Marie-Laure Derom, Psychologist & Naturopath

✨ A little more about me...

I am Marie-Laure Derom, a clinical psychologist and naturopath. Holding a Master's degree in Psychological Sciences, another in Nutrition and Metabolism, and a diploma in Naturopathy, I have developed a holistic approach to understanding and supporting people, shaped by psychology, natural wellbeing, scientific research and health promotion.

For over 12 years, I have been helping adults going through difficult times to overcome challenges and rediscover greater confidence, joy, well-being and meaning in their lives.

I work with young adults facing low self-confidence, exam periods, stress, career choices, and deeper questions about who they are and the direction they wish to take. I also support adults dealing with trauma, burnout, stress, anxiety, bereavement, separation or emotions that are difficult to navigate — as well as those who wish to know themselves better, develop their potential and build a life more aligned with who they truly are.

🌱 My approach is holistic and deeply human — built on attentive listening, deep empathy and a sensitivity to what is seeking to emerge within each person, fostering positive and lasting transformation.

🤍 What inspires me every day is the resilience, courage and capacity for transformation of the people I work with. I have often witnessed how even difficult periods can, over time, become opportunities for growth, self-reconnection and personal evolution.

✨ This is what gives meaning to my work and what drives me.

🌍 I wholeheartedly believe that when people rediscover greater health and fulfilment, reconnect with who they truly are and find their own calling, together we can contribute to creating a more conscious, humane, respectful and peaceful world.

🌱 At the moment, I am working on renewing my website content — a process that is inviting me to reflect on my journey, my mission and what has brought me to where I am today. I look forward to sharing more with you soon.

💬 Feel free to ask anything in the comments — about me, my journey or the way I work. And I'd love to hear from you too : what brought you here today, and what would you most like to reconnect with? 🤍

🌿 This week brought me many insights.

During a morning walk in nature, these two little snails reminded me of something I often witness in my patients — and sometimes in myself.

We can become so focused on the next goal, the next challenge, the next thing we want to improve, that we forget to see how far we've already come.

✨ Sometimes it is worth pausing for a moment.

To acknowledge what we have survived.
To acknowledge what we have learned.
To acknowledge how much we have grown.

🤍 In my work, I am constantly inspired by the courage, resilience and transformation I witness in the people I accompany.

Many courageously face and work through difficult life experiences, heal old wounds, and create a different path for themselves and future generations.

🌱 I find that deeply moving.

Sometimes we need to slow down, be present and trust that meaningful change is already unfolding, one step at a time.

💫 There is already so much to be grateful for... and proud of.

What are you grateful for today? 🤍

I'd love to read your reflections in the comments.

🤍 When it comes from the heart…

Again, around the New Moon a few days ago… (and I didn’t even realize it was the New Moon), so many ideas came to me, something so powerful somehow pushing me forward, like a voice telling me I have to speak.

So much I want to share with you. This has been happening to me for several years. But I keep silent. I work in silence, I keep my thoughts in silence. Yet lately, I feel it’s time for something to change.
I’ve already tried a lot of times. But then again, something holds me back. Probably fear? I don’t know… and I go back to what feels familiar. Fulfilling my mission, but quietly. And maybe that is already enough — or even more than enough 🙂.

But something has been changing inside me lately. Like an unexplainable energy gently pushing me to speak, to speak up. And yes… I am scared. Very scared. I’m not used to this. There are so many fears.
Yesterday, I listened to -claire meret and one sentence stayed with me:
“Sometimes the message becomes louder than the fear.” (Maybe not the exact words, but that’s what I remembered and I thank her from my heart.)

I know I carry important messages inside me, but I haven’t always felt confident enough to share them. So just as I help my patients move through their fears, I am now trying to move through mine. And I hope that this time, something will truly shift.

I often tell my patients, “when it comes from the heart, it is always okay.” So I remind myself that what I share here comes from a place of love, softness & authenticity. So maybe I don’t need to be so afraid after all.

I’m looking forward to sharing more with you, reading your reflections, and hopefully creating a beautiful community together.

“Alone we can go faster, together we go further.” 🌿

More soon… ✨

😍❤️ The phoenix raising from its ashes ❤️😍

Yesterday… 11.30pm…
So many words, so many ideas came to me, just like that, without me doing anything.
Afterwards I realized it was New Moon just the day before.
I wasn’t so much into lunar cycles before, and I still don’t have a lot of knowledge about them, but lots of times when those strong energies, forces and love overwhelm me it’s during the New Moon period.

I have been silent for a long time. I have been feeling, I have been living, I have been observing, I have been experiencing. I have been thinking about all of you so many times. So many times that I wanted to tell you things from my heart, that I wanted to share thoughts and ideas and I didn’t. I kept silence, I kept all of it inside.

But even if it’s scary for me, I feel it’s time to speak. It’s time for me to rise as a phoenix raising from its ashes. It’s time to not be silent anymore.

It’s new. I don’t like social media too much. I don’t like making myself visible. But there is a strength stronger than myself, an energy coming from deeper, from elsewhere that drives me, that pushes me to do this. For the world, for all of you. It’s like a duty, a mission. I have to speak. And I also know that behind those screens, there are people, there is you.

For that mother crying alone in her bathroom
For that father trying to find a good life-work balance
For that mother who lost her child too early, standing there with her unbearable pain
For that man that lived the most horrifying traumas in his childhood
For that adult that was thrown away from the stairs by his father
For that woman who was victim of incestuous sexual abuse when she was little
For that young man suffering and not knowing how to fit in
For all those sensible souls feeling different and not understood
For that person that didn’t know a way out anymore and decided to end his life
For the family and friends from the person who suicided feeling lost, with so much pain in their hearts
For that person waking up with anxiety not knowing how to handle it
For the ones sitting in their sofa, crying, not feeling well and suffering
For that mother forgetting herself and prioritizing others first
For that mother wanting to be there at 100% for her children, her work, her partner, her friends and doesn’t know how
For those ones who cannot follow anymore in this society that rushes too much
For all the children of the planet that have so much potential for whom it’s not easy to feel pressure or for those ones living in difficult conditions
For the animals on this planet, for the trees and the plants
For those sensible men for whom it’s difficult to express their emotions and show their true self
For this woman wanting a child so much but for whom the waiting is getting unbearably long
For all those talented people that are scared and unconfident
For that person living her last days
For the people wanting to create a better world
And for so many more people

I see you, I feel you, I really do and you are not alone

I don’t know what this will bring, I don’t know if I will ever publish this and if I do so if I would publish more (because yes I do have so much more to tell) but what I do know, is that it’s time for a change.

And if you - like me - want to create a better place, work together to more peace, want to connect and not be alone anymore, if you are touched by what I say, if you care for the others, please put a ❤️ below in the comments and share this post. If you want to share a comment or how you feel below, please do so. It’s only by sharing and connecting that people will be more understood and that together we can create a better place.

Because I’m sure you too care, I’m sure you too have once felt one of the above descriptions or you know someone who did.

My english is not perfect (there might be mistakes, sentences not well written) but if I do post this I’ll try to post it imperfectly perfect and that’s good enough. It’s the intention that matters. And my intention comes from the deepest of my heart. And when it comes from there it’s always right.

Lots of love to all of you. You are not alone and there is more to come… or at least I hope so 😃.

*** Le deuil ***

J’accompagne souvent les personnes en deuil. Et je trouve que c’est tellement bien dit (les mots ci-dessous). Au début bien sûr on ne le voit pas ainsi. Mais sur le chemin on apprend en effet à monter en conscience, à changer des choses, ... Et c’est aussi ce que je fais dans mes accompagnements avec les personnes en deuil: les accompagner sur ce chemin pour que cela devienne moins lourd, les accompagner vers plus de conscience et d’Etre.

Merci Rachel Galerme Sophrologue pour ces mots.

Belle soirée.

Et si nos deuils étaient un coup de tonnerre pour nous réveiller, monter en conscience et aller à l’essentiel ?
