I am Luisa Mannu, Cognitive Behavioral Life Coach (CBC) and grief Counselor in Brussels, Belgium. I am also a certified Mindfulness Teacher.
I work in English, French and Italian.
I specialise in all kinds of problems related to difficult changes, transitions and losses in both personal and professional life. I practise in Brussels near the European Institutions in English, French and Italian and I work with adults and teenagers. I also practise online worldwide.
Trained in different approaches, I offer a personalised coaching that meets your needs and attitudes and I help you through those difficult periods of your life, such as break-up, divorce, transitions, relationship difficulties, professional changes, living abroad, anxiety, stress, grief, loss of self-confidence, to mention just a few.
My cognitive behavioural approach in coaching and counselling enables me to help you uncover the obstacles that are interfering with your life and to achieve positive results rapidly.
I have deep lived experience that I apply to empathetically support you in your journey. Having lived many years abroad as an expat myself, I am intimately familiar with the difficulties of navigating a new culture and can work with you to build community and find connection and belonging in the most challenging circumstances. I can help you to work through professional challenges and find the job you love and craft a fulfilling career trajectory by identifying your skills and passion and translating that into effective interview and CV material.
I am a solution-oriented coach. The help I offer you is not a long-term psychotherapy and it does not require necessarily going back to your past. It is focused on the “here and now”.
It is the support of a professional who has also walked that same path and experienced a similar journey.
Scientist as background, I am a certified Cognitive Behavioural Life and Career Coach, Grief Counsellor and certified Mindfulness Teacher.
Are you feeling overwhelmed, unhappy, lost in your life?
Are you going through a major life change, whether it's a new job, a break up or divorce, a disease, moving across country?
Are you grieving a recent loss or still struggling with an old one?
Or perhaps you don’t even know why you are feeling in a state of distress, depression and anxiety and you cannot see a way out?
Then, this is the right moment to seek a professional and compassionate help. Don’t hesitate to contact me.
I will accompany you by gently embracing your feelings and emotions. Through an individual therapy, I will help you discover your own resources and together we will tap into creative ways of moving forward in the transition from the darkness to the light.
I offer you a safe space where you will be welcomed by my empathetic and understanding support and you will be guided in achieving your goals and getting to take important decisions in your life.
I work with individuals both in person and online (worldwide).
I offer dedicated individual counseling services as an English-speaking therapist in Brussels (and therapist Brussels wide) specifically for international residents. Grounded in years of practical experience with the local expat community, my practice provides expat support tailored to expats' life, major life transitions, cultural adaptation, and relationship dynamics in fluent English, French, and Italian.
As a professional career coaching practitioner with specialized training in professional guidance, I offer comprehensive career coaching services, job coaching, and personal direction during a career transition that goes beyond simple CV polishing. Whether you are looking for career coaching, a career coach Brussels, or a career coach near me to navigate workplace pressure, I combine evidence-based methods to address both your professional goals and your personal well-being.
You can contact me as a life coach Brussels residents rely on whenever you face major life shifts or need a life coach for general life coaching Brussels support. My 1-on-1 life coaching and well-being coaching focus on personal growth, rebuilding self-confidence, emotional health, and compassionate grief support during challenging life changes.
As a mental health coach, I provide you with practical, evidence-based coping strategies for daily stress and anxiety management. If you need targeted anxiety support or structural burnout recovery, my sessions integrate formal mindfulness practices, Non-Violent Communication (NVC), and individual mental coaching to manage workplace exhaustion and rebuild long-term resilience.
My work life coaching adopts a feel good life coach approach to help you set clear boundaries, manage workload stress, and align your professional trajectory with your core values. Combining personal guidance with life coach / counselor support allows you to avoid mental overload and restore lasting energy.
