THE TEAM

dr. Aisha Cortoos

Clinical Psychologist - Psychotherapist - PhD in Psychology

Passionate about science combined with a pragmatic mind. I combine profundity with a concrete and solution-oriented approach. I always do this from a psycho-physiological perspective: how does the brain work and influences your mood, behaviour, and performances.

Iris Vantieghem

Clinical Psychologist

My approach is based on the continuous interaction between physical, mental and social processes. On a regular basis, psycho-education on this interplay is offered, alternated with concrete exercises and with reflection on your own emotional and physical experiences. By combining that acquired knowledge and learning how to better recognise your own experiences and emotional or physical reactions, you become, in part, your own coach.
