INTRODUCTION
Life doesn’t always bring what we expect of it. More frequently than not it’s like a sinuous path with unexpected bends and ascents.
Life itself challenges us to question ourselves, to adapt or not, to accept or to fight…
Life is one big movement and as such seems to demand that we ourselves keep moving as well, not just in the physical sense of the word, but also concerning our personality, our look out on life, our attitudes towards so many people and things.
Sometimes we feel somewhat lost in this continuous changing process. We are confronted with questions and feelings arise that make us uncomfortable.
It is not a coincidence that the symbol chosen for this practice is  : the sign of everlasting change, the symbol of the I-Tsjing, an old Chinese oracle book. Change is inherent to life. When no harm is being inflicted, no change or choice is inherently good or bad, provided that we remain faithful to ourselves, to our own nature. Change is not something that can be brought about in a jiffie, because we think of it. Change requires an often sustained effort.
During the sessions I therefore strive to bring to the fore these sometimes difficult or painful feelings that announce themselves, because I am confident and convinced that being capable of looking at oneself can lead to significant change in the way we deal with ourselves and our lives.
This means that I engage myself, but that I also expect commitment.
This search is a very personal matter and strongly dependent on your expectations. It is therefore essential that we check whether or not our mutual expectations meet. Research has shown just how important a feeling of personal ‘agreement’ between counselor and client is for a successful working relationship. If this feeling is not present, I insist on helping you to find the psychologist that will ‘fit’ you.
My professional background can be summarized as follows: I am a clinical psychologist, specialized in adults (KULeuven, erkenningsnummer 602, 105, 919) and a counselor in client centered and Gestalt therapy (FMS, Turnhout).
I keep ‘moving’ with regular intervision (discussions with colleagues), literature and seminars. I spent several years of my career in the business world and this has helped me greatly to be able to understand the demands of the life style most of us have to face nowadays.
