Helena Galhardi

I am an English and French-speaking counseling psychologist with a background in adolescent and adult counseling.

I am also fluent in Spanish and Portuguese.

I use an integrative therapeutic approach to meet the specific needs of all my clients, which allows me to tailor therapy and help on an individual basis.

I have a particular interest in Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction therapy (MBSR). As well as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), existential psychotherapy, and person-centered therapies.

Born in Geneva, I was raised in Mexico and Brazil. My multi-cultural background allows me to appreciate and understand how culture helps shape the way we see ourselves and others – enabling us to have a sense of identity and belonging.

Currently I work in Brussels, Belgium.

My education and background has prepared me to become an open-minded, reflective, knowledgeable, and balanced practitioner. I am passionate about helping others connect more authentically to themselves, others and their life as a whole.

What to Expect

Once a first appointment is made, we will use the first couple of sessions to make sure we are a right fit.
These initial sessions will be a place for you to tell me more about yourself and about your goals for counseling.
Subsequently, we will work together to decide on the progression of each session.

Sessions

I offer online and in-person counseling sessions.

Sessions last for 50mins.
Please inquire about sliding scale rates in case of financial hardship.
Payment is due either in person or via bank transfer.
Cancellation policy: at least 24 hour advance notice is required to avoid being charged for a missed, cancelled, or changed session.

Confidentiality

Sessions are confidential and it is something we will discuss in our first session.
I wish to create a space that is just for you, to speak about whatever topic, and to feel that it is received without any judgement
