Hi, I’m Lynn — nice to meet you.

I work as a therapist and counselor in Ghent, guiding individuals and couples who wish to reconnect with themselves, deepen their emotional awareness, and navigate life’s challenges. My approach is grounded in emotion-focused therapy, which helps you tune into your inner emotional world, break free from patterns, and live more authentically.

I often meet clients who are very strong in their minds, but less familiar with their inner emotional experience. Others experience the opposite: their emotions feel so intense or overwhelming that they find it difficult to navigate them. Exactly in that tension — between thinking and feeling — my approach offers an opening. Clear, direct, and emotion-focused, with room for both insight and regulation.

My Background & Expertise

  • Certified by Focus on Emotion (Emotion-Focused Therapy).

  • Extensive experience with people from diverse cultural and religious backgrounds, including couples and individuals.

  • Regularly work with expats navigating loss, reorientation, and identity.

  • Extensive experience in supporting men, who often carry different expectations, barriers, and social messages around emotions.

  • Skilled in supporting clients going through life transitions and identity questions.

  • Sensitive to the very specific pressure young parents are under.

  • Competent in addressing issues of gender identity and expression.

  • Open to spiritual exploration and questions of meaning.

  • Experienced in post-psychedelic integration and helping you translate those insights into everyday life.

“As a therapist and counselor, I stand for warm connection, simple, direct language and honest optimism.”

My Approach

I guide my clients from a feeling-first perspective — in the triangle of thoughts – feelings – behaviors, I start with the emotional layer. That’s where deep, transformative work happens.

This helps both people who:

  • are very head-oriented and struggle to connect with what they feel, and

  • those who feel overwhelmed by their emotions and need a safe space to better understand and regulate them.

Together, we find a way to how you feel that is safe, meaningful and manageable.

My Therapeutic Style

I take an active, warm, and engaged approach. I reflect what I hear, ask clarifying questions, and gently mirror what comes up — always with empathy, but also with honest feedback when it is needed.

My goal is to help you:

  • get closer to who you really are

  • free yourself from limiting beliefs, protective strategies and old masks

  • discover deeper insight and a more authentic way of living

Because so many of the patterns we live by are “blind spots,” therapy can be a powerful catalyst for transformation.

What Clients Say

Clients often highlight:

  • my sharp insight

  • my ability to communicate clearly and directly

  • how I help them get to the heart of issues effectively

  • my warm, grounded presence

I offer therapy in English and Dutch, for both individuals and couples, in Ghent.
