Hi, I'm France... from Belgium
​
 

My passion for therapeutic work has grown organically over time. Between 2011 and 2023, I guided international and online groups on their journeys toward well-being and personal growth through creative methods such as art journaling

. Over the years, I brought more and more depth to my approach, further developing my therapeutic work through specialized training and my own background. This led to a natural evolution into what my practice is today: a space for deep-seated therapy and coaching rooted in Conceptual interaction (Interactionele Vormgeving). 

 

Today, my creativity is no longer bound to a single method. Instead, it lives in intuitively finding the exact therapeutic approach that fits your unique inner world at any given moment. In my therapy space, you don't have to talk when words are simply out of reach; we can work with whatever is present in the room. It is a safe harbor where all the layers of your story are welcomed. Together, we explore your protective layers in all calmness, awakening your resilience and reclaiming your self-direction. 

​

My mission:

"To create an open, judgment-free space that looks beneath the layers to help people make sense of their experiences, so that they can regain their sense of safety and take agency over their lives."

Resilience: 
To me, resilience is not an achievement, nor is it the ability to constantly remain strong. It is the deep knowledge that your authentic core is always there, no matter how deeply hidden it may have become due to circumstances or exhaustion. I look beyond the survival mechanisms and the mask. In my practice, we don’t follow a rigid agenda; instead, I create the calm and safety needed for that inner foundation to be felt once again. To me, resilience means gently reclaiming the space to function within your own energy, entirely on your own terms. 

Safety:
Building a relationship of trust is essential. Together we create a safe environment in which you feel free to speak openly about your thoughts and feelings. I see it as my fundamental responsibility to provide an atmosphere of deep, non-judgmental acceptance.

Warmth: 
To me, warmth means a gentle, human presence that serves as a resting point. A place where your overstimulated mind and nervous system can finally calm down, simply because you don’t have to sit with it alone. My commitment is genuine and open. I offer a space where you do not have to perform or meet the expectations of the outside world. By bringing kind attention and a respectful connection to what is alive inside you, we organically create the space needed to softly restore the relationship with yourself — and with all the unique layers of who you are.

Challenge:
To me, a deep feeling of being stuck is not the final destination, but a starting point. Every person carries immense resilience within them, even if you cannot see it yourself right now. I deeply believe in the saying: “You weren’t buried, you were planted.” When it feels like you are in the dark, I see that as the soil in which you can take root, so you can start moving forward from there. Because without movement, there is no change — and change is exactly what you long for. I am a warm, creative, and committed professional who does not shy away from naming difficult or painful matters when it is helpful to do so. Together, we will gently push the boundaries of what feels safe, stepping outside your comfort zone with deliberate steps to actively reclaim control over your life.

Authenticity:
I believe in the power of authenticity. You can be completely yourself, without judgement. Together we will discover and leverage your unique story to create a life that is in alignment with your true self, coherent with your energy.

Integrative:
We involve all aspects within the therapy: thinking, feeling, wanting and acting. But also all aspects of your being: the mental, emotional, physical, energetic and spiritual. To this end, we use working methods that match your needs and questions: conversation, setup, mindfulness exercises, creative or even playful techniques.

I look forward to working with you on your well-being and the changes you seek. Please contact us to discover how therapy can positively impact your life.
