PsyCol: A Philosophy of Therapeutic Support, Expertise, and Care
More than a center: a community of professionals united in the service of well-being
The PsyCol Collective: Our Mission and Holistic Approach
PsyCol is a collective of psychologists, psychiatrists, and other mental health professionals specialized in psychological support across Brussels.
Our approach is grounded in ethical values, ongoing training, and a deep respect for human individuality. Our primary mission is to offer high-quality care to individuals, couples, and families navigating complex life situations, while fostering a better understanding of themselves and supporting the development of their personal resources.
What distinguishes us is our collaborative approach: knowledge-sharing, dialogue, and collective reflection lie at the heart of PsyCol’s practice, both within our team and with our external partners. This synergy enables us to provide comprehensive, coherent, and beneficial care for everyone.
Our Four Core Pillars: The Foundation of Our Excellence
Collaboration
Continuous exchange, shared knowledge, and collective intelligence. This synergy allows us to respond with greater relevance and nuance to individual needs.Integration
We value the diversity of therapeutic approaches, integrating different psychological perspectives, socio-cultural contexts, and languages spoken within our team to ensure care that is adapted and inclusive.Professionalism
Ensured through intervision, supervision, and continuous professional development, guaranteeing that each practitioner provides high-quality care.Benevolence
We offer a safe, confidential space where you can express yourself freely, with respect for professional confidentiality and without judgment.
Intervision and Supervision: At the Heart of Our Working Method
At PsyCol, collective practice is a cornerstone of our approach. We are guided by fundamental values: knowledge-sharing, partnership, diversity, ethics, and community engagement. These principles shape our four core pillars: Collaboration, Integration, Professionalism, and Benevolence.
To uphold excellence, members of the PsyCol team regularly participate in intervision sessions: peer-based meetings held in a secure, collaborative environment.
To foster the continuous development of each professional, we also encourage participation (optional but strongly recommended) in PsyCol supervision sessions.
What are Intervision and Supervision at PsyCol?
Intervision is a collaborative process without hierarchical structure, dedicated to analyzing professional practices. These sessions allow practitioners to collectively reflect on complex situations, share therapeutic approaches, and enhance their professional skills, all in the interest of patient care.
Intervision: Horizontal discussions among peers, focusing on shared cases and collaborative problem-solving.
Supervision: Structured, expert-led guidance provided by a specialist in a specific psychological approach.
Our commitment to intervision and supervision ensures a reflective, cohesive, and continuously evolving professional practice.

Art at the Heart of Humanity: The Place of Art at PsyCol “Art will save the world.” – Fyodor Dostoevsky
Art is an essential means of human expression: it allows emotions to be conveyed through creative expression, transcends suffering, and connects individuals to themselves. Art brings us closer to humanity in all its forms and enriches the experience of those who encounter it.
Artistic engagement—whether through creation or appreciation—is a powerful source of personal growth. It nourishes imagination, stimulates creativity, and broadens our perspective. Artistic experiences foster an indispensable emotional connection, both with oneself and with others.
Why is Art Central to PsyCol?
We have deliberately chosen to display artworks in our care spaces for two main reasons:
-
To create a warm and welcoming environment
We aim to offer spaces that promote well-being, drawing on the recognized benefits of art for mental health (stress reduction, improved self-esteem, according to the WHO). -
To support artists
We showcase artworks that resonate with our values, encouraging curiosity and appreciation of art and its creators.
By integrating art into our spaces, we seek to inspire, support emotional well-being, and encourage creativity among everyone who visits our centers.
