Room for what you have lost.
Grief follows no fixed path and has no fixed length. In a confidential conversation there is room for what you feel, at your pace and without judgement.

What it’s about
Grief doesn’t need to be solved
Grief is not a disorder and not a problem that has to go away. It is a natural response to loss. That loss may be a death, and also living loss: a divorce, a (chronic) illness, or a future you had in mind.
I really listen, without judging and without quick answers. I guide you in feeling what is there and discovering what you need right now.
Types of loss
Grief has many faces
Death of a loved one. Losing a partner, parent, child, friend or another loved one leaves a void that has no fixed course. There is no right way and no right speed to grieve, there is what is true for you at this moment.
Living loss. Grief is not only about death. Sometimes you lose something while the person or situation is still there. Because there is no farewell and those around you often don’t recognise it as grief, this loss often goes unspoken. That deserves room too.
Divorce. A divorce is the loss of a relationship, a home, a picture of the future and often also part of who you were. There may be sadness, relief, anger, or all of it at once.
(Chronic) illness. Living with an illness, your own or that of someone you love, means saying goodbye to what you were used to: to energy, to plans, to taking things for granted. That loss is there again every day and is rarely named as grief.
Other loss. A job that falls away, a wish for children that doesn’t come true, a friendship that ends. If it feels like grief to you, it is welcome.
Who this is for
Grief support is for you if
- you are grieving a death, a divorce, a (chronic) illness or another living loss
- those around you expect things to be better by now
- you are looking for room to talk without anyone trying to reassure you or give advice
- you don’t quite know what you feel or need
What I stand for
The basis of every conversation
Confidentiality
What is shared here stays between us. Always. Also towards my partner or mutual friends. That confidentiality is the foundation of every conversation.
Safety
Here, thoughts, words and feelings may fully be there — without judgement. All religions, orientations and beliefs are welcome.
Expansion
When there is room to be yourself, room also opens up in your head and your body: seeing more options, feeling more air, looking deeper at what is going on.
Fairness
Honesty comes first. When I see a pattern, notice a paradox or an image comes to me, I share it — always with your permission to step in.
Equality
We are equal partners in conversation: I am no more than you, and vice versa. I give no ready-made answers and guide you towards your own.
Thinking along
You are gifted and looking for someone who can keep up: with your thinking, your questions and your pace.
Sensing
You are highly sensitive and looking for someone who picks up your signals intuitively.
Practical
The sessions take place in Ghent, and online or at your home if you prefer. How many conversations you need is up to you: we look together at what suits you.
Grief support with me is coaching, not psychotherapy. If you need psychological care, I am glad to think along with you about who the right person would be.
Frequently asked questions
Is grief support only for a death?
No. There is also room for living loss, such as a divorce, a (chronic) illness or another loss.
How many conversations do I need?
That is up to you. Grief follows no fixed path and has no fixed length: we look together at what suits you.
Is grief support the same as psychotherapy?
No. Grief support with me is coaching, not psychotherapy. If you need psychological care, I am glad to think along with you about who the right person would be.
Would you like to talk about it?
A first conversation is free of obligation. Feel free to send a message, at your own pace.
