MY WAY OF WORKING

Have you lived through painful or destabilizing events — war, violence, forced migration, or the loss of your home? Psychological trauma can take many forms, whether linked to a single event or repeated experiences over time. I offer a safe, compassionate space to process these wounds at your own pace.

As a psychologist trained in the person-centered approach (approche centrée sur la personne), I welcome individuals from all backgrounds, including refugees, asylum seekers, and migrants living in Belgium. My work is grounded in empathy, respect, and active listening, helping you regain a sense of safety, identity, and inner strength.

If you're dealing with post-traumatic stress, emotional numbness, nightmares, or chronic anxiety linked to your past, know that you're not alone — and healing is possible.

Moving to a new country can be both a hopeful and destabilizing experience. Whether you arrived recently or years ago, the challenges of immigration, cultural adaptation, and identity reconstruction can feel overwhelming. You may find yourself torn between two cultures, struggling with loneliness, guilt, homesickness, or pressure to “adapt.”

I offer a safe, empathetic space where you can explore the emotional impact of migration, your evolving identity, and the complexities of starting over. Together, we can address a range of issues, including:

• Intercultural      relationships and shifting family dynamics
• Language      barriers and feelings of isolation or exclusion
• Experiences      of discrimination, racism, or not feeling “at home”

As a psychologist with lived experience of migration, I work in deep respect of your story, culture, and strengths — to help you reconnect with yourself and find your place, here and now.

Experiencing abuse — whether sexual, emotional, physical, or psychological — can leave deep, long-lasting impacts on your sense of self, safety, and relationships. These experiences may lead to symptoms such as depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress (PTSD), emotional numbness, or difficulty trusting others.

As a psychologist using the person-centered approach, my role is not to diagnose or “fix” you, but to walk alongside you as you make sense of what happened and reconnect with your inner strength. I offer a safe, respectful, and confidential space where you can express yourself freely, at your own pace, without pressure.

Together, we work toward understanding and navigating the emotional consequences of sexual violence, domestic abuse, or other toxic relationships — always with compassion, care, and deep respect for your story.

Not everyone experiences the world the same way — and that’s not only okay, it’s valuable. Neurodiversity includes a wide range of ways of thinking, feeling, and processing the world, such as ADHD, autism, high sensitivity, or non-linear thinking. These differences can be sources of creativity, insight, and resilience — but they may also come with challenges in a world that often expects us to “fit in.”

In therapy, I don’t try to “normalize” or correct your experience. Instead, we explore together what works for you. I adapt my approach creatively, offering a flexible, respectful, and supportive space that honours your unique way of thinking and being. Your differences are not something to fix — they are something to understand, value, and work with.

Who says you need to sit still and talk to your psychologist? If you feel like brainstorming on a whiteboard, standing up, pacing around, using fidget toys, or expressing yourself through drawing — all of that is welcome. Therapy doesn't have to look one way. What matters most is that you feel heard, understood, and mentally and emotionally engaged in a way that works for you.

Understanding your sexuality can be a journey full of questions and discovery. Whether you are exploring your sexual orientation, figuring out your desires, or navigating intimate relationships, therapy provides a safe, non-judgmental space to express your feelings and doubts. Together, we work at your pace to build self-acceptance, clarify your identity, and address challenges like coming out, internalized stigma, or relationship issues.

Gender identity is a deeply personal experience that doesn’t always fit into clear categories. Whether you’re questioning your gender, identifying as transgender, non-binary, or genderfluid, or facing challenges related to your gender expression, I offer a supportive, respectful environment to explore your feelings and experiences. Therapy can help you understand your gender journey, manage dysphoria or social pressures, and find ways to express yourself authentically and comfortably.

Healthy relationships and a fulfilling sex life are essential parts of well-being, but they can also bring confusion, conflict, or dissatisfaction. Whether you’re struggling with communication, intimacy issues, trust, boundaries, or sexual difficulties, therapy offers a confidential space to explore these challenges honestly. Together, we’ll work on understanding your needs, improving connection, and navigating the complexities of love and sex in a way that respects your values and desires.
