Judith Blaauw

In 2000 I graduated as an Art therapist and worked with children and their parents ever since– first as a groupworker with mentally disabled children in a residential institute and with children with psychological problems in a day care treatment center. Later on as an art therapist, in 2012, I joined the Theraplay training Level 1 and in 2015, with great joy and pride, I received my certificate: Certified Theraplay Practitioner. In January 2016 I started my own practice and play with children and their parents almost every day. In 2017 I participated at the DDP1 training with Dafna Lender.

In 2014 and 2015 I was an assistant trainer with Marja Appel for the Level 1. And at this moment I work with Bettie Sleeuw, as a Certified Associate Supervisor at The Theraplay Academie in the Netherlands.

Virginie Vandenbroucke

I got my first degree in clinical psychology in 1985. I worked in child motherhood prevention service (PMI) as well as in the child welfare service (ASE) with children who were neglected or maltreated mainly with young children. In 1997 I graduated in perinatal haptonomy and haptopsychotherapy, which uses emotional touching to develop the child-parent relationship since pregnancy and in psychotherapy, and I then practiced as a psychotherapist in a public consultation depending on the hospital. (CMP)
Then for 20 years I stopped working as a psychotherapist to take care of my 3 daughters but I continued my activity of support of prenatal parent-child relationship with haptonomy. In 2014, at the same time as taking up a private practice, I got a degree in theory of attachment. In 2016 I discovered Theraplay. I am one of the first Theraplay therapists certified in France, passionate about this form of work that combines my theoretical understanding underpinned by my university degree and my clinical practice carried by haptonomy. I practice with babies, children and adolescents and their parents. I am also certified since January 2019 as Theraplay Supervisor which allows me to develop my pleasure of transmission and my enthusiasm for Theraplay. You can contact me at [email protected]
