Trainings in small groups
In my trainings you reconnect with yourself, and learn to live from there. We work with Focusing and ACT. Words, images and movement help you feel and express what's on your mind. No skills are needed: what counts is what you experience.
The trainings take place at my practice in Antwerp, in a small group of up to six participants. The group supports you, so you can go through your own process at your own pace. Prefer to work one-to-one? I'm developing an individual programme for that.
The trainings are a form of coaching. They can be a first introduction to this work, or a way to go deeper alongside therapy, with me or elsewhere. If you're looking for support with a mental health issue, individual therapy is a better place to start.
Trainings in Dutch and in English.
Beyond What You Already Know
A two-day Focusing programme
You often live in your head. You think a lot, about yourself and about everything that needs doing. But what do you actually feel? What do you really want? That connection with yourself is what has got lost.
For these two days you set aside what you think you know about yourself. We listen to your body and to what lives within you, even when you don't have words for it yet. Through Focusing, and with words, images and movement, you discover a quiet wisdom within yourself that was always there. Everything is welcome, at your own pace. You never have to share anything you don't want to.
You go home with a way of checking in with yourself that you can keep using, and with a clearer view of what truly matters to you.
- Two days, one week apart, plus a deepening session 4 to 6 weeks later
- Up to six participants, at my practice in Antwerp

Living from Within
A two-day Focusing & ACT programme
You keep getting stuck in the same situations. You react the way you always do, even though you'd like to do it differently. Your mind comes up with the same solutions, and the step towards living differently never comes.
In this programme you first look at your patterns: how you get stuck, which habits you reach for, and what they give you and cost you. Then you take a situation inwards: what lives in you around this situation, in your body? From there, something new often wants to move. You discover what truly matters to you, and with ACT you translate that into concrete steps.
This way you learn a cycle you can always return to when life throws something at you: getting stuck, turning inwards, listening, acting. And again.
For anyone who notices that insight alone isn't enough to live differently. You can join straight away, or first complete the programme Beyond What You Already Know .

Special edition June 2027
Together with Sabine Driessen, I am giving a two-day edition of this training at Wilgenroosje, Zandhoven, on 4 and 5 June 2027.
Deepening days
For those who already have experience with Focusing
Do you already have experience with Focusing, or do you guide others yourself? Then a deepening day invites you to go further. Each day is centred on one form of expression, such as drawing or movement. You discover how that form of expression deepens your Focusing, and how you can bring it into your own life or your work with others.
I am planning the first deepening days in the course of 2027. Interested? Let me know and I'll keep you posted.
Coming Home to Yourself
An individual programme, in development
Sometimes you want to do this work at your own pace, with full attention for your question. Without a group, at times that suit your life. That's why I am developing an individual programme in which you travel the whole way one-to-one.
First you reconnect with yourself, beyond what you already know. Then you look at your patterns, discover what truly matters to you, and translate that into concrete steps. Everything applied to your own situations. Along the way we look together at how what you discover finds a place in your daily life. You work with words, images and movement, tailored to what helps you most.
What you can expect:
- a free introductory conversation, to see together whether this programme suits your question
- a series of individual sessions, spread over a few months
- moments to reflect on how it lands in your daily life
- a personal set of materials to keep working with
This programme is a form of coaching. If you have a mental health issue or a clinical request for help, individual therapy is the right place. In the introductory conversation we look together at what suits you best.
Interested? Let me know and I'll keep you posted as soon as the programme starts.
