Integrative & body psychotherapy (including integrative bodywork) sessions
In the context of individual consultations, we start with an intake interview and an analysis of your situation. We guide you to a session with Dirk Marivoet or one of his colleagues according to your wish and locality.
In general, Dirk Marivoet works with a personality-oriented approach and in principle not with a symptom-oriented approach. Being trained in both classical psychotherapy and body-mind approaches, energy, movement, physicality and mindfulness/consciousness are generally part of the process.
A therapy is always individually tailored and all possibilities can be discussed with you in an intake interview.

A big thank you to Dirk! His work has allowed me to change important programs rooted in childhood, to breathe better, to live more in connection with my body, my deep feelings, and my emotions. Dirk can find the right words and touches by creating the confidence and security to release blocked energy in your physical and emotional body.

My deepest gratitude to Dirk as my trainer, supervisor, therapist for continuing inspiration, support, wisdom and heartfelt qualities. He really “ walks what he talks”: highly integrated competences and a wonderful human heart which can make space for everything.

I endured a horrific traumatic incident back in 2017 and it was a blessing to work with Dirk. He helped me out of the trauma masterfully in a way that was harmonious and efficient, without much talking or drama engaging. I learned more about myself and my survival mechanisms and discovered new dimensions of my own being.
