I am Lena Ildikó Németh (previously practising as Lena Ildikó Vincze Németh), a psychotherapist based in Brussels (Registration number: 0826.942.321). I work in English and Hungarian with individuals and groups from diverse cultural, linguistic, and professional backgrounds, including expatriates and internationally mobile professionals. Alongside my clinical practice, I write and present on psychotherapy, group analysis, and organisational dynamics. My practice operates in legal compliance under Belgian law and in adherence to the UKCP Code of Ethics and Professional Practice.
I specialise in working with complex inner and relational dynamics that are often difficult to fully understand, contain, or resolve through other approaches.

Some difficulties are not simply problems to be solved. They often involve patterns, relationships, and experiences that unfold over time and cannot be reduced to quick explanations or techniques. Psychotherapy offers a space in which these dynamics can be explored, understood, and gradually worked through.
My work is particularly suited to people who are seeking not only relief from distress but also a deeper understanding of the patterns that shape their inner world, relationships, and ways of being with others. Rather than focusing solely on symptom reduction, I aim to create a space where lasting understanding and change can gradually emerge.
People often come to therapy when something feels stuck, painful, or difficult to navigate, even if it is not immediately clear why. This may include:
Work and professional life
Exhaustion, burnout, or loss of meaning
Feeling “empty” despite outward success
Difficulties with recognition, progression, or workplace dynamicsMigration and belonging
Feeling between cultures or not fully at home
Isolation or loneliness in a new country
Tensions around identity, language, or belongingRelationships and family life
Repeated patterns in relationships
Conflict, emotional distance, or uncertainty about staying or leaving
Complex family dynamics, including step-families or intergenerational tensionsParenthood and fertility
Challenges around conceiving, IVF, or pregnancy loss
Emotional impact of becoming a parent
Parenting under strain or uncertaintyAddiction and repeating behaviours
Patterns that feel difficult to change despite their cost
Cycles of shame, secrecy, or relapse
Impact on relationships and self-understandingInner life and wellbeing
A sense of being stuck, disconnected, or alone
Obsessive patterns or persistent internal tension
Thoughts or feelings that are difficult to share elsewhereSpiritual and existential questions
Loss of meaning, faith, or direction
Questions about identity, mortality, or purpose
Searching for connection, structure, or transcendence
I offer both individual and group psychotherapy. Individual sessions provide a focused space for exploration, while group therapy offers a relational setting in which patterns can be observed, understood and worked through in real time.
Although my practice is based in Brussels, I also work online with people living elsewhere in Belgium and internationally. Many people seek psychotherapy with me because they are looking for a particular way of working rather than simply the nearest therapist. Whether we work online or in person is discussed together at the outset of therapy, taking into account your circumstances and what best supports the therapeutic process.
Group work is not suitable for everyone. It requires a capacity to engage with others and to tolerate the emotional complexity of a group setting. It is often most helpful at a stage where some individual work has already taken place.
You do not need to wait until things feel “serious enough.” If something feels unclear, unresolved, or difficult to understand, this may already be a meaningful point to begin.
If this way of working resonates with you, you are welcome to get in touch.
You can also find a selection of my publications, presentations, and ongoing research on the Publications page.
I look forward to hearing from you,
Lena Ildikó Németh
