Somatic Therapists in Liège
Life with a chronic illness often comes with many challenges. Changes to work, social life, and identity, alongside ongoing physical symptoms, can take a significant toll. If you then add in navigating a foreign health system, in your non-native language, without your extended social network, this can feel really overwhelming.

I offer integrative, trauma-informed therapy combining art therapy with cognitive, somatic and psychodynamic approaches, including CBT, Gestalt, parts-based work and when helpful, Brainspotting.
Your life looks fine on the outside but inside you still feel stuck or disconnected. Maybe you have already done a lot of work on yourself: read the books, listened to podcasts, tried talk therapy, asked AI for answers, or travelled a lot. And still the same feelings return, the same questions persist. You understand your patterns but you feel trapped in them. Beyond coping, you want something deeper: real insight into your old wounds, to discover your blind spots, and to know parts of yourself you have not yet fully met. If you are open to a creative, depth-oriented therapy, I think we could do meaningful work together.

Somatic experiencing, which taps into the body's hidden wisdom, lends itself to this undertaking.
There is no ideal client. Therapists must adapt to a broad variety of clients. who present a broad variety of issues, needs, goals and openness to therapy. Consequently, a competent therapist must be extremely flexible. Such flexibility must be assiduously cultivated on a life-long basis. Creativity must come to fore in this respect.

Whether you are navigating migration, career changes, parenthood, or trauma, I offer a tailored approach blending Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT) & somatic (body-centered) therapy because emotions & mental states are embodied and experienced through bodily sensations.
I work with adults & young adults, particularly those navigating life transitions, shifting identities, or feeling pushed to the margins of society (welcome migrants, students, queer, and neurodivergent individuals). Clients often come to me facing stress, burnout, existential anxiety, or feeling disconnected from themselves and their bodies. In my practice, we co-construct a safe(r), non-oppressive space where you can (re-)connect with your body and your true desires. Together, we unpack how your personal story intersects with broader systems, helping you reclaim your agency, set boundaries, and move forward in an authentic way.

I offer Somatic Experiencing (SE) and NARM sessions — body-based, integrative approaches that work with the nervous system to release the effects of shock trauma.
My clients are adults who have experienced shock trauma — accidents, assaults, falls, medical procedures, or war — and feel that something has shifted inside them since. They may struggle with sleep, feel constantly on edge, or sense a disconnection from themselves they can't quite explain. Some have tried talk therapy but feel that words alone don't reach what they carry. They come looking for an approach that works with the body, gently and without having to relive what happened. Together, we help their nervous system find safety again

Hoofdtraject:
ADHD bij volwassenen
Voor volwassenen met ADHD, brain fog, motivatieproblemen of concentratieklachten. Ik combineer kPNI, orthomoleculaire therapie en neuropsychologie - zodat we niet alleen de gedragslaag aanpakken, maar ook de biologische basis eronder.
Een officiële diagnose is niet nodig om te starten - klachten zijn voldoende.
Daarnaast kunnen er ook diagnostische trajecten opgestart worden (neuropsychologisch onderzoek).

Somatic Counsellors
How does somatic therapy work?
Somatic therapy is a form of treatment that focuses on how the body and mind are interconnected. In this approach, physical symptoms are addressed because they may in fact signal emotional distress. Somatic therapists combine mindfulness, talk therapy, breathwork, yoga, dance, and physical manipulations of the body to help patients become more attuned to what their body is telling them.
Is EMDR a somatic therapy?
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a form of somatic therapy, as it incorporates mental and physical principles. EMDR involves remembering a traumatic experience while allowing one’s eyes to track a side-to-side visual stimulus from a therapist. This lateral eye movement is believed to diminish the painful power of the memory so that it can be discussed with a therapist.
Is somatic therapy evidence-based?
Somatic therapy has been researched and studied, and some forms of somatic therapy are found to be effective in treating a wide range of conditions. Because somatic therapy encompasses many techniques, some, such as EMDR and meditation, have been studied more than others.
What is somatic trauma therapy?
Somatic trauma therapy is based on the idea that when people experience trauma, they can become stuck in the “freeze” part of a “fight, flight, or freeze” response. In this state, trauma can manifest itself both mentally and physically—through tension in the muscles, anxiety, and stress. Popular forms of somatic trauma therapy include EMDR, sensorimotor therapy, and somatic experiencing.
