About

Katrien Koolen
Born in Leuven, Belgium.
Lives & works in Hasselt, BE.
I am Katrien Koolen (1990), a relationship psychotherapist and writer.
My work is driven by a fascination for how language gives shape and meaning to our relational lives and their complexity.
At the heart of my work lies one central question: how do we relate to each other?
As a relationship therapist, I work closely with couples, helping them navigate love, conflict, distance, and connection.
As a writer and artist, I give language and form to the things we feel but rarely say out loud.
I believe relationships are not problems to be fixed, but stories to be understood.
