apprentissage. Ma mission maintenant consiste à transmettre ce savoir. ces outils qui permettent de décortiquer notre fonctionnement psychique. aux générations futures et à ceux comme moi qui se sont enfermés dans une routine d'immobilisme. Mes inspirations proviennent de la psychologie systémique mais aussi plus récemment des travaux de J. Peterson et d'I. Yalom. Si en lisant ces quelques lignes, vous vous sentez angoissé et n'osez pas faire le pas de suivre une thérapie, alors je vous invite à ressentir pleinement cette sensation: le "symptôme" que vous subissez en ce moment est un indicateur. c'est le voyant du tableau de bord qui vous indique une panne, ensemble nous pourrons peut-être identifier la cause et y apposer un remède.

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.

I have a master's degree in Clinical Psychology and Psychopathology from the ULB with a specialization in parenting support from the UCL. Using an integrative approach that reconciles psychoanalysis, behavioral and humanistic therapies, I propose that we work together in the understanding and resolution of problematic situations. Understanding the conceptual and cultural framework of others is the basis of the work I propose to undertake. Having worked in Latin America and practicing with expatriates, I attach particular importance to language, which can bring valuable subtleties to the therapeutic work. I receive in French as well as in Portuguese. The modalities and rhythm of the sessions will be determined during the first meetings where we will be able to identify the nature of the problem. I receive clients at the Mimosa Center in Brussels on Mondays and Saturdays for individual, family or couple counselling. My consultations are aimed at teenagers, adults and elderly people to whom I offer home follow-ups if necessary.

Who am I? If this question seems simple on the surface, it actually encompasses a subtle mix of meanings, values, representations, experiences, images, skills and much more. It seems very difficult to answer this question in a few lines, but that is what I am going to do in order to give you the most accurate picture possible of the therapist that I am. My experience has shown me that the difficulties encountered by individuals are often linked to relational and emotional axes. I apply effective psychotherapy techniques to help patients understand themselves and to encourage them to adopt new attitudes in the face of the challenges they face. I approach the difficulties encountered by my patients through a systemic axis that includes all of your inter-personal relationships as well as through a more behavioral axis that will aim to focus on your thought patterns, in other words, your way of perceiving and interpreting the world around you. I also use Ericksonian hypnosis which allows me to work very effectively on a set of daily difficulties with a focus on your emotional feelings rather than your personal history. It is essential to keep in mind that therapy is not a magic formula that will instantly solve all your problems, but a process that requires as much investment from the patient as from the therapist. In the end, small changes such as learning to deal with feelings of sadness or fear can lead to big wins. I seek to foster your own reflection and resources so that you can reconnect with yourself. My approach to therapy advocates a non-pathological reading of your experience in order to work collaboratively with you in a trusting relationship for the short or long term depending on your needs. With a Master's degree in Public Law and Political Science, I decided to complete my training with a degree in Clinical Psychology in order to be able to be closer to the difficulties of the people I accompany. I am also trained in Ericksonian Hypnosis, a diploma certified by l'Arche, Paris, and also in Multidimensional Family Therapy (MDFT), a diploma from the psychiatry department of the Brugmann Hospital, in order to be able to help couples and families effectively. Concerning my passions, I am a dancer and musician, music producer, beatmaker, multi-instrumentalist. Dance and music are for me two privileged means of expression with considerable resources.
