About

Hello, I’m Hager — a clinical psychologist trained in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing) and Schema Therapy with extensive experience supporting humanitarian workers, activists, and professionals exposed to high stress and challenging environments.

For the past several years, I have worked with various international organizations (Médecins Sans Frontières, Médecins du Monde, Action Contre la Faim, etc) in different contexts. In these roles, I have provided psychological care, staff wellbeing support, stress management training, and crisis intervention in contexts marked by migration, conflict, and displacement.Through this work, I came to realize how essential it is to create safe spaces where those who dedicate themselves to helping others can also find support for their own wellbeing.My practice focuses on:
- Managing stress and preventing burnout;
- Processing traumatic experiences;
- Strengthening resilience and coping strategies;
- Supporting life transitions.I work in English, French, and Arabic, and I value a culturally sensitive, non-judgmental approach.

Education and trainings

I hold a Master’s degree in Clinical Psychology and Psychopathology from the Université Libre de Bruxelles. I further specialized in migration, ethnic diversity, and intercultural relations through a post-graduate certificate. I am accredited as a clinical psychologist by the Commission des Psychologues de Belgique (accreditation number 932222312).
My continuous professional development includes therapeutic trainings in EMDR and Schema Therapy, as well as certifications in project management, people management, and humanitarian mental health. I have completed multiple specialized courses on trauma, gender-based violence, and psychosocial support for migrants, refugees, and survivors of crises, to further adopt a trauma-informed and culturally sensitive care.

I believe that caring for yourself is not a luxury — it’s what allows you to keep caring for others.Interested? Get in touch!

Therapeutic approach

My work is grounded in a trauma-informed and culturally sensitive approach, integrating elements from cognitive-behavioral and relational models. I draw on practices that foster emotional awareness, resilience, and self-compassion, while adapting to each person’s context and pace.
I value authenticity, respect, and collaboration — believing that psychological support is a shared space where each story is welcomed with care and without judgment.As an accredited clinical psychologist, I adhere to the Belgian and European codes of ethics for psychologists.
Confidentiality, informed consent, and professional integrity are at the heart of my practice.
