Psychologists

Ella Salgo is a licensed psychologist, graduated in Psychology in 2020 at the University of Szeged (Hungary), and specializes in CBT and systemic therapy. She has been practicing as a psychologist since 2020 and welcomes you in her office at the Centre Mon Verger in Etterbeek on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays. She can express herself in Hungarian and English.

Psychologue clinicienne et neuropsychologue, j’articule ma pratique autour de deux axes complémentaires : 

– La psychologie clinique, avec une spécialisation en psychotraumatologie et victimologie. Mes deux mémoires ont porté respectivement : sur la vie sexuelle et affective des jeunes femmes ayant vécu des viols à l’adolescence et sur les questions liées à la reconnaissance familiale dans l’inceste. Je poursuis actuellement une formation en psychanalyse groupale et familiale (à l’Université de Paris Cité) et un master de spécialisation en neuropsychiatrie.

– La neuropsychologie, que je conçois comme pleinement intégrée à la psychologie clinique, avec une spécialisation dans le TDAH. Formée notamment à l’Université de Genève et à Paris, j’assure des évaluations, une psychoéducation et une guidance parentale selon les modèles de référence (Barkley, PEPS), en m’appuyant sur des recommandations scientifiquement validées.

Dans ma pratique, je privilégie une clinique individualisée et proche du/de la patient.e, où l’écoute et l’adaptation priment. Selon moi la diversité et la complémentarité des approches psychothérapeutiques est essentielle, ce qui explique mes formations dans différents domaines et selon diverses orientations. Il m’importe d’offrir : une écoute au plus près du vécu et du discours de chacun.e, une attention particulière aux enjeux systémiques et familiaux à l’œuvre dans les difficultés rencontrées, mais aussi des outils pratiques. Mon objectif est de proposer un accompagnement souple et ajusté, qui s’adapte à chaque personne et à chaque histoire.

Psychotherapist with an analytical orientation. In addition to my private practice, I work in several health care institutions (Psychiatric Centers, Outpatient Services for drug addicts, Mental Health Services, Family Planning Centers, Maison Verte). My care practice is based on verbal exchange and its elaboration. It is an active listening that takes into account the singularity of each person as well as their request. I receive in consultation all persons struggling with a malaise, a symptom or a questioning.

Clinical psychologist, Estelle Thirifays welcomes adults and young adults for individual support in the context of various problems such as mood disorders, burn-out, addiction, emotional disorders, phobias, anxieties but also any questioning or suffering related to your personal, family or professional life. It can be a moment of crisis linked to a life event (separation, bereavement, illness) or a broader questioning. The follow-up can be short or long term depending on the request.

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

My experience in the clinical, social and pedagogical sectors has allowed me to accompany a very diverse public, seeking answers and resources in terms of well-being and life path. I offer you a caring space and a dynamic meeting place where you will find psychological support and psychotherapeutic accompaniment. Starting from your story, we will search for the meaning at the heart of your present experience, thanks to an awareness of your own values and needs, in order to engage you with confidence and coherence. My approach to helping relationships is enriched by Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Emotional Cognitive Behavioral Psychotherapy, NLP and Transactional Analysis, while adopting an ethical and humanistic posture.

I work with patients (at 13 years old) with attention disorders with or without hyperactivity and/or high potential and who are suffering. The objective is clear: to tame the chaos, the continuous fireworks in the head. Unfortunately, there is no [off] button, but there are effective strategies for learning to live with an intrusive brain and the anxiety it generates. I propose to collaborate with you so that you can create an effective toolbox to fight against the chaos that is suffocating you. Appointment by telephone or email. More info on my website!

When we are confronted with an obstacle, a stress or a particular life event, it is often interesting to ask ourselves the question: finally, why do I act like this? Have I always functioned this way? But what does change mean?

As a psychologist, I have decided to focus my practice on both the assessment and management of young adults, adults and the elderly. Psychological and neuropsychological assessments can be requested and performed for diagnostic purposes. Assessment of cognitive functions (memory, attentional functions, executive functions, language, etc.) is usually considered following a head injury, when a degenerative disease is suspected or in the context of other neurological pathologies. I also perform IQ assessments in the context of logopedic reimbursements and suspicion of high potential or mental retardation. These psychological and neuropsychological assessments can also be performed in the context of psychological expertises. In therapy, the persons I receive are confronted with various problems such as a psychological trauma, a personality disorder, depression, malaise, anxiety, anxiety attacks, burnout, professional difficulties, harassment (moral and/or sexual), bereavement, etc.
