I have a degree in psychological and pedagogical sciences (ULB) and I am an accredited psychologist and member of the Commission des Psychologues (accreditation number 712207511).
I first worked for a long time in the intercultural and psychosocial aid sector.
My experience in development cooperation in Chile and Bolivia has enriched me a lot. I enjoy meeting other cultures and environments. I am fascinated by the discovery of different ways of thinking.
About fifteen years ago, I opened my own psychological practice in Brussels (Etterbeek). I receive clients in French and Spanish.
My mentors
My career as a psychotherapist is influenced by various currents. I have done a lot of personal (psychoanalytical) work, which is essential for helping others. The humanistic approach and its values of authenticity, respect and trust in the other deeply influence my work. The creativity and optimism of Milton Erickson (founder of the new hypnosis) also touched me a lot.
Milton Erickson saw the unconscious as a great reservoir of resources that we can draw on. Far from pathologising people, he saw in them the strengths they have.
I really enjoy working with sophrology and hypnosis: experiencing and having people experience the “modified state of consciousness”. Most people are amazed at how easy it is, under hypnosis, to release the pressure. In today’s society, dominated by the pressure for profitability, efficiency or excellence, it seems to me imperative to give oneself a time for oneself: a time where there is nothing else to do but to let oneself be.
I am currently continuing my supervision and training in the field of mindfulness, virtual reality therapy and person-centred therapy.
