Support that goes beyond talking
I work with methods that engage the subconscious and the body. That way, we address not only the issue itself, but also where it comes from.
-
01
Rapid Transformational Therapy (RTT)
A combination of hypnotherapy, psychotherapy and neurolinguistics. In deep relaxation, you go back to the moment a belief was formed, and rewrite it through your adult eyes.
-
02
Clinical hypnotherapy
In hypnosis, you enter a deep, focused state of relaxation in which your subconscious becomes accessible. Often, within half an hour, you have found the underlying cause of your issue. For fears and phobias, insomnia, burnout, fear of failure, stage fright and more.
-
03
Parts work (IFS - Internal Family Systems)
Each of your inner ‘parts’ has a protective role. We get to know them with curiosity and appreciation, so that old reflexes soften and you are back in the driver’s seat.
-
04
Guidance with the mother wound
Based on Kelly McDaniel’s work on Mother Hunger. For anyone who received too little nurturing, protection or direction as a child, and still feels it today in their relationships and self-image.
-
05
Personal hypnosis recordings
After each session, you receive a tailor-made recording with EMDR music and binaural tones. By listening to your recordings every day, you anchor the new beliefs.

Client stories
What clients experience
Real stories from clients at home and abroad, in their own words. Read them all on Trustlocal and Google.
Our RTT session focused on mother wounds and grief, and I was struck by the depth of her understanding and the way she gently guided me through the process. […] And her recording is next level!
I felt incredibly safe, understood, and supported throughout the entire process. I would describe Alma as truly a therapist’s therapist.
I really benefited from RTT session with Alma on my inner belief about my business and money. […] I am still listening to the recording 1x a week :) it is an amazing recording, I hear something new every time […]

Frequently asked questions
Answers to your questions

Yes. Hypnosis is a deep, pleasant state of relaxation, similar to the moment just before you fall asleep. You hear everything, decide for yourself what you share and can stop at any time.
Yes. I work with clients in Leuven and beyond. RTT works just as well online, as long as you have a quiet space and a pair of headphones.
In Dutch, English, German and Bosnian-Croatian-Serbian.
Deep-rooted patterns often have several layers. With three sessions, we tackle them step by step, which gives you the best chance of a lasting result. You also get a 15% discount.
In talk therapy, you mainly work with what you consciously know. RTT and parts work also engage the subconscious and the body, where many patterns originate. As a result, change can often happen more quickly.
Hypnosis does not put you to sleep; on the contrary, it brings you into a state of heightened awareness. That is precisely why you cannot stay in hypnosis indefinitely. Although it can feel like a dreamlike state, it is completely different from actual sleep.
(Clinical) hypnosis has nothing to do with Hollywood films. The idea that a hypnotist can force you into actions you would never consider of your own accord is simply a myth. Believing that such a person exists is like believing in Father Christmas, Batman, Catwoman, Superman, Hulk Hogan, Captain America and so on.
Hypnotherapy is by no means expensive. If you weigh the cost against that of, for example, cigarettes, medication, alcohol, cannabis or harder substances – or even against spending on short-lived temptations such as shopping and travel – hypnotherapy is a very attractive alternative. But tell me: have those other expenses really solved your problems, or do you simply keep spending money on them?
Rapid Transformational Therapy (RTT) is known as one of the fastest and most effective therapeutic approaches. You often gain valuable insights during or shortly after the session. Exactly how much time you need to process and integrate this new information is hard to predict, however; after all, every client’s experience is unique.
I like to compare it to a visit to the dentist. Imagine you have problems with your teeth and dream of a beautiful smile. That smile will not simply appear because you hope for it; you have to take action and go to the dentist. That may mean an anaesthetic injection, or putting up with the sound of a drill while your teeth are being worked on. After the treatment, you may feel some discomfort. It can indeed be unpleasant for a while, but in the end you do achieve the beautiful smile you longed for.
The same principle applies to hypnotherapy. As Gabor Maté once put it (paraphrased): if your therapist does not ask uncomfortable questions and you do not experience uncomfortable feelings during the session, they may not be doing their job well. Suppressing uncomfortable emotions is not healthy. “The sorrow which has no vent in tears may make other organs weep.” Henry Maudsley (1895), “The Pathology of Mind”, Macmillan, p. 138. ISBN 978-0-598-47100-0.
