As a Jungian psychodynamic counsellor, I offer individual sessions for adolescents, young adults, and adults via Zoom or WhatsApp, in English, French, or Dutch. I am Belgian (Flemish or Dutch-speaking), spent 9 years studying and working in the UK and the US, and have lived in France for 15 years. I have experience supporting English speakers and expats, and teach English for psychologists at the University of Western Brittany (UBO). Additionally, I write and speak on various Jungian topics and actively participate in international conferences.
I have experience in the following areas: early trauma, emotional dependency, anxiety, relational difficulties, lack of energy or purpose in life, hypersensitivity, giftedness, grief, major life transitions, loneliness and isolation, eating disorders, obsessions, feeling different, questions related to gender identity, sexuality, and self-expression, ...
The therapeutic relationship is essential. I create a non-judgmental space where you can freely explore your thoughts and feelings. I help you delve into your unconscious to honor the needs of both your inner and outer worlds while providing you with tools to live in harmony with your deepest values and desires.
