My name is Cathy, pronounced [kéti]. Beside my work as family counselor in youth care, I guide people who feel they are stuck. You can visit me in Herentals or Westerlo for individual talk sessions or body-oriented trauma therapy.
- From an early age I was interested in what motivates people and how they relate to each other. That’s why I chose to study orthopedagogie and over the last 25 years I have continued to delve into intergenerational family patterns and social interactions between people.
- In my personal development and growth process I came across body-oriented trauma therapy and that turned out to be the missing link to real healing.
- Based on warm care, I want to work with you to create space for what wants to be felt. Together we will create a place where you experience safety to enable you to investigate the origin and meaning of fixed patterns.
- Together we explore the meaning and origin of those difficulties. Looking for the deeper meaning, sop that you have a choice again and the trauma no longer overwhelms and determines you.
