I believe that the quality of our relationships determine the quality of our being. I therefore focus on navigating my clients through interpersonal challenges, conflicts and isolation and psychological symptoms that they may experience as a result of this. Being an expat myself my practice in Belgium is focussed on assisting expats and internationals in their process of adjusting to the new culture and country. Expatriation can easily leave you feeling overwhelmed and deeply isolated, amplifying "cracks" in your relationships.

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.
