Why therapy in your own language matters
Many expats and newcomers in Brussels put off getting support because they don't want to explain their feelings in French or Dutch. Here, you don't have to translate yourself.
Feel truly understood
Nuance, humour, the exact word for how you feel: talking to a psychologist in English means nothing gets lost in translation.
Life between cultures
Moving countries, building a new life, family far away or expectations from two cultures: we take these seriously and talk about them openly.
Strictly confidential
What you share in a session is covered by professional secrecy. Nothing is passed on without your consent.
What can you come in for?
You don't need to wait until things feel unbearable. If any of these sound familiar, a first conversation is a good place to start:
- Anxiety and constant worry
- Panic attacks and phobias
- Low mood and depression
- Stress and burnout
- Sleep problems
- Grief and loss
- Relationship and family issues
- Trauma and difficult experiences
- Self-esteem and confidence
- Expat life, migration and adjustment

Joined-up care under one roof: GP, nurse, physiotherapist and psychologist
Mind and body are closely linked. Poor sleep, palpitations, stomach aches or constant fatigue can be the physical side of stress, or have a medical cause that needs checking. Because our professions work in the same building, we can look at the whole picture.
GP (family doctor)
Flat-rate for registered patients*
Your first point of contact. Listens, checks whether there is a physical cause behind your symptoms (with blood tests if needed), can start treatment and refers you to the psychologist when it makes sense.
Nurse
Flat-rate for registered patients*
Takes care of follow-up such as blood pressure checks and chronic-condition monitoring, and supports you throughout your treatment.
Physiotherapist
Outside the flat-rate
Works with your body: stress-related muscle tension, back and neck pain, or getting active again.
Psychologist
Outside the flat-rate · €60 / 50 min
Talking therapy to help you understand your emotions, thoughts and relationships, and to develop new ways of coping.
