About me
Born, raised and trained in Belgium, I decided to make the jump to live and work as an expat in Czech Republic. I am living in Prague, where I provide psychotherapeutic services in English and Dutch.
I am trained in both sexology and gestalt psychotherapy.
I do online and face-to-face sessions with individuals and couples.
I have 9 years of experiences in mental health services and sexology, of which 5 years as a psychotherapist.
My work as a therapist is regularly supervised with a supervisor and in cooperation with colleagues. I am accredited by the Czech Association for Psychotherapy (n°65784528). During my stay in Belgium, I was a member and leader of the board of the Flemish Society for Sexology

Approach
Whether you come for individual or couples therapy, we look at the symptoms or issues you come in with and try to understand them in broadest meaning of the word. Rather than think "what is wrong with me/us", my goal with you is how your struggles do make sense. I use approaches that combine cognitive, embodied, existential and emotional elements, depending on what presents itself.
Therapy is a collaborative process, a co-creation between you and me. Your motivation is key to our progress, and together, we will set meaningful goals that lead you towards a more meaningful, satisfying life. Sometimes that can mean you need a space to rest, reflect and be listened to.
Couples (sex) therapy are not about finding fault or mistake but about promoting understanding and growth. It can be a valuable resource for couples at any stage of their relationship, whether you're seeking to strengthen a strong partnership, address specific sexual concerns, or explore new dimensions of your connection. Every relationship goes through stages that demand different approaches. Ultimately, it's an investment in the health and longevity of your relationship, offering the opportunity for greater connection, harmony, and fulfillment, both emotionally and sexually.
As a sexologist, I take into account the biological aspects of sexuality as well. Our biology is in a way our boundary within which we can experience sexuality. I work with a bio-psycho-social model of sex and as such can recommend a referral to medical health services.
