Elise

My name is Elise Dethier. I live in Mechelen, Belgium. I graduated as a social worker in the early 1990s . Life stories have always fascinated me. It fascinates me how different we are and yet deep down inside we all want the same thing: to be seen for who we ARE and to be meaningful. Driven by my own quest, a few years ago I made the choice to take a new path: that of POSSIBILITIES: 'the growth mindset'. I started to focus on awareness and development of my potential, qualities and inner strength. A world opened up for me. The subconscious, the body and self-love are for me valuable and indispensable keys to healing, physically, emotionally and mentally.

Ethics

As a Life Coach and Social Worker, I act ethically and adhere strictly to deontological professional codes. The tools I use are extremely valuable to many people. I also apply them daily in my own life. Where I consider myself incompetent I refer. That, too, is an important form of support for me. My coaching does not replace medical or psychiatric treatment.

QUESTIONS often asked....

  • Tapping, also called EFT or Emotional Freedom Technique, is a therapeutic method that works with emotions, energy, mind AND the body. We touch meridian points while making contact with the negative feelings and thoughts that limit us. By accepting the problem and bringing love to it, we can make a shift and create a new vision.

    With tapping, we can create real change in a short period of time. The method is relatively young, safe and rapidly gaining popularity. In Anglo-Saxon countries, tapping is even used in hospital emergency departments as first aid for trauma.

    It is my favorite method.... and can be perfectly combined with hypnosis and other even more body-oriented tools.

  • Hypnosis is a deep form of relaxation. In a therapeutic context, it is used to temporarily reduce the client's conscious perception so that a dialogue with the subconscious can occur. This is immediately the added value of hypnosis. The subconscious mind is a wise, powerful part of our mind that we can harness as a resource for problem solving.

  • Feeling yourself safe is essential in any therapeutic process and by extension in any relationship. It is an absolute priority for me to create and monitor a safe space.

    Hypnosis is a natural state. For example, you can also be "in hypnosis" when you are engrossed in a book. Someone then calling your name can thereby startle you for a moment. Hypnosis is not used in people with epilepsy, schizophrenia or psychoses. In cases of severe trauma, it is possible that I will refer you.

  • My answer is "yes. The tools I use are powerful and do their job equally well in an online context. Sometimes my coaching sessions are a mix of online and life sessions.

  • During a program, we work together for a specified amount of time. We set one or more goals & determine a number of sessions. After each session you receive a tracker that gives you a handle on your evolution. For the duration of the program you will receive support via email/whatsapp.

  • My hourly rate is 75€/hr and 95€ for an hour and a half. There is a special price for trajectories (both hypnosis & tapping).

    I accept 1-2 clients each month who are struggling financially at reduced rates.
