Now that I'm finishing up my Practicum two,
I'm once again looking for:
Three couples who are curious about what lives between them.
A trajectory consists of one to four sessions.
You receive those for free and in return I receive your permission to record these sessions. (video/audio)
They will only be used to present to my teachers.
You don’t need to be in crisis to be welcome here.
And I’m not looking for couples who have everything already figured out either.
Maybe you recognize recurring patterns, tensions or misunderstandings that you’d like to explore together with more honesty and clarity.
​
I’m not interested in fixing either of you.
I’m interested in looking, together, at what happens between you and what else might become possible from there.
Because relationships are living places.
And I love to support those places.

"relationships change
when curiosity matters more
than being right."
WHAT RELATIONAL LIFE THERAPY (RLT) IS
Most couples don’t fight about
one thing once.
They get caught in the same loop over and over again:
the same reactions,
the same misunderstandings,
the same hurt playing out in different disguises.
RLT is a practical form of couples therapy that helps people stop repeating
the same painful dynamics
and learn healthier ways of relating to each other.
RLT is about learning relational skills:
how to fight less destructively,
how to speak more honestly,
how to stay connected without losing yourself,
and how to take responsibility for your impact on the other person.
RLT deeply believes:
Love alone is not enough.
Relational skills matter.

WHAT these sessions look like
​
​
​
I welcome you into my home in Mechelen or into an online space.
We begin slowly.
There's tea, some grounding, space for questions and shared agreements to support the conversation.
At some point I'll ask you a simple but important question:
"If these sessions were truly helpful,
what would become different between you?"
From there, we'll explore together.
I may slow things down, interrupt certain dynamics, redirect the conversation or invite you to stay with something a little longer than usual.
You are always free to pause, pass or take your time.
​
REASSURANCE
You do not need to communicate perfectly
or 'be good at therapy'.
Permission to be human:
fully granted!

I worked with Kristien individually for almost two years and saw so many positive changes in my life through our work together. So when she began offering couples coaching, there was no question about who I would choose to support my marriage.
​
Kristien has an incredible ability to hold space for that deeper healing while also holding the relationship and both of us within it.
​
Kristien’s skill set and personality are such a natural fit for this work. She has been a role model, guide and friend to me, and what a blessing it is that I now get to share that relationship with my husband as we grow together in our marriage. "

I didn’t think we needed couple therapy before we started, but after the first session I realised I was wrong.
​
After only three sessions I can already see how much we can get from it. Kristien is very easy to work with and she makes it comfortable to open up and talk about things honestly. "
