About
I continued my education in the field of psychology over the last twenty years, completing a Master in Clinical Psychology in Barcelona and PhD in Medical Sciences at the Institute of Psychiatry and Neurology in Warsaw. Currently I am accredited clinical psychologist in Belgium, where I work in a private practice. I tailor therapeutic interventions to the needs of clients, including traditional CBT approaches, as well as acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), mindfulness approaches and schema therapy. On a more personal note, for most part of my adult life I have been an expat myself, living in the UK, Spain and Belgium. Therefore, I am aware of the challenges people meet on this journey from both professional and personal perspective. Psychologist ixelles
Currently I am happily settled into expat life in Brussels. Psychologist ixelles
My approach
I proceed from developing a view of the problem with the client in a supportive and respectful manner. This is followed by identification of personalised, therapy goals and interventions to address them, mostly derived from traditional and so called « third wave » CBT approaches. The sessions may alternate with solution-focused brief therapy to facilitate the collaborative problem-solving.
We may make a step into your past and work with schema therapy. The process involves active participation during sessions and integrates homework into the working method.
