About Me
Hello, I'm Yeshe...
I'm a state-licensed clinical psychologist. I specialize in person-centered and experiential psychotherapy, as well as essential psychotherapy, an innovative approach integrating the methods from contemplative wisdom traditions into western psychology.
Passionate about understanding the wisdom inherent in our emotions, I focus on exploring and understanding feelings, recognizing their potential to enrich our lives and guide us towards what truly matters for us. Experiential approaches like focusing (body awareness work), mindfulness (finding calm amidst chaos), and compassion-based methods (inner child work, inner family systems) particularly inspire my practice.
Perfectly fluent in German, French, and English, I offer my services in these three languages. I work with adults, couples and adolescents.
My personal journey
My interest in psychology began when I was a teenager in search for greater depth and meaning in life. After briefly considering a career as a war-photographer (and realizing that I'm much too soft-hearted for such a brave endeavour), I eventually engaged in university studies in clinical psychology.
At the age of 20, I discovered the practice of mindfulness meditation which has become a personal path of inner transformation ever since. My deep interest in the benefits of meditative practices inspired me to work as a researcher in contemplative neuroscience for a few years after I graduated from university. After a travel break and a series of more intensive meditation retreats, I decided to quit a promising career in academia and to reconnect with my initial motivation for studying psychology - helping others connect with their deep inner resources to meet life's challenges and finding more meaning and fulfilment in life.
Since, I have aquired experience in different fields related to clinical psychology, spanning from managing projects aiming at improving mental health care for neurodiverse communities, to psychotherapy in public mental health centers and more recently also in private practice in Brussels.
