Kim Strubbe
Kim Strubbe is a clinical psychologist with expertise in chronic pain, stress-related issues, mood disorders, and the interplay between physical and psychological processes.
She earned her master's degree in clinical psychology from Ghent University and gained several years of experience in a general hospital, where she supported patients dealing with acute and chronic pain as well as psychological distress.
In addition, she has pursued further training in psychodynamic psychotherapy and various body-oriented approaches.
Her professional interest lies in how physical symptoms, emotions, stress, and personal experiences can influence one another.
With chronic pain, tinnitus, and other long-term conditions, physical and psychological factors can significantly impact daily functioning. Psychological support in this context does not imply that symptoms are imagined or solely psychological in origin.
Kim helps patients better understand their symptoms, manage emotional burdens, and find ways to support their functioning and quality of life.
She utilizes counseling, psychoeducation, and psychotherapeutic support, tailored to the individual needs and goals of the patient.
As an external consultant, she contributes to the multidisciplinary perspective at BRAI3N, where neuroscientific and psychological insights complement one another.
Her philosophy is that quality care requires attention not only to the symptoms but also to the person living with them.
In addition to her work with BRAI3N, Kim practices from her own office De Verankering in Bruges.
