Psychologists in Region of Namur

Many preconceived ideas still surround the profession of psychologist, but consulting a psychologist does not mean being crazy, being sick or being weak, on the contrary. To consult a psychologist is to be aware of your difficulties and to accept that a professional will accompany you through a difficult time in your life.

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.

Clinical behavioral psychologist with a Master's degree in psychotherapy, trained in Coaching, Brief Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). She holds a Certificate from the Training Institute for Parental Burnout: "Understanding, diagnosing and preventing parental burnout". My interviews are dynamic. They are not interviews where you talk in a vacuum. I guide the reflection, I share my impressions. Together we look for solutions to improve our well-being or to accept our experiences and thoughts, while respecting the rhythm and personality of each person. I draw a lot of inspiration from positive psychology in my therapeutic follow-ups. This does not consist in idealizing the world nor in denying the psychological sufferings (on the contrary) but in managing to see beyond these sufferings. Psychological distress encloses most of us and the objective of the therapeutic follow-up will be to increase psychological flexibility in order to encourage commitment to actions that contribute to the construction of a rich and meaningful existence. The therapies that I propose aim to teach a new way of living with our past suffering or our future anxieties. They defuse the excessive influence of our emotions on our behavior by showing us that we should not believe everything we think (e.g. anxiety attacks). In short, if we suffer, we are anxious, we worry, it is because life has meaning and rather than dwell too long on our dysfunctions, we will find and reconnect to what is really important for each of us! The goal is to move towards our values (which our thoughts and emotions often prevent us from doing). These therapies are similar to coaching. Accepting what cannot be changed and engaging in what can be changed. These are 50 minute sessions. The frequency and duration of the therapy is based on the needs of the patient. In addition to this private practice, I work in a prison health promotion center. I obtained my master's degree in psychology in 2003 and completed a complementary master's degree in psychotherapy at the Université Catholique de Louvain in June 2012. I mainly intervene in the following issues: Relational and emotional difficulties, Anxiety and depressive disorders, Ruminative thoughts, Anxiety attacks, Lack of self-confidence, Poor self-esteem, Lack of self-assertion, Poor management of emotions, Parental burnout, Sexual abuse issues, Professional difficulties, School difficulties
