Welcome...

First of all... It is with great pleasure that I offer a completely redesigned art therapy programme as well as a completely renewed website.

My name is Jasmina Mouchrique. I've moved back to Ostend, where I grew up, after many years in Brussels. From now on, I'll be offering art therapy sessions right on the beach, if the weather permits. Online art therapy is still available for those who can't travel. Although I'm originally a Dutch speaker, I can also provide support in French and English.

If you're new to art therapy, click here to find out more. If, on the other hand, you'd like to delve deeper or start a new therapeutic path, then you've come to the right place! And what's more... sessions can take place right by the sea. To connect with yourself and your body, I can take you on a deep therapeutic journey towards self-healing/self-love/self-acceptance, individually or online. If you're looking for inner silence, I can take you on a mindful walk by the sea, or offer more in-depth guidance for hypersensitive people.

I sincerely hope you'll take a moment to have a look at this website, which I've created with so much love. And who knows, maybe we'll meet again in the future?

Art therapy in Ostend, on the beach if possible...

Of all the therapeutic methods I've tried myself, art therapy is the one that works most deeply. By connecting images, associations and patterns together, we use both hemispheres of the brain. As a result, old traumas can be recognised and then released from your system.

We will work with natural materials collected on the beach during the session. But other techniques of creative expression (movement, visualisation, relaxation, etc.) can also be used to connect with our own creativity.

Mindful walking by the sea

During the walk, we will observe our breathing and what we feel inside/outside our bodies in depth. The aim is to connect as closely as possible with ourselves in the present moment, by focusing on nature around us. We end the walk with a ritual on the beach and then take time to reflect on how you are feeling.

Guidance for high-sensitive persons

I currently offer a tailor-made guidance for children, teenagers and adults. As a high-sensitive person myself, I noticed that most of the clients who came to see me over the years didn't even realise that many of their problems/issues were directly linked to their high sensitivity. When you focus on the qualities of high sensitivity rather than how society perceives it, a new world opens up. Using art therapy and a mixture of other techniques, I can help you to better understand/accept yourself and, above all, to stay closer to yourself, whatever is happening around you.

Who am I as an art therapist?

I've come a long way since I trained in Ghent in 2006, and my journey is far from over... I believe that as a therapist, continuing to evolve and grow more and more in the depths of your own shadows is necessary in order to start each new art therapy session as a blank page, with a fresh and open mind.

My name is Jasmina Mouchrique, I grew up on the North Sea, and after having lived for years in Brussels, I returned to live where my story once began. Yes, you heard me right; the sea was calling me... not discreetly, but so strongly that I left everything behind... I now offer sessions on the beach in Ostend, where I'd like to take you on your own journey of healing to the very depths of yourself.

Discover my newest creations here...

For me, being an artist means experimenting/exploring, letting your hands go, not looking for anything, and above all, giving free rein to your creativity, whether it's painting, writing, or crochet. I'm currently discovering what you can do with sand straight from the beach in Ostend on canvas. The result is pure alchemy and healing at the same time...

4 cushions crocheted from scraps of wool

It was a big challenge to combine these scraps of recycled wool, all with different thicknesses and colours, creatively in order to be able to crochet a coherent whole. The end result is a mix of different crochet techniques/stitches, including granny square, giving the whole thing a contemporary feel. Whether I'm crocheting, writing, or painting... It's magical every time to see a new creation being born from my hands.

You can now buy these handmade creations in the beautiful Maison Saints&Bullies shop in the heart of Ostend. Like me, the owner, Tina, believes in circular, ecological, and fair fashion. Don't hesitate to drop in and have a look around!
