Mrs Doris d'Hooghe

Honouring each child's individuality, I create a predictable, slow-paced rhythm in sessions that helps them feel steady and curious. In my Gent practice, working in Dutch, English or French, that often looks like a mix of play, storytelling and simple body-based noticing so children can name and tolerate difficult feelings. For worries, relationship strains or past hurts I use trauma-informed techniques alongside practical experiments and regular check-ins with parents to extend change beyond the room. Families seeking calm, collaborative support tend to find this approach helpful.
